glint's such a great foil to gorion's ward. you've got this person leaving their isolated home for the first time, a 20-year-old thrown into an unfamiliar world, then you've got glint. even if half his stories are bullshit, glint's got ten times the life experience they do. sure, gorion's ward can kill a demigod, but do they know how to shop for groceries? would they know where to go if they want to send a letter? they're an obvious mark, has anyone given them tips for not getting pickpocketed? do they know how to tell if someone's lying after a lifetime around good-natured people who effectively raised them? and you know glint knows how to party. gorion's ward did not have time to go to the club. glint would remedy that in a heartbeat.
#plus gorion's ward's life has been dramatically altered by shapeshifters... shapeshifters are associated with glint's patron god...#and he's so non-confrontational while gorion's ward(as an rpg protagonist) has to be confrontational. or else there's no story.#i know people don't like glint but i feel like someone wanted to write him specifically for gorion's ward.#not as a character on his own but as something to balance them out. especially a more pessimistic or anxious gorion's ward.#they fit together like two puzzle pieces. i'm still sad neera and dorn and rasaad made it into the sequel but he didn't.#baldur's gate#bg1
