Speaking of Wyll, he is really failing to be interesting. There should be material there, but... meh.

His story was entirely rewritten compared to Early Access, and I think stuff they added after EA does lack some polish. People regularly complain about Halsin and Minthara being underwhelming as companion options, and I have to admit, I liked Wyll's earlier, more gruff voice more.

That's a pretty huge spoiler to not put in the spoiler thread, so spoiler it?

I don't see it as a spoiler, folks might want to know before hand, to plan for it, but not go to spoiler thread. Maybe there should be a minor spoiler thread.

There's no level on which it's not a spoiler. It's a bigger spoiler than anything in the spoiler thread that isn't spoiler blocked, actually. I have no idea why you haven't fixed it but maybe you need to go on ignore for a few weeks if you think it's cool and refuse to fix it.

I don't have such a save, and if I did, it would be too far back for me to want to retread everything that has happened since then, unfortunately.

Then you should consider restarting. You are not very far into a huge game, and Gale is a pretty major character.

You are SUPPOSED to miss things, by design. It's for replayability. The game is crammed full of hidden stuff which you completely don't need to bother with, and some which you won't see at all unless you have certain characters/classes/races.

Fair, I probably need to relax a bit.

That's house rule. There is nothing in the spell description that would cause someone to believe their "new best friend" that the other guys who are attacking them are friendly. More likely, they would assume their "friend" was the victim of magic.

If an enemy casts Charm on a PC do you require the entire party to change sides?

I'm saying the NPC who sees the caster as their "new bestest friend in the world" might take their word over anyone elses and may hesitate at the least or possibly even try to subdue. It would be a a skill check or 2 to get the New Friend to listen to you perhaps in the heat of battle. Them acting normally accept against the caster is almost pointless... well in combat.

And is not available to clerics, like Shadowheart. Casting Friends gives -5 points rep. Cast it often enough and members of that faction will attack you.

I've abused the hell out of Friends and never got a Rep hit. Maybe thats only on Tactical difficulty though

so I got Laezel out of her predicament, then went to long rest without talking to her, which meant she was gone before I could recruit her

did the entire act 1 area, really spent time there, and when I was just about to leave found her laying dead, didn't think to use revivify scroll until after I had already looted her body but she did agree to join the party, standing there in her underwear

How far along are you? And have you managed to get him and Karlach in camp together? Interesting things start happening after that point if you manage to keep them from fighting.

I failed to get Karlach at all. the quest timed out on me. Though Wyll get more intersting later as his backstory stated to impact the plot.

Wait what? Quests can time out? That ratchets up my anxiety.

Like the Druids are ready to flee at any moment! But I have to wait a couple levels to deal with the Goblins..... and Im looking for Karlach...
