100% agree. Before I read this article, I never had a hint that I was supposed to see him as "annoying". Where exactly? When he supports you on pretty much each rational decision? Or when he is ready to leave, just not to put anyone in danger? Gale is by far the most emphatic, friendly and responsible member of the group. All that noise is just for asking three +1 daggers from common(!) loot? Are they serious? Seems like whoever wrote the article was very determined to label him that. As for "boring" - OMG, are you damn serious? His humor is by far the best in a game, and it is not arrogant or performative, more than can be said of other characters. When he says something hilarious, he is perfectly sincere, which makes it even more hilarious. They created such an amazing, complex and relatable character. Writing, voice acting, appearance, movement - everything is just perfect. What is the point of diminishing all this effort?
