I've played patch 5. I warned you to be careful what you wish for, and congratulations, they completely ruined her as a character. It is not the only place where they made some very populist decisions that just make their narrative weaker.
Since Larian cares about gameplay much more than story I guess it was predictable they'll budge on the story much more than the gameplay, but man this is lame what's going on in this game right now. I'm more convinced than ever they really lack any vision from a narrative standpoint.
it's EA so let's relax a bit on the apocalyptic language but i will agree that something is definitely up with their narrative vision for her in particular. I've said it before, but i'm getting the feeling she's supposed to be more important than just a normal companion. Unless this is all just a reaction to the "companions are assholes" criticisms and the whole "we released the evil companions first" was total nonsense and she was meant to be a "good" companion. Right now we're in a weird in-between where she switches almost instantly from friendly to snarky teenager to friendly and it's very jarring. Now that i see they're willing to change companions, I'm not too worried.
