@@elenalizabeth Nah, a cat can have wings and still be a cat. A cat can have wings, horns, and scales and still be a cat. (Toothless the dragon: totally a cat.) But even a normal furry creature with all the normal cat things and nothing extra isn’t 100% a cat unless it knows how to compel petting, refuse to believe its food dish is full unless it’s just right, and step on the humans’ bladder.
@elenalizabeth I have a black cat who is the spitting image of toothless..got the eyes and the hidden fangs an everything xD toothless is definitely a cat
I think it’s more he’s the pet and she’s the indulgent caretaker letting him go on his silly adventures as long as he offers up tribute. Y’know, like every other cat that has ever existed.
There’s a clip out there where an asshole PC KILLS Tara and gale’s scream haunts me!! Even on TH-cam I cannot imagine hurting magical flying kitty. Tara is the best thing about this or any game
Omg aww I remember a line where Gale mentions he first summoned Tara when he was a boy and his parents would let him get a pet. Makes sense how Tara is so protective and nurturing of Gale like a mama or an auntie. She's been his friend since he was a little boy. 😭
I love how the sarcastic reply gets "Not until I've had MY DUE...." as if she's referencing a blood pact or something and then it's just scritches behind the ears. Absolutely perfect old lady cat behaviour
My favorite part of my Gale playthrough. Was so pleasantly shocked to see her there. Also hilarious how she reacts to other people trying to talk to her
I love her. She is what cat lovers know cats to be. They are such loving beasties. I'd sacrifice the world for her. She is the truest friend, the most supportive companion, and the most loving family member. I'd feed her all the fish, pigeons, and whatever else she likes. I bet she is the softest, fluffiest lady.
Oh I love her so much! The wy she keeps fussing over him, worrying, nagging a little, I laughted at her 'stoping around in the background' line :D Wht a precious girl!
@@duobrown yes and I have no regrets or shame cuz unlike cats. Tressyms have dark vision 🤣 mine is a boy though and doesn't talk and is based mostly off my own cat Lol
So playing Gale’s Origin is the only way to get Tara to join your camp? On one hand it’s nice to have additional/alternate/content for future runs. But this cat lady is too cute to not be a permanent addition to everyone’s camp
I like to think Gale can’t *actually* understand Tara like he has a permanent speak with animals thing going on, he’s just so good at understanding her body language and expression from their bond he knows what she’s meaning to say.
Tara sounds like auntie Ethel, probably just the same voice actor but I won't lie my cantrip finger twitched a bit when I heard that voice. I love that cat though.
I’m about to finish my third play through but non of it was with one of the origin characters. Just tav and dark urge. Gale looks interesting to start tho
I always thought the "arcane hunger" was a simple way to explain the orb and the need to consume magic items, because it operated more like sickness temporarily quelled by medicine (especially since the "medicine" stopped working at one point.) But if Tara was the first to bring back magic items for Gale, it makes sense she would call it "food" because that's what cats do to their owners- I mean butlers. They bring toys and sometimes dead animals back to provide for their useless human friend. Tara calls it hunger, because for a cat- I mean majestic tressym, what else would it be? In any case, we all call it hunger because Tara calls it hunger.
if you romance someone playing gale origin, does she interact with your intended? does she have opinions on other companions, period? and them on her? i must know. (also i must start a new playthrough immediately)
It's a literary device to help you slip into the role of the character more by you giving a mental voice to them with the dialogue options. In theory... ...It also saves so much time and money in the recording booth.
@@sintanan469 good thing you said in theory because that shit has never worked in practice, so many games do it and it always feels unnatural like one sided 'conversations', it's too uncanny to not hear one half of the dialog it takes you out rather than immerse you. i've been way more immersed in games where you didnt play a self insert just because they actually talked and felt real. and it's one thing DA:inquisition did really well, giving you avatar voice lines. so yeah they say that but i KNOW it's all about budget, everytime, i'm not mad at it because BG3 is so full of content and we cant demand everything, but still, i wish they voiced the cutscenes at least, they already took the time to voice every dang NPCs
Is the good personality. Bruce has a monster inside of him hes scared it could kill millions, yet instead of hiding out off the grid he thinks he can control it and willingly endangers everyone. The hulk kniws better but has a child like mind and cannot communicate well. So what we get is “Leave Hulk aline!”
Proof that she’s not 100% cat: She didn’t announce herself to Gale by stepping on his bladder
The… uhhh… wings… weren’t the giveaway that she is not totally “cat” (or are D&D cats just special?)

Damn it I want a scaley or flying cat 😭
@@elenalizabeth There's also a book called 'Catwings' from like the early 90s and it is extremely adorable
@elenalizabeth I have a black cat who is the spitting image of toothless..got the eyes and the hidden fangs an everything xD toothless is definitely a cat
The fact that he compares Tav to Tara is the highest compliment ever
Petition to make Tara a new origins character
Do you think that would be... purrrrfect?
+2d8 damage to beholders and pigeons
+10 to sassiness
Signing!!

Signed.
She's less his pet and more his doting auntie or grandmother 🥰 I love it
Which is a very old cat kind of attidude
I think it’s more he’s the pet and she’s the indulgent caretaker letting him go on his silly adventures as long as he offers up tribute.
Y’know, like every other cat that has ever existed.
@@gilwhite5237She does call him her pet.
That's funny, because she's voiced by the same actress who voiced Auntie Ethel.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god she’s so sweet I adore her. No WONDER Gale is so protective of her I would DIE for her.
I d murder the entire Sword Coast for her
There’s a clip out there where an asshole PC KILLS Tara and gale’s scream haunts me!! Even on TH-cam I cannot imagine hurting magical flying kitty. Tara is the best thing about this or any game
I can’t help feeling that your reaction is somewhat over the top. However I appreciate the devotion. Yours most sincerely, Tara.

SHE CALLS IT TUMMY TROUBLES!!!!! I love Tara so much
"I dont take orders from my masseuse".
That is the most cat thing to say, ever.
I love how the sarcastic reply gets "Not until I've had MY DUE...." as if she's referencing a blood pact or something and then it's just scritches behind the ears. Absolutely perfect old lady cat behaviour
What I adore about Gale is that when your Tav talks to him and you romanced him he will totally slow blink at you. He's just too sweet 🥰
Man is taking cat person so literally 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜
"I don't take orders from my masseuse" I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP, I neeeed a BG3 show for more Tara+Gale content :')
So you're saying I need to do a Gale origin run so I can pet Tara, got it 😂👍
Excuse you, she's a friend not a pet.
Pet as in stroke her fur. She rather seems to demand it herself.@@ChaosDraguss
Omg. Before she helps you, Gale has to pet her? I love this.
when she says "days??" she looks so sad and scared... she might be an auntie at heart but she is baby
*on the verge of crying, thinking about death and destruction*
-OH KITTY :DDD
accurate to anyone who has a cat tbh
+
Tara is such a mom, I love her.
Tara is the real hero of Baldur’s Gate 3.
I’m far too modest to agree, but you’re right of course.
I love when Gale says "Actualy there is someone..." Tara just want to gossip like good aunt or friend
She wants that tea
Oh my lore, this character is a GEM!!! Burn the world down if anything happens to her!
She must be protected at all costs
she's just a little old lady 🥺💜
Gale has two moms: a human one, and a tressym one.
My favorite part of my Gale playthrough. Was so pleasantly shocked to see her there. Also hilarious how she reacts to other people trying to talk to her
God, I ADORE the way she switches from "master Dekarios" to "Gale" in 8:28. A simple but such a good trick to show her confusion and worry for him 😭❤
Mister Dekarios. I get the sense Tara calls no one "master."
@@johncampbell631 Oh, yes, you're right! Must've been an accidental typo, glad you've noticed. That's also a great detail :)

"pardon my language" *expects some foul shit * " belly - up" Oh :0
The fact that she says "And for the love of god, a shave," implies a beardless Gale...
Such a thing shall never exist in this realm
I would die for Tara.
I would kill for Tara.
I would make a video for Tara
As you should loyal citizen of the Imperium.
1:41 first thing he does when he realises Tara is with him is smile, true cat owner
I love Tara, but girl that beard is not going anywhere!!
I can't imagine a wizard without a beard.
That part was surprising. Gale used to be clean-shaven? He would look about 16 without the beard.
Lord I hate the silent protag...it would have been so fun to hear Gale's banter
Same
She really said Gale’s design in beta is better than launch Gale
this cat is such a mom friend. i love her
YOU CAN PET THE CAT AND SHE PURRS AAAAAH
If only you can adopt the kitty that calls you mama
I WISH! I came across it yesterday, I want to adopt her T_T @@falconeshield
Gale hanging with Tara is winning me over. 😂 Love a man who loves cats sincerely.❤
"How the tidy have fallen" 😂
Oh I love her so much! The wy she keeps fussing over him, worrying, nagging a little, I laughted at her 'stoping around in the background' line :D Wht a precious girl!
Forget Astarion, Tara is the new fan favourite
I do love how she wakes you up just as you're about to sleep. My friend has a cat who likes to do that as well sometimes
and so shamelessly too 😂 that "YOOHOO~ MISTER DEKARIOSSSS~" immediately won me over.
gale i love your cat mother so much
She has the most unconditional love omg
She's definitely got the calico attitude. Lol. I love her.
I WANT HER AS A FAMILIARRRRRRRR!!
Her reaction as soon as you say “there’s someone” 😂
10:22 Whoever made this voice acting deserves a raise
Her purring 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm amazed nobody modded her as a "Find Familiar" yet.
Tara is freaking savage. I love her.
protect this Tressym at all cost
She is legit one of my most favourite characters in this game. Her VA really did an amazing job
Absolutely love that you can’t simply walk away from her 😂 the sass
Not me giving a new DnD character that is a Wizard a pet Tressym all cuz of Tara... 😂
So what you're saying is... you're a copy... cat
@@duobrown yes and I have no regrets or shame cuz unlike cats. Tressyms have dark vision 🤣 mine is a boy though and doesn't talk and is based mostly off my own cat Lol
Mother hen cat! Tara is amazing.
This scene is literally the "oh my gah" meme, except she doesn't really need to wish being a bird bc she is already part bird
Petition to have these scenes still happen as camp events with Tav!
Of course she comes in loud as hell when you attempt to sleep
I agree with Tara on many things, but Gale better keep that "thing" in his face 😤
Yup, my next playthrough, my Tav will accept Gale's proposal and move to Waterdeep, just so she could spend more time with this delightful tressym. XD
10:23 that meow
I wonder how that conversation went in the recording booth
the little turn she does when you tell her you have someone !!! delightful !!!
Alright, now I need to start a campaign as Gale.
I dont take orders from my Masseuse! Ahahah😂
Great, now I need a mod to add Tara to all playthroughs and use Gale to get this dialogue.
When I see Mystra it is *ON SIGHT*
So playing Gale’s Origin is the only way to get Tara to join your camp?
On one hand it’s nice to have additional/alternate/content for future runs. But this cat lady is too cute to not be a permanent addition to everyone’s camp
Found her on the roof killing pigeons. When i told her to piss off i realized later she was Gale's cat. Ugh.
I like to think Gale can’t *actually* understand Tara like he has a permanent speak with animals thing going on, he’s just so good at understanding her body language and expression from their bond he knows what she’s meaning to say.
A flying mama cat?! *dies*
Tara sounds like auntie Ethel, probably just the same voice actor but I won't lie my cantrip finger twitched a bit when I heard that voice. I love that cat though.
It is the same VA. Didn't realise it myself during my first playthrough until I watched the credits
Wait a second… is that Ethel’s VA? 😂
Wait... wait... THAT IS HER OMG!
GOOD LORD CAN YOU IMAGINE IF SHE IS AUNTIE ETHEL FUCKING WITH YOU AND TARA NEVER LEFT WATERDEEP?!
@@almisami If I have to kill that hag a third time...
I ..I think it is! Gale better keep petting or she'll do terrible things to his spine 😂
I think also Lady Esther?
Wish that she could hang around in camp and be the sassy wine aunt to Scratch and the Owlbear…
I want a tressym companion in game, having one in real life would be cool too.
I love her and I haven’t even played the game yet.
hes clearly petting the cat wrong
Auntie Ethel... your a cat now?!
Hate Tara because she ate all those pigeons.
I am assuming you need to have a Gale Origin to get this. Will Tara stick around camp?
She will, she'll even drop a collar which acts as an amulet with the spell telekinesis on it iirc (though you're a monster if you kill her for it :P)
I petition Tara join the camp if you are romancing Gale officially. Would be so wonderful to have her around in act 2 and 3
@@racheldemers611saaaame! Tara camp buddy or riot! 🥺
She is until act 3 where she sits on a church roof and eats pigeons for the rest of the game
my petting zoo slash camp needs Tara there..desperately😂❤
How no one mentions the similarities between Gale's back story and a book called The Redemption of Althalus, is beyond me.
Probably not as many readers of it playing this game as you might think. I never never read it myself.
Oh bloody hell, you're right! Especially if he's origin played, because then he's literally collecting a...family. ARGH!
Interesting. Tara makes it seem as if Gale is usually clean-shaven.
Tressam in Balderan means fussy granny
Walking CATaclysm
ok... didnt want to play for any of the characters.... BUT OH MY GOD I NEED IT :D :D :D TARA IS AWESOME
Thank you!
Omg she's a mamacat
So you have to do a origin to see her??? I've only seen her at the reunion end! Omg how cook!
Yup. Have to play as Gale
I’m about to finish my third play through but non of it was with one of the origin characters. Just tav and dark urge. Gale looks interesting to start tho

She reminds me of Dame Judy Dench
Or Helen Mirren or Julie Walters

Haven't gotten far enough yet. Stay tuned!
If you speak to her as any other person when doing a Gale run she looks at you and goes 'Hm, meow' and ignores you.
I would die for her
1:29 that introduction tho
That came out of nowhere 😂
What a good girl ! 😍
Gale needs to upgrade to a griffon or manticore.
Omg I didn’t get this!!!! TARA-AA
Why Tara is not in camp when you play Tav is beyond me
Why why why no voice over for the origin characters..........?!
It's a literary device to help you slip into the role of the character more by you giving a mental voice to them with the dialogue options.
