A Baldur’s Gate 3 user recently revealed the unexpected rudeness of a character named Withers. This necromancer demonstrated his impudence by taunting another character, Gale, about his solitude after the player rejected Gale's advances.
Withers stands out in Baldur's Gate 3. He is an undead revenant who companions the player throughout the journey. Withers can be encountered in Act 1 or Act 2.
The uniqueness of this character lies not only in his personality traits but also in his distinctive abilities. This skeleton-like figure possesses a powerful aptitude for reviving fallen allies, making him an invaluable asset to any team.
The players of Baldur’s Gate 3 are gradually unfolding more and more about this intriguing ally with the appearance of a crypt keeper.
One noteworthy thing about Withers is his sharp tongue. He is capable of making biting comments towards those characters who ignore the player character's advances. This attribute, however, shows another side of this otherwise likable fellow.
A specific instance that left a player astounded was the dialogue between Withers and Gale. After Gale was rejected by the player, he turned to Withers to reset his spells.
However, Withers was far from being discreet about the situation and pointedly reminded Gale of his forsaken status. The player was rather taken aback by the blatant rudeness exhibited by Withers.
The taunting by Withers was filled with an unmistakable gloat, almost as if he was rubbing salt in the wound. Not only did he bring up Gale's rejection, but he also made sarcastic comments that made the discomforting situation even worse.
The player noted that this behavior was not just specific to Gale. Withers, in fact, had been acting similarly towards all those characters who had been rejected by the player.
Several players shared their stories of Withers' exploits. Recollections of Withers' cruel comments made to other rejected characters, such as Jaheira, were brought up.
By the time Withers made his insensitive remarks, Jaheira had already unveiled her past revealing the tragic loss of her husband. Amongst the plethora of players, one mentioned, 'I once went to Withers to respec Jaheira and he told her the same.'
An unexpected link between Baldur’s Gate 3 and another popular game, Elden Ring, was brought up in the discussions. It appears that the audience for both of these games overlap quite a bit, leading to comparisons and jests.
Jokes about Withers' phrases were also exchanged with most revolving around the term 'maidenless.' One player humorously commented, 'Thou is maidenless,' while another retorted, 'Ah, I see. [Thou] can’t pull no birds.'
From these interactions, it becomes evident that underneath his supportive role and valuable skills, Withers has a sharp tongue. He enjoys probing into the affairs of others, especially when it comes to romantic liaisons.
