Yes I wanted to do a more or less evil playthrough and recruit her, but I saw that we don't get her before act 2 and she looks like always angry and not so many things happen, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm happy that Larian upgraded and restored some more dialogs and scenes.
But yes, she is the only character that a bit heavy to get and keep. It's cohesive as she is a Drow, independant etc. but still, among the many companion she looks a bit boring to get.
The 2 BG2 characters are also long and complicated to get, but it feels more natural as it's tied to the story and with
we are used to get complicated and long quests ^^
