I pick up Laezel as a companion on the ship (mandatory) shes a real demanding bitch isn't she? i try to piss her off as much as possible because i don't like her neither physically or mentally.
Do you think that will make her MORE of a demanding bitch that you don't like or LESS of one? Being understanding works wonders.
Of course if you choose to suffer through her being even more of an ass then she already is, then by all means continue. I think that might even be your goal. People often overlook how counter productive it is to "be an ass yourself" which causes complication in reality. So simply tossing it in incase it's overlooked.
As for Lae'zel herself, she's a demanding bitch because she's afraid of not being in control. Of having her control taken away from her. I'm observant enough to know how people "tick". But what REALLY nails it home is how she'd rather take her own life then turn into a mind flayer. Her fear of course leads to hypocrisy and trying to kill the party (optional if she's not picked up the first time?) but that's what fear does. Make you what you hate. If we liked her and she was a mary sue we'd probably hate her more. But here we at least have context. Along with Shadowheart (who is afraid and mistrustful for other reasons) and other companions.
Pointing out that fear is counterproductive to making good sex happen. Lae'zel at least keeps hers in check more often then not. Shadowheart on the other hand stalls, hesitates, fixates on negatives... Ignorance (partly from memory loss) also factors in. If anyone is a cold bitch that won't show affection, it's her. Shes difficult for the sake of being difficult due to mistrust. Lae'zel on the other hand will be direct and upfront with you provided you are with her and show you have a brain. And make things happen quicker then shadowheart to boot. Though Lae'zel does have a bit of a closed minded nature, yet she can be challenged and listens to reason if pushed (and your logic adds up). Shadowheart on the other hand is more like to pull "deaf ears and turned backs". Of which can cause more harm.
Personaly I "kind of" like Lae'zel. At least to an extent. But even if I wasn't biased I'd consider her the lesser evil. Shadowheart worships a god that deals with loss (though she doesn't really belief in losing what matters) and this means she's more likely to ditch your ass in a time of need. At least until you get past her brick wall. Where Lae'zel's can be knocked down if you know how to do so, Shadowheart is... delicate and fragile. Weak even. Learning, getting stronger, but between Shadowheart and Lae'zel, Lae'zel clearly has the experience. She doesn't fixate on negatives as much as Shadowheart does. Has more of a "can do" attitude. regardless of what one thinks of her that's something to be respected.
