“I’ve heard people refer to Gale as the golden receiver boy of the group, but I never saw it myself until my girlfriend of almost six years decided that he was the end all, be all of sheer male attraction. Honestly, I’m flabbergasted by this turn of events.”
He explains that they are, in fact, the golden retriever type of boyfriend, meaning that his girlfriend falls for Gale because he is a reminder of her real-life partner.
The Baldur’s Gate 3 community is blown away by the sentimentality of the story, with many other fans sharing similar experiences:
“My golden retriever fiance was really hyped to show me, a nice girl who tries really hard to look all edgy and goth (wanna guess who he romanced?), BG3 solely for Astarion. I like vamps, blondes and this cheesy romance vibe so… Of course I fell hard for Gale lol.”
It appears that Gale has charmed so many Baldur’s Gate 3 players, in fact, that some have begun to name him the “Rizzard of Waterdeep.”
It’s a heartwarming story that shows, again, how much this game has resonated with players and newcomers alike.
