do you guys ever think about how Wyll is introduced as an archetypal fantasy hero, but then it turns out he’s a warlock, who made a pact with a devil. Do you ever think about how Ansur is described as this fantastical dragon of myth, but then when you find him, he’s turned into an undead monstrosity. Do you think about how when Wyll does the right thing, he is punished to become more monstrous. Do you think about how as Wyll’s warlock powers grow, his spells get more horrific. Do you think about how Ansur was killed by his closest friend. Do think about how Wyll was cast out by the most important person in his life. do you guys ever think about Ansur and Wyll.

I think we can all argee. Wyll is a great but underdeveloped character. And someone else has probably already thought of this, but the problem with Wyll's story is it was used for world building not character development.

Words can not describe how infuriating I think it is that Ansur is a part of Wyll's companion mission. It literally has nothing to do with him, but it provides great world building. We learn more about Balduran, legends of Baldur's Gate, and about the Emperor. But we learn NOTHING new about Wyll.

Wyll is also used to connect and introduce new characters. Like Karlach, Mizora, Duke Ravengaurd, Florrick, Duke Stelmane, etc. He just adds a little more backstory to these characters. Besides hearing the strain on his and his father's relationship, we don't learn more about Wyll.

Compare that to Jaheira who also connects and introduces a few characters. It's the other harpers who she leads, her best friend Minsc, and her children. These add world building but let us see and understand Jaheira as a character more.

Also comparing Jaheira and Wyll's stories, Wyll is the "blade of the frontier" but it's mentioned just a bit. While we see Karlach literally fangirl of Jaheira because of the tales of Jaheira. I understand that Jaheira is from the previous games, and she's been a hero for a much longer time. But Wyll is a hero too and known well enough to have a nickname. They should have at least some books or someone at the Grove fangirling over him.

Personally, I'm not a big Warlock fan with fighting, but I love having Wyll in my party walking around/exploring because you get to learn about him and see his personality more (him and Shadowheart talking about mermaid smut, priceless). I just wish his story was more about him

If I had a nickel for every time there were tragic gays in bg3 where one is a dragon leading the other to rule the city and the other is a human with a crazy ego whose ambitions lead to there tragic ends I would have two nickles which isn't a lot but it's werid it happened twice

Draconic bloodline sorcerer wyll

So I always thought Wyll’s companion quest being around Ansur was a little random, but I do like the concept of Wyll maybe having some suppressed draconic sorcery? Anyone down with that?

He can definitely sprout little bronze wings that drawing is next 🙏

Hey guys, ive been wanting to get a baldurs gate 3 tattoo for a while now and i finally did it. It felt most fitting to get the heart of the gate because the game really does have my heart.

I present to you, Ansur The Heart Of The Gate.

I can not believe that this is actually a cutscene in the game and I'm not even joking
