I’m really confused about when I can first experience a romance scene with Gale. After I entered Act 2, he was super flirty with Tav, and I was totally ready to dive into that. I completed the Marcus fight and agreed to head to Moonrise Towers, but when I rushed back to camp, I ended up getting a scene where I was comforting our Guardian instead. So, how much longer do I have to wait for the Gale scene? Do I need to finish lifting the whole curse and take down Ketheric first? Is pursuing Gale as a romantic interest going to be a long wait? Oh, and I hugged the Guardian—does that mean I might have locked myself out of romancing Gale?

You should expect the first romance scene after your initial long rest at Moonrise. However, sometimes you have to rest multiple times to clear out any previously queued scenes before you can get to Gale’s moment.
Try doing a partial long rest to line up those cut scenes. The game’s progression can mean a lot of scenes are queued, so story points often take priority. On my second playthrough, it’s been a night and day difference—didn’t even see the Owlbear until after Ketheric was gone!
It usually triggers after your first visit to Moonrise Towers. If it doesn’t happen right away, you might just have a backlog of cut scenes waiting for you. Just do more long rests, and eventually, you’ll see an exclamation point pop up over Gale’s head!
To trigger Gale’s romance scene, you definitely need to reach the waypoint at Moonrise Towers, but make sure you actually walk up the steps and enter the place itself to set everything in motion!
I’m not sure about Gale specifically, but in my current run with a polyamory mod, every long rest is seriously heated! Just keep resting a few more times, and I bet things will start heating up for you too soon.
Got it! So it’s not just the waypoint; I need to go inside to get things rolling. Thanks for clearing that up!
