let me act like a big brother for once

ID: 2 gifs of Zeldris and Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai). 1: Gif from The Seven Deadly Sins season 4 episode 17, "The Voice That Calls Your Name". Inside Zeldris' mindscape, after Meliodas has just freed him, Zeldris turns towards Meliodas' shocked, saying "You really came to save me." 2: Gif from the movie The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light. After Zeldris has just broken into Dubs' Staff of Imprisonment, Meliodas sits up from where he was lying in Elizabeth's lap. He looks at Zeldris, smiling, but also surprised, and says "You came to save me". /End ID.

Wall of the faithless isn't canon in bg3. They changed alot of things actually. So no Gale isn't "scared" he's just an obsessed asshole who doesn't learn from his mistakes.

Oof...

There's really nothing I can say except: you're wrong. The City of Judgement and the Wall of the Faithless are canon to BG3. If you don't like Gale, that's fine, but you don't have to make things up or completely disregard the lore to do it. Larian Studios literally hired people from Wizards of the Coast—the company responsible for all the canon lore, characters, and campaigns in D&D—to help them with the story. It took them five years, I believe, to fully study and understand the lore. They constantly conferred with the team to double, triple, and quadruple check every slice of content they added to the game, and parts of the game are now considered canon to D&D 5E.

As for Gale "not learning" from his mistakes ... when you first meet him, he literally admits he made a mistake with Mystra. Though personally I don't see it as the "power-hungry" move people seem to think it is. Gale simply wanted to be considered an equal to his partner (really his groomer), which is a perfectly healthy and normal desire for anyone in a relationship. Your partner should treat you like an equal, but Mystra very clearly saw Gale as a pet. A trophy. A worshipper. Subservient. Beneath her. A silly mortal with delusions of grandeur (which she cultivated), which is really rich when you learn she was once mortal herself. Mystra is a hypocrite.

Gale tried to prove himself worthy of equality by trying to bring Mystra what he thought was a piece of her missing Weave. For anyone who doesn't know, the current Mystra was torn to pieces by Cyric and Shar, then put back together by her Chosen. Though back to full power by the events of BG3, she's still technically missing pieces of herself, and Gale mistook the Karsite Weave for one of those pieces. Instead of simply telling Gale it was corrupted Weave, she let him go on believing it was hers. Personally I think that's because she was tired of him (maybe he got too old for her 😒) and was hoping he would do something that, in her mind, would justify abandoning him—but I admit that's full conjecture on my part. What is true is that she knew the orb wasn't hers, but for some reason she let Gale think it was. Even after she abandoned him and left him to die, she never told him. Not until she realised she could use him.

In Act 3, while the argument can certainty be made that he's thirsty for power, Gale ultimately becomes fed up with the gods because, as he knows better than anyone, they treat people like commodities. While I have no intention of ever ascending him myself, it looks like he actually makes good on his word. He doesn't threaten or toy with his followers, he inspires people to walk their own path, he only asks for prayers as payment (as without some form of devotion, gods in D&D cease to be), and if you romance him ... he ascends you into godhood as his equal. Mystra could have done this for him, she just didn't want to. And if you don't want him to ascend, it's genuinely so easy. I don't understand what people are complaining about. It takes one conversation with zero checks to convince him to completely abandon his ambitions. One. If he was truly "power hungry", it wouldn't be that easy.

Again, I would argue that Gale's true goal isn't really power, it's freedom, and divinity gives him that freedom. He has many conversations where he makes it clear he doesn't want to live under the gods' thumbs anymore; which, in a world like Faerûn, is extremely understandable. As I said in my Wall of the Faithless post, he's scared. Eternal torment for a simple mistake, one of which could've been avoided if Mystra told him the truth or treated him like an equal? When your partner is a goddess, how can you not feel inadequate? And if you convince him to give up the crown, he's perfectly content with Mystra's forgiveness. Even in the Early Access, that's all he really wanted.

Gale's far from perfect. He's arrogant and overconfident and insecure and he can be prone to emotional outbursts (most of which he apologises for, however), but he's nowhere near the heartless, power-hungry monster the haters seem to think he is. He is, in fact, one of the most compassionate companions in the entire camp, to the point that he accepts everyone, including Minthara. He votes for Astarion to stay when you find out he's a vampire. He gets mad at you if you surrender him to the Gur. He's one of the only companions who will openly marry/stay with you if you become a mindflayer. He's willing to sacrifice himself to save the world, and willing to damn himself to be with you. He loves every act of kindness, while hating every act of cruelty. I understand that the bugs from launch ruined a lot of people's perception of him ... and unfortunately some of those glitches are still present even now, but he is a good man.

I never quite finished these two cards the first time i tried making a PJO major arcana and I never posted them. I really like the designs though so I’ll probably try to do something similar when I draft them again

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #leo valdez #my art #tarot #hoo #the main thing i wanted to adjust for the Leo card was the Festus cause. i was struggling to simplify a mechanical dragon for tarot #also wasn't 100% on the embers detail cause wasnt sure how well that'd translate to a physical card #nico's was pretty close to done though #also i never figured out a boarder / font #im still obsessed with the way Leo was described during the fight in the end of BoO for the record #just ''yup he was MADE OF FIRE'' so cool #i can go through my list of my card assignments if anyone's curious #a couple of cards arent fully solidly decided but a decent amount are #also looking at my old art is reminding me the colors on my old monitor were a Lil Skewed #so saturated.... #nico's card will prob stay mostly the same though cause hell yeah that rocks. still love it. #if anyone's curious for these card reasonings - #judgement is traditionally depicted with an angel raising the dead and the planetary association is pluto. #i couldn't NOT. also card meanings: destiny / upcoming decision / putting past behind / healing / judgement / self-reflect / self-doubt #which is very nico vibes to me #then death is resistance to change / major change / endings & start of something new / personal transformation #which feels very Leo to me! plus i like the imagery of instead of Death on a horse it's Leo on Festus at the end of BoO #cause that was him ending a chapter of him trying to find himself and starting anew

Meliodas and Ban are such boyfriend in prisoners of the sky. Like the flirting and overprotective behaviour is just something else.

I'd argue they flirt harder this film than Meliodas and Elizabeth do

Protective Melban has such a special place in my heart, you don't even know. The Purgatory arc is another great example. I mean, just look at them!

And speaking of Prisoners of the Sky, this moment in the dub is just *chef's kiss*

For the anon who said the Wall of the Faithless isn’t canon to bg3–I was thinking of that post today when I found a book in the House of Hope’s archive that detailed the wall! So beyond a blanket “all forgotten realms lore is canon to the game” statement, the Wall is for sure there too.

Poor Mr. of Waterdeep 🥲

That's right! This was also pointed out by @superanonymousthethird, who posted a pic of the journal when they reblogged my answer to that ask. The Wall of the Faithless is absolutely canon to BG3, unfortunately.

Karlach also speaks several times about the City of Judgement and how she fears it, because she doesn't revere any gods and isn't sure if any of them would welcome her into their domain. She mentions it in the graveyard and after killing Gortash, if you choose that path.

Karlach is just as terrified of dying as Gale is, because the ending probably won't be a happy one. That said, Karlach at least has a better chance of being welcomed into someone's domain, even if she doesn't know it. Gale has no chance because he's a fallen Chosen, abandoned by his goddess.

Now, I am aware that in 2020 the 5E Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide was edited and re-released with all mention of the Wall removed, which means it's now only mentioned in previous editions of D&D. Therefore, technically, when it comes to people's irl campaigns, the existence of the Wall is up to their discretion, but in the case of BG3, the Wall of the Faithless is provably canon, which would make sense since the story for the game was finished before 2020.

This is why Gale, Karlach, and even Shadowheart are so scared. Shadowheart in particular has a deeply gripping comment about why people cling to the gods, and why she converts to Selûne. I'm an atheist myself, but in the Fogotten Realms, gods are incontestably real ... and sadly so are their punishments. This is why Gale is so desperate to either earn Mystra's forgiveness or break free by becoming a god himself.

He's surprisingly quiet for such a big boy :3c When he wants to be, anyway. uwu Part one of a little thing that is definitely getting away from me, because the idea of plopping my Krampus inspired Eclipse down in the same vicinity as @naffeclipse little hunter and cryptid boys has been plaguing me for a month and... uwu well ye.. COUPLE THINGS. This is definitely set in a sort of pre-reveal moment... Yes, Moon is roasting marshmallows just to watch them burn (also assuming the fire isn't bright enough to swap him to sun because I didn't think about that till it was too late) and I'm having way too much fun with the demon-y shadow hands already. Brain started dying trying to sort out how to face in the panel after this last one SO break time for sleep and then back on this uwu. Also gives me time to think angles and a lil dialogue to go with it. BUT BOY he sure looks happy to see them :3c Yea?

so many of the things people are complaining about in DD2 just sounds like it's coming from people who never played the first game or don't have a clue how Dragons Dogma games are played at all.

no multiple character saves? in the first game.

unable to change your characters appearance immediately (but you can and you don't need to spend real life money to do so). also in the first game.

no easy way to fast travel everywhere on the map? in the first game.

not to mention the micro transactions. you guys are blowing those out of proportion. they are all completely optional AND items you can get relatively easily in game if you just play the game.

optimization issues are an ever occurring thing that consistently happens with newer games. it's not okay but it's not like DD2 is the only game that suffers from this.

it's also not an easy game. it's designed to kill you at every point in the game and you are meant to have to try multiple times to succeed.

i just don't think the level of negative criticism DD2 is getting is fair.
