I would for more examples because I don't understand what you mean. Gale is last minute addition to the early access so I imagine they didn't have much time to actually put their concepts of him into practice. I'll also add that the gale mechanics as they are now are super lame. But you know... Early access.
Yeah I mean given how important his condition is, you would assume he would make it HIS priority to get artifacts and thus either Artifacts in his inventory should dissapear, or he should leave you after a while if you don't deliver, I mean this is to him critical!!
I'm also willing to put this down to EA, but as neat as the idea could be, it definitely needs work if he is to be a companion. The concept might work better as the main character (i.e. if you pick him as an origin character), but other than the potential interesting concept, I feel it should come with some form of reward, because it's really debillitating to have to lose your magical artifacts with no reward other than not dying. Not sure I would want to hamper myself that way other than out of intruige.
