Gale is a mixed bag as a companion. On the one hand, he\u2019s one of the most versatile party members you can have, with access to insanely powerful AOE spells like Fireball and Lightning Bolt, and mobility spells like Misty Step. On the other hand, he\u2019ll violently explode if you don\u2019t give him an enchanted pair of shoes to consume. The downside to rolling with Gale is every so often you need to prevent the party\u2019s imminent demise by letting him refuel from a magical item. Which you\u2019ll never see again once he\u2019s done with it. Unsurprisingly, this has led Gale to develop a bit of a reputation within the Baldur\u2019s Gate community, seeing as many players may have to sacrifice powerful items to keep him around. However, one player is determined to stop this slander. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fan claims Gale\u2019s condition isn\u2019t that bad On the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, this player defended the wizard of Waterdeep by arguing that he didn\u2019t actually need that many magical items in order to progress his quest. They said: \u201cThe Gale issue seems overblown. Everybody harps on him eating magic items, but he eats like only three and there are plenty of garbage ones. Just seems like a weird focus when there are other Gale problems to focus on.\u201d Several other Gale defenders piped up, with another player saying: \u201cI totally agree, this is a nonissue. I mostly give him the Absolute stuff, since I don\u2019t get the brand normally. And there is generally a lot of stuff you don\u2019t really need.\u201d Hopefully, this is the boost Gale needs to become as popular as Astarion and Shadowheart, who consistently rank as the most popular companions in the game.
