Can I be real for a sec? It still um. Weirds me out. That there is still a certain group of fans who obsess over a certain voice actor and equate that VA to a fictional character.

[amnestria-the-elf]

Wyll literally has his own special dish that he wants to cook for special occasions (roast venison a la Ravengard.) He says explicitly that he hopes Gale will be okay with giving up the cooking duties to let him make it. And he knows about fancy wine; he compares your kiss to the finest wines from Daggerford to Cormyr. He's out here going through your entire stash of wine you looted from Last Light hoping he can find something suitable.

The man can cook and he does it with flair.

You’re the biggest Wyll fan I know of, so I wanted to ask your opinion on something; can Wyll cook when the tadfools are camping?

I’ve separated everyone else into yes (Gale, Halsin, Jaehira, my PC) and no (Lae’zel, Shadowheart, Minsc, Minthara, Karlach) and Oh Fuck No (Astarion) but I’m fully on the fence for Wyll

For context ’can they cook’ really means ‘can they cook well’ not ‘is it edible’

The honor of being asked for Wyll Wisdom.

In all seriousness, though, thanks for clarifying with that last sentence, and I can see why you're on the fence about it because even I am in all honesty. My personal headcanon, I would say he's a decent cook. Reason being, I could see him hanging around his cooks and nannies growing up, but I don't think he ever had to really to fend for himself in that way until he was exiled from Baldur's Gate. At that point, he was forced to learn how to cook for himself out in the wilderness. It was sink or swim then, a matter of survival, but I could see him eventually learning how to make comfort foods for himself over the years, especially in times when he can afford to buy better spices and seasonings. However, practicality will always take precedence out on the frontier. He's not going to always be cooking to make things taste good. He'll be cooking to put food in his and others' bellies, so that's why I lean towards decent, which might not be the yes or no you want, sorry. 😅

Plus, the man is a charmer. I can see people in taverns and villages just as likely to offer him a hot meal and a roof over his head for slaying their monsters, so cooking isn't exactly a skill he would have honed in my opinion. Nowhere near Gale's level of skill in terms of the tadfools, but if I had to choose, I would tentatively put him in the lower rankings of the "yes" category solely because he cooks relatively better than some of the others in the group, and they'd likely eat his food if offered. If that makes sense!

Wyll thinking the clown is hilarious and Halsin being very confused by the clown, while everyone else just wants to murder the clown, brings me endless joy

Daily Halsin

Have I mentioned that the ending of Act 2 is my favourite moment in the game? A great tragedy (I can't help but feel for Ketherick, an absolute monster but at least he was capable of some feelings earlier in his life, and those feelings were his doom) and a great relief when the whole region is basically resurrected. By us.:)

breaking character for a moment

some of you do not understand Wyll’s character so let me say this:

YOUR HONOR ITS NOT FAIR HE GAVE UP HIS CHILDHOOD TO PLEASE HIS DAD AND HIS YOUNGER YEARS TO SAVE THE WORLD AND HE MAKES ONE MISTAKE AND IS TRICKED AND SUDDENLY THE ENTIRE WORLD NOW VIEWS HIM AS A DEVIL AND HE STILL CHOOSES TO BE A GOOD PERSON BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE PEOPLE OF BALDURS GATE ARE WORTH SAVING EVEN IF THEY WILL FOREVER JUDGE HIM AND SEE HIM AS A DEVIL FIRST. HE CONTINUES TO BE KIND

can't go mumblin about a lack of wyll content if im not gonna saddle up and draw my beautiful prince myself

got a new save (because i figured out how to play with THREE tavs muahaha) and i've been missing wyll's banter and romance absent in my no-companion run. i love him, your honor.

i'm also a big fan of the trend of tieflings getting their horns tangled with wyll's after cuddling seshes, but i realized long-haired updo bitches like me can live that dream too! especially my Songbird and her silly lil side-bun (i'm also aware the first panel and the second don't necessarily hook up in terms of how that tangling works. counterpoint: i made this in an hour, man, ive been job-drawing all month im so tired)

Everyone talks about what a nice guy Wyll is, but if you dare to play the lyre around him "poorly," he will threaten to stab you

Never fear!! The Blade of Frontiers, Wyll, is here (sketched)!! ❤️🗡✨️

I think I disagree with the idea that Wyll’s happiest ending (breaking his pact and rescuing his father) is too “contrived.” I want to push back on this take I've been seeing that it’s “unrealistic” to succeed in rescuing Ulder even if resisting Mizora’s goals in the matter.

if the world were a better place we'd have had an actual quest tied to figuring out Ulder's whereabouts apart from Mizora's tip-off, but since we don't have that, I still want to defend the rescue as entirely plausible even if we're not told immediately where to go. none of this "but the consequence should have been Ulder's death because Mizora tried to kill him/said he would die" - please do remember that Mizora is a devil! devils will do (demonstrably, and consistently), whatever they can in order to make their deals either seem like the "only way out" of some kind of existing crisis, and/or have the fulfillment of those deals be so entirely empty (or horrific) upon deliverance that you were likely better off never taking them at all.

I think the point that Mizora is manipulative and vague and scheming and as a devil will always try to twist things up to position “her way” as the “only way” is a big deal in Wyll’s arc. Wyll repeatedly cautions you against devil deals throughout the entire game because he is intimately familiar with the ways that Mizora sets things up to her advantage and manipulates her outcomes. so to be there for him in that moment with Mizora, proving to Wyll that he does not have to face everything alone, that he can choose his freedom and still pursue hope for rescuing his father, is extremely important.

Mizora has historically isolated Wyll and preyed on his deeply self-sacrificial nature time and time again, so this is the moment! this is the moment the player can be a champion for Wyll when he has never had someone to step up and do that for him before. and it would suck, it would be awful, if the only option to be a champion for Wyll meant giving in to Mizora's manipulations in one way or another. Wyll has only ever believed he could choose between "either they get hurt, or I get hurt," and he has always chosen the latter. this is the moment someone can finally stand at Wyll's side and say "no, you do not have to choose one pain over the other. you deserve your freedom and we will save your father."
