Larian undermines themselves by making forceful, headstrong characters […] in stark juxtaposition with their actual behaviour, which is to declare the PC the party leader and to follow them more or less blindly
Story time.
Tav once joined forces with the Absolute to massacre the druid grove. That night, Gale confronted her, accused her of making him do terrible things, then announced his intention to leave the party.
Tav: [lying through her teeth] I didn’t make you do anything. The blood on your hands is of your own doing.
[Persuasion check successful]
Gale: You’re right. I’m the monster. I’ll stay in the party.
Gale’s dignity was never seen nor heard from again.
