I was getting pretty annoyed with him at the beginning of the game, gobbling up all of the decent gear we found. But then he just stopped asking for things and I have a hundred different things he could eat now.
And you can also not give him shit and he eventually just makes a deal with Raphael behind your back
He will leave if you don't give him anything.
Maybe I'm mistaken but I'm sure if you pass the persuasion checks telling him "not right now" you can persuade him to stay and he just goes "I'll figure something else out" and that's where the story ends in that regard
Either way you get so many magical items in the first act alone (if you 100% it) that sacrificing the 3 that don't fit your builds is not such a heavy sacrifice
I was only able to persuade him the first time. Then I eventually gave him something. The second time there was no option to persuade, and when I just closed the dialogue, he left. Someone a while ago here on Lemmy posted a screenshot of a letter he will write to you before he leaves if you just ignore him. In the scope of the game, what he asks for is insignificant. When you don't know about his limit, and he takes the first 3 magic items you find, it is a little painful.
Gale is OP for Tactician or Honor mode if you don't feel like doing the final battle. Send him up the brainstalk alone and he’ll nuke the brain letting everyone else escape.
