I actually like Lae'zel quite a bit, she and Wyll are my favorite characters at this point. I like Gale too, but Wyll is charming and Lae'zel is interesting.
I think I've only fallen for the stealth check once in my three or four playthroughs, and the fact that he goes for me with the knife at all is still just really off-putting for a character you're supposed to welcome onto your side. What're your thoughts on the whole blood drinking scene and his potentially killing your character? And his reaction afterwards of course.
