Ok, guys. Taking all your advice into consideration. I became a super decent person today in my game. (I didn't like it, but I had to check) So I got my approval score with Gale way up.
And the quest about the magical artifacts became unlocked.
SO, in my case the thing that had to be done to unlock that dialogue path was: (I remind you I'm playing a true neutral character, so I'm not getting tons of positive approval very fast)
- High approval
- Killing off all the gobbo leaders.
...And now I'm wondering how to feed those magical items to Gale because I already know I have two of those in my inventory. If I investigate this further I'll report in.

And you know what? I like Gale and his quest but this how I feel right now analyzing what I have to do so the guy will trust me and tell me what I have to do so to stop him from exploding. Come on, magic man. I just want to save your ass.
