In Baldur’s Gate 3 a charming companion will leave you if you’re not careful and send you a farewell letter that can bring a few tears. MeinMMO reveals who it is and what the story is about.

Which companion is it about? It is about Gale. In Baldur’s Gate 3 there are a number of companions that you can add to your group – one of them is Gale.
Who is Gale? He is a human wizard and a prodigy. Gale aims to be the greatest wizard of all time. While pursuing his goal, he shines with his vast knowledge and charming, empathetic nature.
However, due to his insatiable thirst for magic, some players have already lost their lives. Within his chest is a sphere of annihilation that could explode at any moment if he does not regularly consume magical items.
Such a powerful fireball can also cause enormous damage to your own group, so be careful and watch for things like oil barrels. According to Larian Studios, Gale is one of the most common reasons why many players die.
Gale leaves the group and leaves a sad farewell letter
What happened? The user Mookie_Merkk on Reddit recently discovered a sad farewell letter from Gale in Act 3. The charming wizard left the group after the player actively ignored him and stopped talking to him.
“Since you refuse to grant me a moment of conversation, I have no choice but to commit these words to ink and paper.
Our journey so far has truly been magical, but I regret to say that you must continue it without me. The increasing instability of my condition leaves me no choice but to leave our party. Or rather – none that I could make in good conscience, as I am aware of the immediate danger that my further presence poses to everyone around me.
I will travel alone, hoping that an unforeseen remedy will be found. If that is not the case, I will console myself with the knowledge that I put no one but myself in danger.
May this story not judge me unfavorably. This is the only way for me to make things right.”
How could this happen? Presumably, the player took Gale into his camp, but did not speak to him regularly and ultimately ignored him. Another theory could be that the player did not pursue Gale’s quest, which leads you to encounter Elminster. Now Gale wants to search for a remedy on his own.
Gale must repeatedly consume magical items. However, during his questline (when you encounter Elminster), you can fix it so that he no longer needs to consume magical food regularly. Instead, you will then receive a button on the hotbar that allows you to decide at any time to blow him up.
But these are all just speculations. What decisions really led to this, the player does not reveal in his Reddit post.
