Gale is an obvious good companion. He always stands up for the innocent, he always favors negotiation over violence, he always feels guilt for doing something bad. Oh, wait, if you hate BG3 - you can ignore this and say that there are no good companions. I mean, Wyll is evil right? He helps innocents just to get paid!! Surely his bravado completely negates all of his deeds. I mean, a devil pact?! Must be bad full stop.
No. Both Gale and Wyll are clearly neutral and definitely not good-aligned. Their character backgorunds are clearly neutral as good-aligned characters would not have done what they both have done. Furthermore, Larian themselves have stated the companions introduced thus intentionally did NOT include any good-aligned companions. Neutral characters can support "good" actions, just as they will also be okay with "evil" actions, so long as they can justify those actions either way. That's the whole point of being neutral.
Also, keep your passive-aggressive bs to yourself.
The difference between a neutral and a good character is in their motivation. Neutral character cares more about themselves while good characters care about the others. Gale puts the safety of others above his personal desires, as he states he'd better blow up in solitude rather than threaten the lives of others. Alignments can shift with time. By your logic, you shitting on BG3 here once or twice makes you neutral in alignment for all the years to come, no matter what good and useful deeds you do in the future. Let's count Gale's actions we can actually witness during the story.
Good things:
- Stands up for Arabella situation (no personal motivation)
- Stands up for negotiation over violence in the grove with Zevlor/Aradin (no personal need)
- Stands up for negotiation over violence if you try to fight Kagha immediately
- Feels happy with saving Mirkon from the harpies
- Leaves the party if you side with goblins
- Approves of helping Ethel with the "bullies" (no personal motivation, count in the fact we don't know her true nature by that moment)
- Approves of helping Mayrina even if it means a lot of trouble with the hag
- Approves of killing Minthata as she threatens to butcher the whole grove and so on
Bad things:
- Signs with Rafael if you ignore his plight for artifacts and he is threatened to blow up and kill a lot of innocents
This is 1000% a neutral good behavior. Should I put out the same list for Wyll? Also, keep your advice to yourself, I'll figure out how to write my posts without your assistance.
