And just did the Flying Gnome encounter. Yet another ungrateful jerk. Lae'zel demanding to be set free is entirely in keeping with her character, but puny Gnome guy? No. Even Shadowheart, in all her secretive arrogance, is more deferential (trapped in her pod) than this guy, whom you just saved from a pack of Goblins who were probably going to eat him at some point. If I were playing in a PnP game and the GM played an NPC similarly to this guy, I'd just leave him there (which is an option in the game, I know).
Shadowheart was a lot harsher at the beginning of EA three years ago, and Larian made her more deferential after one year of complaints. I don't feel the need for NPCs to be deferential to me because I usually extort them ANYWAY, but I guess I can see why some people expect some respect.
