I’m not even talking about bugs. Opinion based on act1 and very beginning of act2 experience.

    1. Dialog and player choices feel railroaded as heck, options are suddenly lovelove or rude as fuck. Quality of dialog writing is very different from other parts of the game.
    1. His story is r/rpghorrorstory level problematic. From DM perspective his backstory and associate npc’s are especially bad choices.

  • It wouldn’t bother as much if either was better, but both in current state just sticks out to me.

My partner thinks this character must be some executives personal OP character shoe horned in to game despite criticism.

spoiler

sidenote: His story would work far better if he was delusional insane person. Instead its literal game over with “certain choices”, if you take him out of the portal.

    At ttrpg, most dm’s are adviced not to allow gale like backstory in to a table of normal low lvl characters, its very trouble prone and easily takes away fun and choice from others to make one character/player feel powerful.

    Plenty of Discussion online, where dm asks other dms on the internet advice about this 15 yr old teen. Who has this character gale he wants to play. Its actually cursed lvl20 wizard, literal lover of gods and has friends who are lvl20, and worst of all. Can interact with these lvl20 friend characters at low lvl. Also has a lvl9 true ress scroll on him that the other players have to use on his character, if it dies too early or the world ends.

      That’s not gale that you’re describing. You’re describing an actual horror story that has absolutely nothing to do with gale, as I explain in my comment.

      The resurrection, you don’t need to give him btw, you’re the dm. If you were honest you would also acknowledge that there is a character in BG3 that can sell true resurrection to you for 200gp.
