Larian doesn't want us to be playing good, kind, noble characters in BG3 because that isn't their thing. So even in situations where they're giving you good/kind/noble options, you can tell they don't want to do it but are feeling compelled to do it, and so they make those options silly/lame/pathetic.
I get this vibe listening to them talk about the game and from PFH stuff.
I do not get this vibe when I played Early Access though. I was satisfied with my mostly good run of the game. I believe I played before some companion tweaks as well, so their prickly personalities could be a tad off putting at times when the game started. But most of them (besides Astarian, who I think is just an abysmal character overall) grew on me.
