Agree. Karlach deserves a major improvement but that's not the only story involved. The fact she's a companion and an OC character put her in the spotlights way more than any other quests.

She's a bit like the spearhead to highlight the scriptwriting shortcomings of the game. And the fact that she's written as an endearing character, that she's played particularly well by her VA, and that a barbarian is always appreciated in a squad, all of this greatly amplifies its impact for many players (including me).
The first "objective feedbacks" freed from the "magic of discovery" about the weakness of act 3 in particular, came through the Justice For Karlach movement, then highlighted by requests for feedback from Larian in stride.
Then everyone agree there is much more to do with barely everything in act 3, and some improvements in act 1&2 like Minthara, Karlach, Astarion, Gortash... to polish this game and wait for Larian to give it the complete and memorable look it's supposed to have.


I also agree, I don't want the characters to change, I want more content with them and a little more variation in the romance.

Is it just me, or did Lae'zel have different responses to the PC's race in EA? I could've sworn her 'large, fleshy nose' line was purely for humans. But my half-orc got the same treatment which felt... odd to say the least.

90% sure I got it as a Tiefling and Half Elf in EA

I would point out for those disappointed, this is par for the course for larian, they make great games but story is not their strong suit. They were extremely ambitious with dos2, and the final act was a bit nonsensical because they ran out of money and could nor fulfill their ambition. I have no doubt that they will polish the game and add more content to the last 2 acts but just like with dos2, they made a great game with an unpolished ending because they have to much ambition. And honestly I like that about them, better to shoot for the stars and miss than to set out with an average goal.

Hope Larian address this with Patch 1 and 2. But it feels so weird some of these last minute changes.
