I can’t box gale in.

In my first play through he left my party because I refused to give him powerful magical artifacts without him fully detailing his scary and ominous situation. Our party is a team and we need communicatinn on. He got angry and left,

In my current play through he’s a lot more tender, but still secretive st first.

My point is I do think he has some very selfish tendencies, in line with narcissism. But he does open up which real narcissists never do unless they are in a crisis.

In a nutshell, I appreciate that gale eventually opens up about the truth but I think his demands for your blind trust in a party sdettijg make him very self centered. He’s a great character but romantically I could never be into him, and in real life I’d not align with him in a life or death journey to save ourselves.
