Bg3 Wyll - Blog Posts

it's astonishing to watch wyll get sidelined when he and shadowheart (and arguably lae'zel) are both integral to the story. his dad is a main plot point for fuck's sake.

i love larian but this is deeply disappointing.

NOT THE ATTACK LMAO

Wyll being the youngest of the guys is funny to me

OH HE'S SO PRETTY

The way I SCREAMED at that last one oh my gods Wyll I love you so much ;w;

* In conversation with Wyll about his plans once the Brain is defeated *

Tav: there’s more to your plans than you’re letting on, isn’t there?

Wyll: Yes, there is. I will be hunting Mizora.

Mizora, standing next to him: …

bg3 romance woes

just got the scene with talking to Gale under the night sky in act 2 (beautiful scenery btw) and GOD. HOW in the HELLS am I supposed to romance anyone BUT him now??!

On the other hand, I want to romance Astarion and as much as I CAN NOT for the life of me find it easy to reject Gale, hurting Astarion in any way, shape or form would immediately reduce me to a pathetic puddle of tears.

WHY can I not romance both of them UGGHHH this is torture.

not to mention the fact that I have the hots for like EVERY romancable AND unromancable npc in this GODDAMN game.

like Lae’zel (she’s so endearing for some reason what the hell??), KARLACH oh my GOD (Shadowheart knows what’s up, I NEED her to carry me and OMG she calls herself Mama K I CAN’T), Wyll ugggghh (he’s underrated and I WON’T stand for it) Shadowheart (fuck, god’s favorite emo princess I love her so muchhhh). That motherfucker HALSIN (what a HUNK of an elf they had NO RIGHT making him so glorious) even Minthara who I finally got in Act 2 now.

and when it comes to the UNROMANCABLE people. Don't even get me STARTED. Raphael you god damn majestic asshole. Haarlep (I’d feed him, that’s all I’ll say about the matter), Alfira (the REAL reason why I’ll never do a Durge playthrough, I CAN NOT ever lay a finger on her). Larkrissa (I love her and Alfira plus them TOGETHER so fucking much), ROLAN (stupid prickly wizard), Dammon (he’s just SO everything, don’t make me explain, I’ll go on and on for hours)

this game is a bisexual NIGHTMARE and on one hand I LIVE for it, on the other, I’d like to sue

Things Wyll says

Wyll with a wide smile and a warm look in his eye, greeting “Ah, there you are. I was hoping you'd make your way over. How are you, my friend?”

Wyll, holding the shabby wood doors open for you, bowing his head and politely offering, "After you, my friend."

Wyll with his gaze on the ground, shyly chuckling “You flatter me too much. I am not the gentleman I once was.”

Wyll hitting your enemy with an eldritch blast, shouting “Stay calm, I’m coming for you!”

Wyll cradling you against him as the healing potion takes effect, whispering into your hair, “Breath easy. It’s not your time. It’s not your time.”

Wyll tracing his thumb across your cheek bone, grinning “May I kiss you again?”

Wyll grasping your hand when it reaches for his horns, choking back “please…I don’t want to hurt you.”

Wyll crying when you assure him that he could never hurt you and plant light kisses on his forehead. 

Wyll whimpering slightly when you grip his horns, tilt his head back, and dive into a passionate kiss.

Wyll admitting "I don't know what awaits us in Baldur's Gate but whatever it is, know that I will always have your back."

Wyll sipping his wine with a smirk and a heat in his gaze, lightly teasing, "you find me devilishly handsome?"

Wyll wrapping his arm around your waist, his hold firm and steady, introducing you to his father, “Father this is the love of my life, y/n.”

Wyll with tears brimming his eyes as he kneels down on one knee before you, asking “My love, will you marry me?”

real men let their bros have a little squeeze

It's been a while since this meme came up and it took longer than expected (as always), but I just had to do it. X3

Unfortunately not all romanceable characters fit on it and I'm so sorry for Wyll, but Halsin just had to be included... for Yasha, obviously! êwê

But there are still a few ideas for a second menu page. X> (With all the possibilities that Larian denies us.) Thanks for this marvellous game! ♥ The Meme:

just look at this happy warlock! <3

Again with poor Wyll:

I was randomly reminded of this scene the other day and how you have the option of talking Wyll down from wanting to kill Mizora. It's framed as a good thing, like you're steering him away from a dark path of digging two graves, but is that really what this is? I think he has every right to want to kill her (monster hunter that he is), not just for himself, but to protect anyone else she'd take advantage of and hurt in the future. I understand that what this line is saying is us telling him that he might do more good in taking on enemies as needed rather than putting all this time into a single target, but if that's the case I don't like how it's phrased.

I get that Wyll is the most morally righteous of the companions, and being driven by revenge isn't exactly a good thing, but he has every right to want it. She forced him into a slavery contract, directly violated his bodily integrity at least twice, supported the death of the most important person in his life, and has been mentally tormenting him all the while.

Wyll is absolutely the type to fight out of love and the desire to protect rather than to hurt and avenge, yes. But I still think it's really condescending to tell him "revenge is bad", when (to my memory), we never tell Astarion that wanting revenge on Cazador is wrong. And Shadowheart taking out the Sharrans is seen as a grim and unfortunate but necessary public service. Even with Karlach, I think the most we say about her wanting end Gortash is "let's wait and be smart about this" (if you're planning to kill him at all, that is). Either this is another example of Wyll not getting the same treatment as other characters (and dare I say, being reductive of his trauma), or I'm just projecting. Maybe I'm misreading this whole thing — let me know.

But telling him to "let it go" is kind of wild no matter how you look at it.

(to be clear I don't think murder and revenge are "good" things. But killing devils seems to be framed as like killing a monster rather than a person, and even then, killing people is commonplace in this game. I'm just saying the morality should be consistent.)

Just a take on Wyll's transformation (spoilers)

Can we talk about how when Mizora turns Wyll into his devil-ish form as a punishment... it's like really messed up? I get that it could have been much worse, but she literally violated his body irrevocably. Not for the first time. I'd probably have a panic attack if my body suddenly changed like that. Not to mention that him now looking this way is kind of devastating to the heroic, evil-fighting image he wants to present. It's like Mizora saying smugly: "who will look at you and think you're a hero when you look like *this*?" Because she knows how deep that would cut for him.

I've talked about this before, but I wish Wyll was allowed to have more moments that show that he's hurting, and I wish that his reaction to the transformation had more emphasis. Honestly his interaction at the Tiefling party is kind of heartbreaking. He basically says "you go on and enjoy the party without me. I'd just bring everyone down". Just another example of him keeping his feelings neatly tucked away for the sake of others. Wyll is going through so much in act 1 but it's portrayed so subtly compared to other characters that I think people overlook it.

An exhaustive list of everything wrong with Wyll:

He likes clowns

Nothing else

He was mean to Astarion a few times but we can forgive him for that

What I wish happened in Wyll's storyline (bg3 spoilers)

I know a lot of people have already talked about how there was a lot of missed potential with Wyll, but I think that one thing would make his storyline a lot more engaging and compelling. Wyll is a pretty soft and emotional person, and though he definitely puts up a front (everyone does), I still wish we got to see him have some more raw emotional moments. Especially during his scene where he chooses between breaking his pact or not. If he chooses to essentially doom his father in order to break the pact, he gets upset, yes, but I wish it went further. It's clear that when you talk to him afterward he’s putting on a brave face in order to soldier on, but I really wish we got to see him have his breaking point like the other characters do. I want to see him scream at Mizora and cry over his father’s imminent death. I just wish we got to see more of that from him, because it felt like his emotional response was a bit underwhelming for the weight of the situation. Tell me if I'm wrong and missing some scenes or something (admittedly I haven’t romanced Wyll yet)
