Every time I've investigated the cellar and run into the mirror I just threatened to smash it, but no, this time I'm RPing Aldiirn properly, we're gonna do it the right way, and well… lemme tell you I had a Time

Did I intentionally chose wrong answers to see the origins' unique options for the reflection question? Or was I just really bad at guessing the right answer? no one will ever know…

let's take a long rest b'ys

I think part of what people respond to about Rolan in BG3 is that he pushes back against the protagonist in a way that NPCs rarely do. He sasses you. He lashes out at you. That makes him feel like a much realer element and gives him an internality NPCs often don't get.

I also think that people are drawn to the way that he's really the protagonist of his own story that just parallels yours. Things happen to him offscreen that move him and his story forward. Things that change and shape him. He is having his own heroes' journey that you keep stepping on. And ultimately you're his savior, but he responds to that in an appropriately complex way. He's not at all pleased at having to be saved. Which is really relatable.

So yeah. For a side character, Rolan has a ton of his own internality and complexity. Plus he's got the fandom catnip of off-screen scenes very worth expanding on. I get it. He's good stuff.
