Look, I'm not even a huge Karlach fan. I barely had her in my active party. But I DID care for her personal quest and to be completely honest, compared to other party NPCs, Karlach's quest really DOES feel incomplete.
After Act 2, it just ... stops. Why? There is nothing in Act 3, am I right?
Gale has his quest getting the book and his date with Mystra (Admittedly, this was super short and also felt kind of unresolved!)
Wyll has his questline of freeing his father / breaking his deal with Mizora, and finding the Dragon.
Lae'Zel has the quest for the Orphic Hammer.
Shadowheart has the House of Grief.
Astarion has Cazador
Jaheira has Minsc
Minsc has ... nothing really, but he's more of a cameo character anyway (not saying he doesn't deserve a quest)
Halsin ... was absent most of the time, because he got kidnapped, but yeah he didn't have anything in act 3 either. Kind of felt out of place in Act 3 to be honest.
Anyway, all of the origin characters had their quests continued in act 3, while Karlach's quest just stopps. She can confront Gortash, but that's it.
COMPLETELY agree on the quest needing finishing. I just think the
Return to Avernus with a friend (sacrifice the good life in Faerun) vs. Die a short but fulfilled life in happy Baldur's Gate (sacrifice her longevity for happiness) is thematically on point when you consider every other companion has to choose between two things, one they've always wanted, and the other which one can think is the "right" thing.
