If you have Lae'zel in your party she attempts to take the initiative during the dialogue, this is good, my issue comes after this. If you cede that to her the game still seems to think you're in control of what happens next, I've done this a few times both with a Lae'zel who dislikes me and one that respects me, it doesn't make sense either way for her to be looking to me for guidance when she's talking to her own people, and a superior.

Having every dialogue beat revolve around secret hand gestures telling her what to say is pretty egregious, I can understand a persuade check to get her to hold off on talking about the tadpoles or the mystery box but as it stands there's really nothing yet that makes Lae'zel look to your character for leadership. In fact I think she might actually find it a little insulting.

Yeah it does seem there is something in her story arc simply missing that she puts herself willingly into the beta role. Generally all of the companion interactions are severely lacking, since they do not react to the evolving relationship. Either they have not yet recorded all voicelines for Act I, or the budget constraints won't allow deeper conversation and changing tone with the companions. That is why I prefer text over voice. Text can explain everything fast, comprehensible and extensively while also being ridiculously cheap. Voice is, slow, lacking context, short and very expensive.
