Y'all asked for an explanation of how this glitch works, so that's what you get. Who knew that getting an uninterrupted night's sleep could send you back in time? Of course, thanks to ‪@ProxyGateTactician‬ for discovering this glitch and making the original video that brought it to everyone's attention.

If you somehow missed Proxy's slayer video, you should check it out: https://youtu.be/GLtIitBtb48

My friend who deeply dislikes Gale due to one of those bugs where he gets in romanced state unintentionally will be terrified to hear that there are 4 naked invisible Gales in every camp

"The crown" 🙂😐

Absolutely incredibe learning 4 naked Gales are actually always with us thank you so much

I'd love to see a mod that replaces all of Gales dialogue with random "The Crown" "The Weave" "Mystra" voice lines, all with awkward 5 seconds of silence following it before your options to respond show up.

Ur a legend SlimX! Thanks for showing all this off and explaining it for us. Larian randomly patching that to make it no longer a softlock after so many years is also so random, and makes it so much more interesting too.

I always suspected I was secretly a naked bald guy

Galetidaephobia: the fear, that somehow, 4 naked gales are always watching

@reposedreticence7108 6 months ago

Are the four naked Gales in the camp with us right now?

SlimX: Yes, they're just off-stage.

Fascinating stuff, thanks for thoroughly exploring and explaining it all!

Anti-gravity teleporting boat was NOT on my bingo card for this video

Baldur's Gate 3 code analysis is so cathartic to me. I could watch you deconstruct and explain the workings behind the most mundane aspects of this game without end. Wish I could support more, keep it up :)

"How can you find 4 naked Gaels?"
SlimX: "To answer that, we need to talk about parallel universes"

I never get tired of all the smoke and mirrors tricks that go on behind the scenes, especially with the on/off stage stuff. This wound up being a way deeper dive than I was expecting, amazing work! Next nerd stream when btw? :D

5:55 You can’t just "with that out of the way" the four ever-present naked Gales, dude. I need to process this first.

Four naked Gales in my camp is exactly three gales more than strictly necessary. I mean four, of course. Ahem.

10:47 I assume he's a global character because they originally planned his, Isobel's and Nightsong's story to allow Ketheric to join your party for Act 3; just leftover code from removing that plotline.
