Nobody appears to talk about Lae'zel. And granted, I did not like her much at the start of the game, and I suppose it's the same for most players.
And now early in Act 3, "like" is still not exactly how I would describe my attitude towards her, but I've become a fan because of her story. I think it's one of the best companion stories ever told in a roleplaying game. And a significant reason why I think so is that she can go through a great deal of character development without being changed in her core identity. I always appreciated her fierce loyalty, misplaced as it was, and her determination. That's still there. And you could argue that she's still "lawful evil" because she now has a different cause to be fiercely loyal to (I had to chuckle when I got that conversation - I thought "well, Lae'zel remains Lae'zel after all") which may be better for her people but still not what you might call "good". And still, so much has happened to her that she seems to be a different person at times, and she's more reflective too.
Obviously, I'm talking about one particular outcome of her story. I haven't seen the others, but I suspect it's the one most players will see. I haven't romanced Lae'zel and I probably never will, but she has earned a great deal of respect from my player character in spite of the fact that they still don't see eye to eye on many things, and a great deal of appreciation from me as a player. There's also a moral in that which I very much like.
What does anyone else think?
