Lady Avyna, you've ignored the things I've said repeatedly, and you've continued to paint me as though I'm holding a stance which I am not. I know that may not be your intention, but that's my perspective and how I feel right now.
I didn't ignore you. I know what you said but the example you gave was about Mystra and how he could possibly used you to get back with her. I didn't mention that back to you because that wouldn't be a big impact to the story.
This one, directly in response to a quote of my words you made, wherein I literally reference a proof event, in game, that is outside of Gale himself... (Gale says: "if this doesn't get fed, we all explode", and then he dies, and it doesn't get fed and he's not alive to make a deal for a solution... and then we all explode, and get a game over, just as promised. He's not lying about that - it actually happens, legitimately, in game.)
I haven't denied Gale his artifacts so if that happens when you don't then I stand corrected in that point.
There is no sense in me continuing with this if you are going to continue to act in this manner towards me. This will probably be my last attempt to communicate with you sensibly on this topic; if you'd rather not bother, I'll spoiler tag it, and you can feel vindicated if you'd like to and if it would make you happy.
What manner are you talking about? I'm not doing or saying anything bad to you. First of all, this isn't a debate. There is no need for "vindication" it's just a game. If anything, I'll say that you are too emotionally attached that you are now getting defensive to my responses and are assuming things about me.
Anyone who treated these characters with suspicion and claimed that there was something sus about them, and that they were suspicious and leery of them... and then said that their suspicion was on the grounds that it was possible that the above was actually the case, would get raised eyebrows and not taken very seriously. Most would assume they were joking, and ask what the real reason for their suspicion was. This is because most sensible people understand that "It's Possible", if it can be used to justify a particular case for suspicion against someone, can equally be used to justify any amount of suspicion about any one and everyone over anything and everything.
You're treating this like a court case. Relax, it's just a game. It's okay to theorize about characters just like people do when watching a show. You don't have to get all technical about it.
So, if you want to say that you are suspicious of Gale, and you think something is off about him... and your reasoning is that "It's possible that he's lying to us about everything", then as above, I'm going to raise my eyebrow at you, and not take you very seriously... because that's a pink elephant dream case. I'm going to think you're joking, and I'm going to say to you "Yes but literally everyone could be lying about virtually everything, that's a permanent given, and you're not equally suspicious of everyone all the time - you singled out this individual..." And then I'm going to ask you, "So seriously, what's your real reason for feeling suspicious of him?" And the funny thing is, it could be as simple as "I'm just naturally suspicious of that 'type' of person"... and that'd be fine! It'd be a genuine legitimate explanation... Again, sorry if this seems harsh or snarky, I'm too tired.
Are you assuming that I'm not suspicious of other companions because I happened to questioned Gale? I can do the same for the others. You claim that if I just had a natural suspicion of Gale you would be fine because you would consider that a genuine explanation. Well, it's obvious you are not because you have made a big deal about people not trusting Gale, especially me, a natural suspicion from what is going on in the story. We can give you our theories based on things we experience in the game but you get upset because it's not how YOU see it. That's not how it's works. It makes me feel like you are too emotionally attached to the character of Gale that you don't want to accept any negative theories regarding him.
