"Ah, you have the weapon I'm looking for...I'd better get on my flying war crime and go-Baretha take care of them and bring me the weapon"; It's James Bond logic bordering on Austin Powers logic.
100% Agree ... this SHOULD have ben trap scenario in that dialogue.
And personaly i blame Early Acess for it isnt ...
I still remember that shitstorm that started on forum, when EA started and people find out that they may die during the dialogue with dying Illithid ...
To me it seems like everything in that dialogue was litteraly screaming: "Save yourself, this is your last chance!" ... but some people decided to lean closer anyway, and surprise surprise, that brain eating mind controlling thing controlled their mind so it can eat their brain. -_-
And people get angry.
Therefore Larian got scared and didnt include any other certain death traps into conversations.
why she's so surprised by the patrols reaction isn't really clear to me.
This should be easy ...
She sees us as monsters allready, bcs as Faerûnians(?) we are lower beings for her ... it seems a little odd, if we play as a Githyanki, but since our Githyanki PC seems to be so ignorant so s/he never even heared about purification, we might lower oureself in her eyes. :-/
But she is a Githyanki, even more a Githyanki that is quite sure about her own superiority ...
Maybe i explained it badly, but to me it seemed like that anger moment when person who are certain that he is extra special is treated as any other commoner.
I believe she would be quite fine with it, if Kithrak would demand our heads ... but promises that he will help her ... its quite possible that was even the plan.
The problem (and source of her surprise) is that he DARED to attack HER!
I don't think following Lae'zel around like she knows what she's doing is reasonable for most characters, except another Githyanki.
Agreed ...
And another Githyanki have much less problems with making a deal with Kithrak.
