And KR I do want to speak up and throw iny two cents about your bomb opinions. I'm with Niara on that point, I'd go to New York too since to me it seems obvious that I'd find an expert who would be able to help me there. Granted I'm not an expert on bombs alike gale is on magic, so Gale probably has a better idea of just how likely or not actually finding an expert who can help him is. You say it's about Gale facing facts, but his condition isn't cut and dried. There's still a decent chance of finding a solution that let's everyone live.
Also it's worth pointing out, our character is doing the exact same thing, every companion is. We have tadpoles in our brain that will turn us into a deadly, mind-controling abomination and we're trying to find a cure rather than just killing ourselves on the spot. Gale at least knows a definite way he can keep from exploding. Initially we all believe that we have a hard limit of 7 days. Being out in the wilds doesn't even help in our case since if we transform the mindflayers we become are perfectly capable of finding their way to the underdark and going about their wicked work.
Thanks for the kind words.
On NYC
Whaaaaat?! You would take a nuke into a city of 8 million people? Not a good decision imo
And I do think the mindflayer issue is mentioned in the game. My toon tells Nettie that she will kill herself if she thinks the transformation is going to happen.
