Moreover, Gale additionally appears to be a preferred romantic conquest for gamers, although he’s arising behind Shadowheart.

Although it’s unclear if some of us may be pursuing both of these paramours as a result of they had been rejected by Astarion, because the unambiguously evil vampire apparently has damaged the hearts of “nearly 100,000″ gamers since launch.
Whereas there’s love for the smug however charming wizard, it appears his spells have additionally resulted in a variety of gamers’ demise to date, with pleasant hearth from his assaults being the seventh-highest explanation for demise within the sport. Merely stroll across the hearth, y’all. It’s not arduous.
