Lae'zel [snip]. I feel like she would actually appreciate someone showing strength so putting her in place with rolls, and also keeping her strongheadedness in check, makes twice the sense.
100% agree. Strong-willed people such as Lae'zel actual appreciate a firm hand, even if they don't like the decisions. They can respect that. Since she blindly follows you, it seems odd that she's not reflecting that in her approval/disapproval.
On that note, Lae'zel should abandon the party pretty early on if you won't follow her purification quest. If she thinks she has only a day or two to live, why would she stick around? The player could run into her again when finally doing this quest, and she can then rejoin the party.
