Why does everyone hate this BG3 companion? Players think he gets too much of a bad rap
While Baldur’s Gate 3 players have fallen in love with companions like Shadowheart and Karlach, Gale is by far the most hated of them—but the minority who enjoy the wizard is trying to convince everyone otherwise.
The reason why players are not so keen on Gale, without giving away too many spoilers, is because he has a special condition that demands you donate magical artifacts to him. If you choose to ignore Gale, he’ll leave the party permanently and make a deal with the devil Raphael. On top of that, there’s also a bug that makes Gale kill everyone at camp and even other NPCs.
