regarding Gale's relationship with a god

Anyone else get Sammanster vibes from that? wizard with promise, is granted chosen status, completely fucks it up to the point she draws away, and thus he goes and does something stupid to try and gain ehr notice again?
That said, I'm not sure I liked the idea of Gale being a (presumably former) chosen of Mystra, suprising that WOTC allowed that TBH
