You can also play fetch with him by throwing his ball, and sometimes he'll bring you little gifts, but that's about it.
i found a ball in camp but when i throw it near him he doesn't do anything

You can definitely feel the lack of EA polish as soon as you leave Act 1.

In particular, I've noticed that I was getting a bunch of [DROW] dialogue options in Act 1, and I'm not certain I've had a single one since then.

The little things that spark joy:

Talking to someone you know you'll have to fight later and buying their potions.

Gee, Balthazar, that Potion of Speed probably would be serving you better than that 40 gold right now, wouldn't it?

Do enemies only use potions on Tactical? Cuz on balanced I don't even think I've encountered an enemy that did a heal that wasn't maybe a revive

I've seen some throw potions on Balanced, and some dudes will definitely heal. Githyanki like Rally.

The aforementioned lard gargler does use the potion first turn, though.

thief subclass + dual hand crossbows + crossbow expert feat = enemies being deleted

add in someone casting haste and maybe a bloodlust elixir and that's 5 shots in a turn. not sure if it's better to multiclass to ranger or fighter for the extra attack

Its not that ball. Youll get a scene eventually in camp where he shows up with a ball in his mouth and you can use that one to play fetch and even summon him as a familiar.

He's a fun character. I initially benched him just as you did but he's good company in my dark urge run. My initial crew was Gale, Shadowheart and Karlach with Minsc replacing her. Now I'm running with Shadowheart, Astarion and Lae'zel.

In three separate playthroughs I have staked him twice. When I made an honest attempt to gain his approval in another I just could not figure out how. He's such an evil little bitch.

early spoilers for Gale - if I leave him in the camp, does that mean I don't have to worry about him eating magic items?

he's pretty useful, but I don't mind taking that route, if necessary.

If you don't "feed" him, he'll leave. I highly suggest you don't let him do that unless you don't like his character (which is easy to do, he's a bit of a sex pest?). You'll run across more than enough magic items to give him, so I suggest you just do it.

so he'll still approach you about it in the camp, if he's not a part of the party?

I already fed him once, but since I'm still pretty early in the game, it's an item that would have helped.

Yes.

You're still early, but don't worry. You'll run across toooooooons of green magic items. It's better than EA when the choices of what to give him were rather limited and the items he asked for were VERY useful.

I'm only now realizing how good Command is for crowd control.

It does have the side effect of Shadowheart being able to order rooms full of people to grovel with one word.

I've never thought that spell useful. I thought it was single target. You're telling me it's multi target?

One target per level, so up to 6.

Can't individualize the orders but it's not that major.

He hates the pact itself, but doesn't regret the circumstances that led him to it, since he saved the city from Tiamat cultists as a result

i'm hoping i didn't mess up in act 3 when i was talking with raphael and i took the bargain to get the hammer and give him the crown. talked with karlach later and it sounds like there's a way out but who knows how hard that will be.

also when i was crossing the bridge the gnomes helped me, but when talking with one of the guards they gave me a mission to kill the gnomes. don't know if not completing that will make me an oathbreaker if i just ignore it. did talk with the gnomes and got the bomb to destroy the steel watcher factory though

If you want quest spoilers for the Raphael thing, you have to get into the House of Hope, and while there you can find and tear up your contract.

yeah i figured as much from talking with karlach after accepting it that i would be going there. plus, you get a pretty good weapon from him and another from voss as well. i was thinking i'd need as much help when going against the elder brain and the other two and laezel wanted to free orpheus as well

the power of gloom stalker 5 / thief 5 with sharpshooter. risky ring to increase accuracy and guarantee sneak attack thanks to advantage on all attacks. on the first turn, that's 5 attacks. attack, extra attack, dread ambusher, 2 bonus action off-hand attacks from thief. i've done over 100 damage when hitting with all 5 attacks

i have noticed that it doesn't show the correct damage on my regular attacks, just the normal 1d6+7. it calculates the correct damage when hitting enemies though, so a weird UI bug

You just don't know how to use him. Wyll is actually really good as a Warlock. Especially if you respec him into Pact of the Blade.

Eldritch Blast is the nest Cantrip for a reason.
