Notable Humans In Baldur’s Gate 3
Humans are the most common race players will encounter in the world ofBaldur’s Gate 3and due to that, there are many important human characters in the game.
When it comes to companions, there are three the player can recruit who belong to the human race, which is a huge number, only rivaled by that of the Elves and the Half-Elves, which makes sense as these three are the most popular races.
The first human that the player will find is Gale, who can also be chosen to play as an origin character. He can be recruited very early on, and players can find him stuck inside the Roadside Cliffs waypoint. As a Wizard, Gale will be a powerhouse when it comes to casting spells, he can also be a great support during combat.
The second human the player can recruit as a companion, or play as as an origin character, is Wyll. He will be found a bit ahead in the story, when the player will have to fight goblins. After defeating the goblins, the player will have the option to recruit him.He’s a Warlock who has made a pact with the devil, and can dish out quite a lot of damage.
The last notable human is Minsc, who is, by far,the hardest to recruit of the three.This is because he is only available very late into the game, in Act 3, and players can only get him if they manage to recruit Jaheira in Act 2. He’s a ranger, known as the Stonelord.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available to play on PC and PlayStation 5.
