I grant that it would have made sense for her to have used the buff body model that's been introduced rather than the standard one, but in terms of the way she acts, I rather like it because she's not a barbarian in terms of culture or or ideology, she's a barbarian because she gets really angry and can tap into that anger. It's rare to see a barbarian character that's not just a barbarian from a tribe and all that. So on that front I do actually applaud Larian's approach. She's a city girl and she sounds like a city girl. As for her romance scene we saw? Well even Cassandra liked poems and trashy romance novels. And her romance leaned into ideas of courtly love and those sorts of things. I see what we've been shown of Karlach's romance to just be a variation of that, but for a city girl rather than a highly religious noblewoman.
