Whom should you save between Wyll and his father in Baldur’s Gate 3?

You should choose to save Wyll’s father, Duke Ravenguard in Baldur’s Gate 3. In order to do this, you will have to convince Wyll to accept the contract with Mizora in the game. This will make Wyll happy since he knows his father will be safe.

Apart from that, the Duke will reveal a secret once saved that will assist in the protection of Baldur’s Gate. This in turn makes your task of defeating the Absolute much easier and thereby leads to a pretty good ending for the game.

What happens if you do not save Wyll’s father

There is the other end of the coin, where you convince Wyll to decline his contract with Mizora and become free. This leads to his father, Duke Ravenguard dying at some point. It also leaves Wyll with grief even though he becomes a free man in the end as Mizora strips him of both the contract and the powers of the Warlock.

Lastly, it is important to mention that you can save both, irrespective of the options you wish to choose. However, that task is extremely difficult as you must find the characters with few leads.
