look, im as fond of academic/professor gale as the next person, but when i say academic, i do not mean aesthetic dark academia. i mean gale as an unhinged college professor who’s only there for the research. i mean gale who:
- comes in on four hours of sleep because he was rewriting one sentence for two hours at 2 in the morning
- has an extremely specific gripe with one very niche convention in his field, and will tell you about it
- has fallen asleep facedown in freshly inked parchment more than once
- irritates his colleagues because he’s always late on his departmental teaching paperwork, but he has tenure so there’s nothing they can do
- has VERY STRONG OPINIONS about other academics and their research or lack thereof
- is generally seen as both a brilliant academic and an absolute madman
THAT’S the good stuff right there.
character designer beats baldur's gate 3
gale's early access dialogue transcripts - first meeting/character introduction
while going through my metas on gale's early access scenes and dialogues that were largely cut (deer stew scene, loss scene, various dialogues reacting to the game's world and events, tiefling party romance path, etc etc etc), i realised i never talked about how very different his introduction was in early access in comparison to how it is now.
i'll focus on the early access version of the first meeting with gale and his character introduction in this post with a short general comparison between the two scenes (early access vs full release), dialogue transcript of the early access scene, and a video of the early access recruitment of gale.
general
in the full release version of the game, the player isn't introduced to gale right away. you approach a malfunctioning netherese rune, out of which a hand appears. from there, you can either decide to rescue gale from the predicament that he found himself in while trying to save himself from the crashing nautiloid, or leave him to his fate. he is very much a "damsel in distress" in this moment, largely relying either on the protag's curiosity or their good will.
in early access, it was very different:
as soon as you approached the rune, a cutscene would trigger where gale would step out of the netherese teleportation rune as if he transported from one rune to another, which he then explains as much if the protag would ask him about it. he was in no need to be rescued, seemingly already exploring before the protag woke up at the beach, perhaps less impaired by the crash than they were.
transcript
(Protag approaches Netherese Teleportation Rune, Gale steps out of the Netherese Teleportation Rune) Gale: You're alive. That's unexpected. Last I saw you, you were laying in a crucible's worth of blood, an intellect devourer nibbling at your ear. Glad to see my eyes deceived me. I'm Gale. Well met!
Protag - Option 1: Well met. You were on the ship as well, I presume? Gale: The very same. A traumatising experience – if an instructive one. - Protag - Option 2: Where did you appear from? Gale: See that rune? Netherese, I think. Weave's so thick on it, it's almost viscous. I had a taste and just like that – swept from one rune to the next. - Protag - Option 3: You don't trust him. Draw your weapon. Gale: Ooh – easy does it, lass/lad. You really, really don't want to do that. Not a threat, just an observation.
Gale: Besides, we just survived a stint through Hell on a nautiloid. Statistically speaking we’re anomalies on par with a convivial aboleth. - Protag - Option 1: (Sheath your weapon.) Gale: Reason answered by reason! Say – are you perchance a wizard? To be more precise; an archwizard. - Protag - Option 2: And why would I really, really not want to attack you? Gale: We'll get to that. I have a much pressing question first: are you perchance a wizard? To be more precise; an archwizard. - Protag - Option 3: (Attack.) Gale: Dear me. Lets hope I win – bound to be innocents around. (Ends conversation, begins combat)

Play Here
Dream of Silence Update: Act 1, Patch 1
Fixed error where punching Godey sometimes leads to a blank screen. Please continue to punch Godey.
You now have to have seen the mouse before you can tell Astarion about the mouse.
Clerics and paladins can now pray for help before resting. It does about as much as one might expect.
Act 2 is now playable.
Dream of Silence Update: Act 2, Patch 1
Fixed error where you can be trapped eternally talking about the teddy bear. That's a different nightmare.
Druids with high Speech can now purr.
Added a different sound effect that plays when you achieve one of the 'Dark' feats.
Act 3 is done. This is now a complete game.
Act 3, Patch 1 Notes
Combined all acts into one seamless game.
Separated game into three difficulties.
Made Reverie considerably easier.
Made Dream slightly easier.
Added warnings that more explicitly link health loss to leaving Astarion entirely alone.
Sight 3 now lets you get a sense of how comfortable Astarion is touching you, which is distinct from how much he trusts you.
Credited Carla.
A Shared Space
A shadow loomed behind Tav's shoulder, obscuring the light by which they read. The clearing of a throat soon followed.
"Good evening." Gale began, rather stiffly.
Tav was, by this point, accustomed to the formality born of nervousness that occasionally decorated the wizard’s speech. Tav closed their book and looked up at the wizard, smiling encouragingly. Which seemed to ease his worry somewhat as he returned the smile with great warmth.
"The all consuming cold of this area seems as oppressive as ever..." Tav nodded in slow agreement, awaiting his true missive.
"Though we've vanquished all obstacles, it has done little to improve chill of the darkness of standing with Shar's shadow. Such ill-tempered circumstances cast a heavy pall over one's self if you catch my meaning." He'd become unnecessarily verbose even by his own standards as his nerves seemed to have crept back in.
"In light of that or rather lack of light if I were to be accurate. Hm." He'd allowed himself a little chuckle at his own joke. "In light of our...evolving bond, I was curious if you'd consider a relocation of your sleeping arrangements. Namely to my tent?" He shifted on his feet uncomfortably before adding. "Although if you'd prefer the modicum of privacy our tents provide, I would, of course, understand."
He paused until certain she knew what he was implying and awaited swift corrective action. When none came, he forged on. "But it would brighten my lodgings considerably to have you there. As I would yours. I hope..."
Tav feigned consideration. Their mind already made up. Before nodding and smiling brightly.
As though sun had broken through the clouds and shone upon the Shadowlands again, Gale grinned broadly before beginning the work he'd clearly deemed necessary and immediate.
"That is, most excellent to hear. I shall attend to everything, you needn’t concern yourself with the shift beyond your eventual presence."
As he spoke, all manner of Tav's personal belongings floated behind him. In a slow procession towards his tent. As Tav watched them go, Gale seemed to observe their face with plain adorationation across his face.
"You will, of course, have final say upon the arrangements, but I assure you I've orchestrated quite the luxurious accommodations for us both."
He paused in rambling as if uncertain again.
"Perhaps you'd like to take your reading to a more private local? Ensure it is to your liking." He offered his hand, which Tav now gladly took. As he led them towards their shared tent, following behind the last of their effects. He gave their hand a firm squeeze as they ducked into the doorway.

A hundred or so years into their relationship Astarion and my redeemed Durge would take 10+ years out of their lifes to settle down and take care of some random kitten they found on the street, going so far as to buy/rent a house just so they can watch this cat grow old
It’s a mere blink in their existence, but damn if they didn’t love that little creature to pieces
You must gather your party before venturing forth… some vintage style bg portraits of the faves for fun

Scribbles of the Sword Coast Day 5: Curious Artefact
“It is a strange experience each time anew—like a lost soul is spelunking through the darkness that is me, only to be sacrificed on the dread altar of the heart.”
(I’ve already done a piece with this sort of situation but I wanted to sketch something similar for Larian’s prompts, plus Tara needs to be in here this time!)
