You are going to put the game down because of KARLACH? Why? She, they, whatever, wasn't even part of the main cast, it's more like a DLC character except they don't do DLC. I really don't get the obsession with this thing.
Baldur's Gate is a great game beyond the romance fluff, you would be missing out.
Karlach is an origin character that can only be saved if you pick her. Even so, there is nothing wrong with dropping the game and coming back when you feel like you're ready
