Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion [END SPOILS WARNING] Addressing Karlach (PLEASE PUT SPOILERS IN TAGS)

Troll or no, he kind of has a point though, in general that is.

Its really sad and I feel for anyone having heart issues, Trauma, or who gets stung by seeing certain events which might remind one of a bad memory, experience etc. I have a couple myself.

BUT, blaming a game and its developer set in a fantasy d&d setting for you reliving that, just isn't fair, period.

If every movie, game, book, play, comedian etc. had to cater to every persons health issues, trauma, personal beliefs, identity, experiences and so on, we would live in a really boring world, and very few interesting story arcs, villains, heroes, stories overcoming/coming to terms with adversity, conflict, character progression etc etc etc. would remain to us.

Its ok feeling hurt, and I can sympathize. However playing the victim card as one among the 0.0001% of the audience, isn't imo. Theres far too much of it going around.

Im not targeting anyone in particular with this, just a bit tired of these stabs at Larian from people who play the victim card, when its pretty obvious there are no bad intentions from Larian.
This goes for society at large as well.

PS: Karlach isnt going to Hell in the same sense as in religious RL, her soul has not been bought nor is it owned. If/when she dies, she will go through the same process every person in D&D Forgotten Realms go through. Having fought Devils and Demons and basically helped save the sword coast, she would easily be picked up by one of the "Good aligned deities. Im sure Tyr would like her, she got rid of impostor Paladins of Tyr. . Mystra might even take her, Lathander the broken god would sympathize with her. She certainly fits with Helm, and I could go on...
