Current camp scene progression is a nightmare, and Gale suffers the most from it. His scenes seem to have the lowest priority in the queue, and if that wasn't bad enough, not only can you skip two important ones by having too high approval (and he approves of damn near everything if you're even marginally good-aligned), but you can lock yourself out of them without even realizing it. For some reason, Raphael's visit prevents the Weave and failed spell scenes from triggering altogether. So you have to avoid getting help from Nettie, Ethel, and Priestess Gut until you trigger them, which is a tough call when most players will be naturally drawn to Nettie after arriving to the grove.
It's not just romance that suffers from it too, it's characterization in general. One of the common criticisms of Gale is that his backstory is too colorful for a level 1 wizard. The failed spell scene addresses this concern, but a lot of people aren't going to see it because the way of triggering it is so opaque.
You really need a strategy guide just for resting with this game. We can only hope it's not some attempt to add variance for multiple playthroughs or anything equally ridiculous.
