Thank you!
The choices that lead to an early game over are pretty clear about the size and scale of the solution you are taking. If you make those choices, it's not Gale's writing that is at fault.
Saying he is arrogant is also weird... He's confident, sure. But look at other mages like Rolan and Lorrorakan. They are arrogant. Gale is a man who used to be arrogant and full of hubris and is wrestling with the choices that led him to be where we find him at the start of the game. He clearly does not like who he was in the past, if you take the time to talk to him and he is constantly wrestling with choices you and he make in the course of the campaign.
