#I would have NEVER survived the gale and wyll hate they are my favorites

[ratedgforgale]

playing bg3 on release with no major spoilers was truly a privilege (I think?)

honestly feel like I learn new things everyday and wonder how much truth there is to certain statements

seems like early access was madness

Ranking the BG3 Companions

Recently finished the epilogue and wanted to give my final opinions ❤️

#1.) Astarion: A murder-hungry vampire out for revenge; a constant mask of seduction covering a traumatic past. Someone who slowly grows to trust you over time, and opens up to you. Is it any surprise I love him? He’s complex, layered, and has so much growth if given the chance. I love him.

#1.) Gale: What can I say? Men with brown hair and big brown eyes are my weakness. Gale is socially-awkward but so charming, full of dry humor, and ridiculously endearing. I mean, he cooks for you. He has a pet tressym and writes poetry. He has the most over-complicated revival I’ve ever seen. I can and will kill Mystra for him. I love him.

#1.) Halsin: My dream man. He’s incredibly respectful, extremely communicative, and kind. He whittles ducks, for god’s sake - and can transform into a giant bear to cuddle with. He’s passionate, very unsubtle about his feelings, and wants to make the world a better place. I love him.

#1.) Jaheira: First of all, she’s a MILF. Second of all, she has the greatest sense of humor. I’ve called her old so many times because she genuinely finds it hilarious. She even gives approvals for that! She may hate being wrong, but if you’re honest with her, she will admit and amend her mistakes. I love her.

#1.) Karlach: Of course she’s #1. Have you seen her? She’s a tiefling golden retriever, and she’s so much more than that. She is fierce, strong, and kind, even in the shittiest of scenarios. She hardened herself to survive what she went through, but she still seeks out joy. She could lift me over her shoulder and carry me to safety <3 I would give her the world. I love her.

#1.) Lae’zel: So many people misunderstand Lae’zel because they never put in any effort to get to know her, and it breaks my heart. She starts off the game terrified. She tries with all her might to get you and the camp to the only cure she knows. She is smart, well-disciplined, and grows so much if you just give her a chance. I love her.

#1.) Minsc: Minsc is perfect. He’s always trying his best. He has a miniature giant space hamster that he always carries around and both trusts and respects like no other. He’s thoughtful, brave, and an excellent fighter. Look in the dictionary for the word ‘himbo,’ it’ll be a picture of Minsc. I love him.

#1.) Shadowheart: Shadowheart is so good to her core that Shar had to essentially put an ‘only evil thoughts’ shock collar on her. She’s incredibly sweet, loves animals, and hates needless cruelty even after all that brainwashing. She’s god’s favorite princess and the most interesting girl in the world. I can and will kill Shar for her. I love her.

#1.) Wyll: Not only does he have the best entrance in the game, but he’s the pure definition of a charming hero. Wyll is passionate and constantly determined despite the odds and despite the circumstances. He has a cheesy pose he does every time he says his hero name. He’s unexpectedly snarky. He’s a true romantic, and even dances with you. I can and will kill Mizora for him. I love him.
