Gale/Romance: Difference between revisions

Line 30:

Gale's quest events during Act 3 in [[the Wizard of Waterdeep]] questline, and the choices the player makes during, have major implications for his romance conclusion at the end of the game, particularly in regards to if the player encourages Gale to seek and use the [[Crown of Karsus]] or not. Failing to finish Gale's questline before defeating [[the Netherbrain]] will also affect the ending.

==Romance Mechanics==

This section contains information regarding the unique in-game mechanics and interactions for Gale's romance.

===Unique Dialogue Options===

Following the love scene in Act 2, Gale will have the following unique dialogue options available when interacting with him both in camp and while he's in the player's party, instigated by selecting "I wanted to speak about us for a moment.":

* The player can ask for a kiss, and Gale will happily oblige. ("I want you to kiss me")

* The player can ask Gale how he's feeling about everything. His response will vary depending on recent events. ("How are you feeling?")

* The player can break up with Gale. ("I'm sorry. We have to end this.")

If the player breaks up with Gale, or if Gale breaks up with the player, these options will no longer be accessible, and Gale will act like the relationship never happened moving forward.

===Romancing Other Characters===

This section contains information regarding how the player's relationship with Gale impacts other romance options/scenes and vice versa.

Gale considers the player to be in a relationship with him after his love scene in Act 2. Romance choices made with other companions and characters prior to "consummating" Gale's relationship in Act 2 do not affect the player's ability unlock his love scene{{verify}}; however, following his love scene, Gale will usually demand monogamy from the player, with a few exceptions:

* Other companion characters cannot be romanced while maintaining a relationship with Gale (following his love scene in Act 2). If the player has not previously turned them down, some companions may express interest in the player but will acknowledge your relationship with Gale.

* '''Romancing [[Halsin]]''' - In Act 3, with high enough approval, Halsin may approach the player and express interest, offering to share you with Gale but only if Gale approves. You will have the option to decline his advances, approach Gale with this proposition, or simply break things off with Gale for Halsin instead. If the player asks Gale to bring Halsin into the relationship, {{Linkblur|Gale will passionately decline and demand the player must choose either him or Halsin. Choosing Halsin will end the relationship with Gale, allowing the player to report back to Halsin. Choosing Gale will continue the relationship as normal (there are no relationship consequences from this action in the future).}}

* '''Romancing [[Mizora]]''' - When triggered in Act 3, Mizora will acknowledge your relationship with Gale but will still instigate sex with the player. If you accept her advances, {{Linkblur|the love scene will trigger as normal; however, the following morning, Gale will walk in and express anger and disappointment at your actions. This will end your relationship with Gale.}}

* '''Romancing [[the Emperor]]''' - Your relationship with Gale does not affect this option triggering, nor does going through with it have any implications on your romance with Gale afterward. He will not mention it ever, even if he is {{Linkblur|one of the three party members who walk in the next morning.}}

* '''Romancing [[Sorn Orlith]]/[[Nym Orlith]]''' - When approached in [[Sharess' Caress]] in Act 3 while the player is in a relationship with Gale, the twins Sorn and Nym will offer the player the option to be with both of them at once, but only if both the player and Gale participate. Gale will {{Linkblur|express hesitation and discomfort at this proposition, but can be persuaded to agree it. If all agree, the scene that follows is a fade-to-black ("lights off") scene with dialogue. In the dark, the narrator announces that Gale has vanished and left behind a projection spell of himself (similar to the one he used prior to Act 2's love scene) to act in his place.}} This does not have any impact on your relationship with Gale in the future.

* '''Romancing [[Haarlep]]''' - Your relationship with Gale does not affect this option triggering, nor does going through with it have any implications on your romance with Gale afterward. If Gale is in the party and within earshot during the interaction, he will disapprove of you {{Linkblur|taking your clothes off when asked by Haarlep and vowing your body to him}} but it will not end the relationship or impact it in any way moving forward.
