Over-analysing can be fun! Though in case of the thing with Sorn, why does it ruin anything? You will only ever get this text option if you play someone who doesn't appreciate Gale much - or does not appreciate him much in this regard at least - so it is a shitty dialogue option gated behind shitty behaviour.
Gale's quest - especially on the romance path - is one I appreciate more and more over time because it offers nuance instead of a good and a bad solution: It has the extremes of ambition and divine forgiveness, a middle ground between and possible catastrophe on both the ends of the scale. Of course I don't know what lights the spark for others, but for me that dialogue cluster surrounding the Annals of Karsus has become one of my favourite parts of the game. It becomes better the more variations of it I play through and I love how it can shift in tone from preachy, to cautious, to caring, to being fully delighted and on board with the whole Crown business, drawing its tension from the dialogue alone instead of from dice roles.
