His initial impressions so far:

"gale is sus as fuck

I like the two ladies, but they sadly have friction between them

the white vampire lad is just annoying and sitting in the camp

I like the black swordsman dude, but I'm curious what gale is up to, so swordsy is sitting in camp as well"

He's been playing a half orc barbarian so he has been doing all the classic barbarian things (broke Shart out of her box with strength, intimidated his way through many situations, etc.)

So far, he went straight to the goblin camp after doing a bit of the Grove content and got demolished by Dror Ragzlin.

He hasn't found Withers yet. I haven't spoiled anything to him but have strongly insisted he try to find "the talking mummified man". I have also recommended following up on Wyll's "hunt" and promised him he will find "something nice" at the end of it. I will return with more updates once he progresses more.

Gale is sus as fuck at first. He's too charming. My first thought was "this dude's hiding something..." and I mean... I was right. It just wasn't about being evil. I never trust a character that's immediately nice when everyone up to that point has been a jerk.

That MF is also the only one who doesn't connect tadpoles but he's all like "hey I was totes on that ship with you!"

Sure you were, motherfucker.

Oh and now you want to eat all my shit? Fuck you, wizards are my last favorite caster anyway.

He ran off and I never found Astarion until my fourth or fifth playthrough.

It just wasn’t about being evil.

I mean, it can be about evil. If you give Gale enough leash he will take the Karsus weave and the crown, merge them, and become a god.
