By the way, regarding the Gale patch. It's not that great now that I replayed that part.
There is still zero indication that practicing magic (AFTER he told you how much he loves Mystra the person the goddess) leads to a romantic scene of "Anticipation of a kiss" where your character just looks at Gale with deep loving gaze. The new line about "friendship" if you don't sever the weave right there basically just loops you back to severing the Weave result - both your character and Gale are VERY sad that they didn't get to have sex, no platonic dialogue or outcome was added, which is needed strongly.
