i agree that saheila started out interesting and then fizzled out into obscurity/boring cliche as the game went on. there was a serious lack of coherence in the writing for that particular arc and it felt as though more than one person wrote it. as for sebille, i'd like her more if she wasn't trying to make out with me every other interaction we have, like good god can we just be friends
the vengeful ex-slave thing was cool though
lohse's quest line is pretty great and culminates in one of the most difficult fights in the game, so it delivers more than most other quests
beast's arc was good since the whole dwarven subplot actually runs quite deep and is interesting to learn about, but as a character he just fell back on dwarf tropes too much; big beard, kind of irreverent, agreeable and loyal with a rowdy side
the red prince's questline is cool but has a few hiccups here and there, particularly concerning a certain bug involving eternally respawning enemies. also the most disappointing ending of all if you romanced him (this random lady i dreamed about is more important than you but hey you can still be my slave if you want) but if you didn't then it turns out fine. his ending reminds me of how much i want some form of continuation with companion relationships in a dlc or expansion at some point since a lot of the endings feel very unsatisfactory
fane's arc lore-wise is very interesting and, as it progresses, you get a bigger and bigger understanding of exactly who you are traveling with, but the quests themselves felt lacking, maybe just in numbers. i enjoyed the black pits but it didn't feel like we had to branch off much for him, which isn't that surprising since undead characters were among the last things to be added iirc
i liked ifan's questline a lot and putting down his former boss was a lot of fun. sort of a predictable character like beast but not offensively so
