    Best thing about this is when you attack Elminster, he’s actually just a construct. So he didn’t even bother to turn up personally.

        I don’t think even that would faze the real Elminster much. He’s as close to a god that a mortal can get in the Forbidden Realms I think, the champion of the living embodiment of magic itself. I mean, he didn’t even consider an Elder Brain to be worth his undivided attention.

      You say that like Gale actively planned to try and kill Mystra. He was trying to give her back a piece of something that he thought was part of her. Meanwhile she was such a fool she couldn’t see that this mortal was pining to do something for her. Instead of saying it was dangerous she just kept saying “Nah babe, I don’t need anything, I’m good.”

      So I’m not sure saying “Here. Kill yourself.” REMOTELY fits the ‘crime’ of making a mistake in trying to display admiration for your aloof idiot girlfriend who is supposedly a God but too blind to see what is right in front of her.

    The thing about it is, his isn’t even the most uninteresting storyline. His whole and only deal is literally “guy who can’t get over his abusive ex” and it’s still more riveting than whatever they did to Wyll.

    For real, though, if the Elminster in this scene is illusory (and it is), where did my food go?

      It’s not an illusion, it’s a simulacrum. It’s a material copy of the real thing so he totally actually ate your food even though he totally didn’t need to.

      I mean, I thought Wyll’s sorry line was cool. I did think he was a little boring as a parson though. I guess compared to the other companions he’s just too safe feeling. But I liked his story with Mizzora, and I found the ending with his father gratifying.

    Gandalf is in BG3? Dang! Now I’m really sad that I never found Gale. I’m about to finish the game, so it’s definitely too late to go back and find him.
