I feel like I’m losing my damn mind. I would’ve reloaded (or literally restarted the entire game) if I realized how much content a single damn skill check less than 30 minutes in would make me miss by failing. I feel like I’ve been nearly everywhere in Act 1. Where the fuck is he? Did I miss him? I’m like 30 hours in now. I don’t want to restart the game.

    No guides I could find have been able to find him later. No confirmation it’s impossible, but also nobody being able to shown it is possible.

    Earlier I made a comment about how I’m playing this game making deliberate use of the F5 key, the quick save one, because I hate how one unexpected dice roll can absolutely destroy your goals. People kept commenting how “this game isn’t for me” and how I’m “having fun wrong” so yeah… this is once again proves I’m right.

    Sorry you missed on him, if it makes you feel better, many players that played the early access purposely avoid him because of a certain “annoying” characteristic I won’t spoil here.

        He leaves the party permanently if you do, i just keep a couple junk items around in my inventory for it and it hasn’t been an issue

          Same. I picked a qualifying magic item for Gale. I think it sucks, so I just keep it for Gale for when he has the need for it. Looking out for you buddy!

      • If the annoyance is what I think it is: It’s not that annoying since there are plenty of completely worthless things he can use, and he only needs like 2 or 3. And he is so worth it.

      Yeah, all I’m seeing are shitty gaming journalism articles saying maybe in Act 2 you’ll see him because of his companion quest being relevant there. I also saw some random Redditor say Act 3 with zero context added.

      I feel I might know what annoying trait you’re talking about. I’ve seen some magic items that say something about being able to be consumed by Gale. Which is even funnier if he’s gone forever.

      I really am enjoying the game, but it bugs me when folks say it is perfect.

      Okay, I have heard Elminster makes an appearance but I haven’t ran into him yet. I will hold out hope.

    He’s jumps out of a portal right beside the crashed mindflayer ship. You need to interact with the portal

      He did. He failed the skill check to bring him out. His question was if there was another way to get him if you fail pulling him out of the portal.

      His hand was waving out of it and I attempted a Strength check. I failed. I had zero inspiration at this point. Then he went into the portal, possibly to never be seen again.
