No, he's quite stupid. In the original and BG2 he has an Int of 8. He's also way, way overdone in those games. Frankly, BG3 did a lot to justify Minsc as a character. I never had him in my party during BG 1 and 2
At first I didn't think I'd like him bc he's too forward and then I realized that's kinda who I am but I'm not a powerful wizard who bed a literal goddess.

@@deepseasnailfishbut like, he does say that our adventuring situation is not ideal for family life AND he has a bomb in his chest, so I don’t blame him for saying he’s not father material BUT he doesn’t say he doesn’t ever want to be a father… Forgive this random online person ranting about a fictional character
You missed the best part after reviving Astrion. If you say that the tadpole was supposed to make sunlight non harmful to him, he answers "Well, apparently there's a limit. Somewhere between a nice summer day and THE CONCENTRATED POWER OF THE SUN!!!"
i know it's all fake for Astarion, he does it to hide his true self, when i'm 100% sure that Gale doesn't even realize how goofy he is and that makes him the funniest guy of the team
At 6:52 when you fell and then all your companions fell in a little row, i died. imagine you walk behind your friend, watch her fall over, then do the exact same thing with your other friends
Another great Minsc and Astarion moment: If you take astarion and Minsc near the garden south Lady Jannath's Estate, north of the steel watch foundry, astarion will yell at minsc out for talking to boo because he doesnt believe that Boo actually talks to Minsc. And Minsc replies something like "Well, Astarion. Boo is of good breeding, and so only speaks when he has something nice to say. Perhaps this is why he has never seen fit to speak to you." and Astarion goes "How delightfully vicious! I'm beginning to like the hamster..." I love this moment its so funny.
Gale is truly endgame to me. He has such a wet dog energy sometimes, like how can you be so charming and handsome - but also lowkey sad at the same time 😭 like so dramatic and fast to pour out his emotions, such a nerd and simp as well, yet so innocent and classic about love. Everyone dunking on him is just the cherry on top. I love this "coming on too strong, too fast" energy honestly. Such a well-written character like most of them.
4:59 "Now shall we go? Or do you have any other chaos you need to unleash here?" - Skips to next clip where a whole freaking building goes up in explosions. xD Good timing right there.
@@vitaminademorangoisn’t it though? I started making a list of all their creepy lines. My favorites are “pave my path with corpses, build my castle with bones”, “intestines throb, blood whispers” and “they should all be running”
Anything Minsc says is just so adorable and hilarious I just can't. When you first meet Boo you can say "it's a honor" and Minsc will reply :No - it's a hamster" like come on
Omg I missed Minsc on my first playthrough because Jaheira had died at Moonrise but now I am going to do everything in my might to keep her alive so that I can recruit the both of them
Yeah, he really is haha. On my second playthrough I got him as early as possible and took him almost everywhere to see what he says. If you take him along for the final battle he can even give a speech in front of all the allies! Definitely a fun guy to have around.
Omg Gale's comment about the Owlbear never leaving your side because you fed it and 'the hand that feeds is the hand that loves' 😂 Like, yeah, we've been feeding you magical items, I get it. Just fully projecting.
Dumb moment me and my friend had in the phase spider cave. We sent Astarion out on his own to sneak around the spider matriarch and we had several 'oh no he's fucked' moments. He managed to get back with the gem and we avoided the fight entirely. We spent the entire time humming the mission impossible theme.
Mental note - make a valiant effort to keep Jaheira alive so I can eventually recruit Minsc. Edit: Minsc is 100% worth saving. Haven't laughed so hard in ages! (thank you Larian and Matt Mercer!) XD
@@elenalizabethwait lmao does he choose the highest approval companion out of jealousy? That’s hilarious considering he said shadowheart on my first durge playthrough and I was still deciding who to romance between the two of them (I picked him in the end though) 😂
@@statementofjoespooky1660 yeah I didn’t realise until my 2nd playthrough that he chooses “who maybe could be killed” out of jealousy. Like he tries to act like he isn’t really into Tav/Durge and just “having fun”, but really he is down bad really fast, even if he won’t admit it (or maybe just too scared to lose someone he loves so he pretends he doesn’t love them). Because I played things so different the 2nd game - like getting Shart out of the pod on the ship boosted her approval much quicker, etc I have a high approval with Shart but only medium with Gale (which is kinda amazing because in my 1st game he approves of everything, so I’m having to be a pretty big asshole in the 2nd game to not have him approving haha).
Allright I gotta know, if you tell Astarion you rather kiss a leech will that lock you out of the romance or can you continue to playfully insult each other because I'm all for it if so.
Tav : "Gale, how about added another person into our relationship> Gale : "What? like a child? I neve---- Tav : *sweating like waterfall think how to tell him its local DILF in your area*
I remember being near the Sussur tree in the Underdark and if you interact with the Sussur bloom as a magic user and Gale speaks to you, you can make a comment about something with ducks and Gale's only response is "Quack."
It's in Act 1, you have to get the Book of Thay and the pearl to open it and you have to give it to Astarion to read. It's a special book, if a companion reads it, you can't give it to another companion
Matt Mercer. And in BG1-2 he was voice by someone else but similarly. Same with Jaheira, different voice actor but they did a good job imitating the original
"ASTARION! FISH! ASTARION!"
Fun fact: Astarion's VA now voices a fish in another game. Yes there's been edits and art about this. It's hilarious.
Use your words 😂

The fact that gale just automatically assumes you’re wanting to start a family with him is reason 1278 I love him.

@TheEstafista you dont get the comedy behind felling monstrous foes with a hamster?
“No! I won’t kill them!!!”

Your Tav racing towards Gale to see if he approves of a Halsin throuple had me cracking up.
6:24 Halsin is that one friend that rarely claps back but when he does, you remember why you stopped teasing him previously 😅
DANG SHART NEEDS SOME ICE ON THAT BURN
"How did Lord Gortash die??"
"Um... it involved a hamster."
"Let's not speak of this."
a miniature giant space hamster
Last time my friend and I reached him, he was literally stunned or paralyzed the entire fight.
i love that astarion uses gentle parenting on Minsc and Karlach, the two beautiful dummies of the team. lmao
Astarion tends be incredibly sassy, but still tries to be nice to the local golden retrievers 😂❤ gotta love them all
@@vitaminademorango astarion can be nice when he wants to be. the problem is that he almost never wants to be lol
@@Shenanakins THIS LMAOOOO
But when he chooses to, it's so goddamn precious 😭😭❤
@@vitaminademorango the most precious! it just means so much more coming from him knowing that he has to actively try to be nice because he likes you.
@@Shenanakins EXACTLY!!! It's so genuine and true, it's almost innocent in a way...
Also I know astarion gets all the love but you have to admit that Gale is unintentionally hilarious and their dynamic is amazing
I always get the vibe their "rivalry" is more them fighting over the title of "snarky friend" rather than actual dislike.
i know it's all fake for Astarion, he does it to hide his true self, when i'm 100% sure that Gale doesn't even realize how goofy he is and that makes him the funniest guy of the team
Gale's "What, like a child?" comment always reminds me of that vine that says "What's worse than a r3pist? A child! No!"
Crying
Only replying so you can come back to this masterpiece of a comment
At 6:52 when you fell and then all your companions fell in a little row, i died. imagine you walk behind your friend, watch her fall over, then do the exact same thing with your other friends
They just thought she was clumsy.
I had the exact same happen in my first playthrough too. I almost died from how hard I laughed
"If your friends tripped over the slot of a gate, would you?"
Astarion and Minsc is now officially my favorite duo lmfao I'm dying 🤣
9:36 gale's pain cry is so funny because of just how often he manages to dodge the first arrow but not the second arrow of an attack. "Ha-haa! AUUGH"

OMG THAT'S GOLDEN LMAOOO
Thanks for pointing out! I'll remember this when playing 😂😂
The way he bounces right back up. God I love him
9:36 reminds me of sitting everyone but Gale on a bench, clicking on Gale, and him saying 'no rest for the wicked, it seems'.
that little "Ah... Hello." after Astarion closes the book has me in tears
11:23 I cannot get over how STOKED Minsc is.
He just wants to help 😂
Gale: "The hand that feeds is the hand that's loved. It'll never leave your side from now on."
The cub: Aw hell no!
Gale:"I stand corrected."
I prefer that scene with Karlach - she's so adorable and squeaky, and obviously that scares away the cub lol

Wet dog energy nailed it.
Like a smart and proud golden retriever who loves you
the "wyll with a y" moment was some premium "who's on first" shit and i love it
Fully lost it at the thought of Boo and Astarion hanging out at camp omg
16:33 I like how the game references the bizarre combinations of camp supplies you can use
I felt so called out
I swear Shadowheart is always trying to start something. Someone can breathe, and she's got some sassy comment lined up.
Halsin shut her up 😂😂
Maybe it comes from her Sharran upbringing?
7:15 Worst part is, that isn't even normal for easy, that's just disgustingly insane
Astarion and Minsc are so adorable and get along weirdly well. Minsc does that to people, I guess.
Astarion also has great chemistry with Karlach. It's like deep down, he's kinda sweet with overly honest people. He'd make a fine company for autists.
Snorted my coffee out at the zoom in on Gale's reaction to Wyll offering to cook
15:23 Shadowheart getting yeeted off screen has some good comedic framing lol 😂
YOINK
5:06 Wyll has the best spell line deliveries
I am so confused. He sets things on fire. This is all I'm seeing here. What am I missing? TAT
Hear the whistle at the end? @@Martha-Novalin-
All these actors and game writers have managed to pull some heavy laughs from me frequently. 😂 I feel so thankful for this game.
How did Orin, the notorious killer and dangerous child of Bhaal die? She was bit by a hamster…😂
It’s insane that Matt Mercer voices Minsc
9:35 “Lovely day this. Now- HOOOAAAHH!!!”
Shart saying that she can make animal noises to soothe/comfort Halsin, just *chef's kiss*
I can’t tell if she was being genuine

Minsc is gold. He was one of the must-have characters from the first 2 games and I was so excited to see him brought back!
Don't forget about Boo! Best duo we could ever ask for
Nobody ever clips Wyll, I had no idea he was so funny I’m cackling
Thats cuz no one has him in their party XD
Cause people never have him in their party (and then complain he’s boring). He has a lot to him in fact

Imagine if there was actually an achiviement the major bosses of act 3 with Boo.
Hilarious!
One of the funniest but also insulting things is when a companion is down to 1 health, so you tell them to stay at camp, and they get upset at you.
70% of this is astarion, just as it should be
He snuck his way in before I even noticed.
@@cyanoic1161 he was given half the game's humour so I completely believe this

If you talk to her and ask her to travel with you before the fight, you can keep her out of the way
I don't even know minsc was so funny XD... Need to give him a chance :)

When Wyll mentions the forked tongue man... And the spikes I went oh??? Wyll my Tav is a Tiefling. I only see this as a win 😉
Astarion’s reaction to the gnome with the bomb is the funniest version, imo 😂
Astarion and Minsc are the personification of a cat and a dog friendship
Astarion and Minsc conversations are the best thing that has ever happened lmfao

All hail Boo, destroyer of worlds.
God, this is a great compilation. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard! Thank you! 🤣

I wonder how he picks who he would "maybe kill" in the thay book dialogue. Cause its always been Wyll for me 😭😭
Really!? And here I thought it was just another typical dunk on Gale. 😂I wonder if it's (high) approval related then.
I've heard it's whoever has the second highest approval rating of you (or possibly the next person down in approval from whatever his is)
I got Shadowheart who has the highest approval for me
Yeah it’s whoever has the highest approval with Tav/Durge, so my first run was Gale, second run was Shadowheart
Matt mercer absolutely nailed it as minsc
I remember being near the Sussur tree in the Underdark and if you interact with the Sussur bloom as a magic user and Gale speaks to you, you can make a comment about something with ducks and Gale's only response is "Quack."
I just love the MC's face whenever it comes to Astarion or awkward situation 🤨
I don't know, how many villains I have seen killed by Boo - he is truely a little cute menace
1:10 567 hours, 1/3 of it in EA, and I NEVER thought to try this.
