They really shine, especially in their moments.
Lae'zel in the creche and the astral and talking to Vlaakith. The emotion behind her scenes completely hooked me. I felt it.
Astarion making his big decision in the scene with Cazador.
Shadowheart as her story unfolds.
Some of the scenes are incredibly powerful. While there are some aspects to the storytelling that bother me, I can't deny that there are wonderful, moving moments.

I haven't done much with Karlach or Wyll yet. And Gale... I'm sad to say that I didn't get far enough with his story yet to give credible feedback.
I'd love to get a chance to play with Halsin and Jaheira and Minsc, but seriously, there's only so much time.

Basically, though, I'm loving Lae'zel, Astarion, and Shadowheart. Their stories are so much better than I had imagined they would be. I was hyped, and I am still more than pleasantly surprised.
