Players Reveal Why You Should Always Give a Companion to Dribbles in Baldur’s Gate 3

Whether it’s selecting a specific outcome or deciding on a suitable romantic partner, Baldur’s Gate 3 offers a plethora of choices and their corresponding consequences. Even seemingly insignificant decisions can greatly influence the course of your relationships or the overall outcome of the game.

In order to develop romantic relationships with the numerous companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, players must earn their approval rather than simply talking to them until they fall in love. This can be accomplished by making specific dialogue choices or through more subtle actions throughout the game’s storyline.

In Act Three’s carnival, players have the opportunity to encounter a diverse group of individuals, including the short-lived Dribbles the Clown. Interestingly, the seemingly innocent choice of selecting a companion to perform with Dribbles on stage can greatly influence their approval, as reported by players on the Baldur’s Gate 3 Reddit.

“According to the poster, giving your friends the chance to share the stage with a clown is a valuable and deserved opportunity in life. The reactions and responses received from this experience are said to be some of the game’s most entertaining content.”

Upon further examination of the devnotes for this scene, it was uncovered that there is an even better option available. While the general consensus is to send someone else, the level of approval received is contingent upon the chosen individual and the composition of the party.

The subsequent information consisted of a comprehensive list of appraisal points that are awarded based on the Companion you send up.

An intriguing aspect is that numerous individuals prioritize granting +2 to their approval by having their ‘rival’ go up on stage. If you send Lae’zel, Shadowheart will receive +2 and vice versa. This operates similarly to Wyll and Karlach, or Astarion and Minsc.

Additionally, Karlach will receive a +2 bonus if you opt to include Jaheira in Dribbles’ group, as long as you keep her true identity as the High Harper a secret.

Despite being uncomfortable with being put in the spotlight, Minthara and Gale are not fond of being brought up on stage. Additionally, Halsin is completely oblivious to the concept of a clown and is perplexed by the idea, making it advisable to avoid selecting these characters.

As a result of understanding that this particular scene allows for selection, you can strategically select your ‘victim’ before introducing them to Dribbles. However, it is important to carefully consider your choice, as all of their dialogue is guaranteed to be amusing.
