Gale is the most popular Origin character and also the deadliest

What do the stats say? Baldur’s Gate 3 was released about a week ago now. Creator Larian Studios reveals some initial stats based on players. In the community, the most popular Origin character is the charming wizard Gale.

Larian Studios has posted detailed statistics about this on Steam. 93 percent of players created a custom character and 7 percent chose a pre-made character. Here’s how the players decided on the different characters:

  • Gale with 27,784
  • Karlach with 22,514

    Gale is also often the reason why you die: So the charming wizard Gale is the most popular choice among gamers when playing an Origin character. Even if Karlach and Astarion are hot on his heels. Who wants to take offense? Gale is a multi-faceted character who flaunts his charismatic manner and vast knowledge. He skillfully solves most problems in an elegant way.

    His insatiable thirst for magic sometimes leads to explosions. Gale causes a lot of excitement in the group with his fireballs. So far, it’s also the seventh most common reason many players die, according to Larian Studios. Such a powerful fireball can quickly wipe the group, so be careful when aiming.

    If you’re not playing Gale as your first character, you can also romance him in Baldur’s Gate 3, but it may not be as exciting as the hottie deepling Karlach.
