Gale, You Know What To Do

Image via Reddit

At the beginning of Act 2, Elminster shows up with a message for Gale from the Goddess of Magic, Mystra. Whether you agree to do Mystra's final quest for Gale or not, it's a pretty extreme way of getting a goddess to forgive you, regardless of your crimes. Whether Gale will learn anything from his mistakes or not remains to be seen.

I've Got One Of Those Brain Things Cornered

Meeting Astarion for the first time is quite an event; he not only lies to you, but threatens to slit your throat until he realizes you're not a thrall. Not a great start to a relationship, but I'm sure things can't get any worse. Right? Right.

The Mark Glows

Every time you come across someone marked with the Brand of the Absolute, you get this amazing feeling of Authority. Knowing that you will be able to control that person and have them do whatever you want is enough to give anyone goosebumps.

Shadowheart Knows Who She Is

There are a slew of memes out there that are just tweets overtop of BG3 characters, but this one is a personal favorite. It was so popular, in fact, the voice actress for Shadowheart read it out loud on X for all her fans to hear. 10/10, no notes.

Save Scumming For Approval

It doesn't matter how much progress I'll lose by loading the last save, we're not doing this without full backing from everyone's favorite Tiefling. She's probably the purest companion to have in your party if your moral compass needs something to point at.

Shadowheart Disapproves

There is something incredibly sinister about the original screengrab of this extreme angle of Shadowheart's mean face, and it's made all the better by some of the memes that have been made from it. It's what I picture every time "Shadowheart disapproves" appears on the screen.

Astareon Eevee-lution

For those out of the loop, Eevee from the long-beloved Pokémon franchise evolves into a myriad of different forms, all of whom have names ending with -eon. Astarion, of course, very nearly shares this quality with them, hence this artist's rendering of him as a full-fledged Eevee-lution.

My Dudes

"Istik" is the Githyanki word for "outsider," or basically anyone who isn't a Githyanki. These lizard-like people are not of this plane, but they do kind of resemble the frogs of our world. Especially on Wednesdays, my dudes.

Best Girlfoe

Another Baldur's Gate 3 companion as a Tumblr post. There are a ton of these, and every single one of them is funny. Lae'zel is everyone's favorite girlfoe thanks to her gruff demeanor and secret heart of gold.

What's The Worst That Could Happen?

Astarion is the companion that gives the most Lucille Bluth energy by far.
