I think it’s interesting that you get to see all three chosen’s living spaces and like for all their bravado they live empty, pathetic lives and the game goes out of it’s way to instill the idea that they’re all desperate to please their gods in ways that are dark mirrors, or at least narratively parallel to our companions. We are a hair away from being our dark other, brother

Except for karlach.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #the dead three #spoilers #I think the only chosen who deviates is Kethric and even then you could argue that he could be a foil to Halsin or minthara #Orin and durge is obvious but Orin and shadowheart and lae’zel also have parallels #wyll and gortash are 1:1 on leaning so hard on fairy tale cliches and subversions that it almost makes your head spin #astarion is self aware that his entire life is being controlled by a god like figure and the chosen are simply Oblivious #Gale and gortash meet your desperation for love dressed up as a god complex #karlach and her loyalty that inevitably bites her in the ass ala Orin #Jaheira and minsc are just here #Orin the red #Enver gortash #Kethric thorm #karlach has … other issues I’m surprised no one has addressed yet #wonderful personality! completely shafted by plunging into a revenge plotline with very little gratification or leeway in choice
