You don\u2019t need to bring Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Wyll as a companion to complete his story Larian StudiosAlongside the main Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 story, players can take the game\u2019s various companions on their own journeys of self-discovery, from saving (or ruining) Karlachs life to making a vital choice about Astarion\u2019s lust for power. However, not all companions have that much of a say in their quests. In fact, there\u2019s one key companion that can have their entire arc completed without even needing to leave the safety of the camp. Sure, Wyll has his hardships, and when he turns up in Act One, it\u2019s hard to not feel for the sacrifice he\u2019s made and the bonds he continues to be stuck in. It\u2019s even harder to not eventually realize his inability to forge his own destiny or make his own choices. It\u2019s such a key aspect of his personality that you can actually complete his entire character arc without even bringing him as a companion. For example, his first quest is to defeat Karlach. If you find her without Wyll in your party and recruit the Teifling, the confrontation will play out in your camp. Then, he turns into a devil, which has very few roleplay or mechanical repercussions. After this, he\u2019ll be looking to save his father, which (you guessed it) you can do without him leaving the comfort of his own tent. It\u2019s so prominent that the hardest decision for Wyll (ending his pact or saving his father) isn\u2019t even one made by the companion. It\u2019s up to you to decide his fate for him. While it\u2019s certainly an interesting way to frame a key character in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, some players on the game\u2019s Reddit claimed that it\u2019s simply \u201cwasted potential\u201d for what could have been a great character to explore with, especially in Act Three as it\u2019s his home city. Others joked that \u201cWyll is straight up a side character in his own quest\u201d proving just how far in the background the poor Warlock really is. Interestingly, some considered that \u201cit\u2019s probably due to the fact that he is the only companion who is directly woven into the main plot, and the main plot must go on even if he\u2019s dead\u201d whereas the likes of Shadowheart, Karlach, Gale, Astarion, and even Lae\u2019zel, all have \u2018out of story\u2019 problems that need solving. Sure, Wyll isn\u2019t exactly the most pivotal companion in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, but it\u2019s likely that the primary reason is his relationship with the main plotline. Nevertheless, there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t take him along on your journey, as Warlocks are still pretty powerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
