So to talk about more PFH stuff, something I'm excited about is that it seems very clear that we won't have to wait for the end of the game for romances to become "official." The city seems to be act 3, but even early on it seems clear that your romance with Karlach is pretty set. I love that, I look forward to having a relationship that's romantic stretched out through the game. Being in a relationship and the drama of that could be really fun. Plus everything they showed of Karlach was so painfully wholesome, I loved every moment of it and I can't wait to meet her in the game.
...everything but the bomb in her chest... I really wished we could skip this kind of drama. Maybe I'm just getting jaded after 20+ years of video games, but Larian's approach is just pushing everything again to the max. Karlach from everything I've seen looks like a really fun character, a really nice change of pace after the EA. Being chased by an arch devil sounded already over the top, but fine, we get it its BG3... why the bomb though? Brain bug + arch devil + chasing down the slaver that sold her not enough drama? Really?
I feel it's not in Larian's makeup to be able to NOT throw stuff like that into every character they create. Over-the-top ridiculousness is their brand.
