Yeah. I think something that needs to be said is that the existing content for Karlach isn't *bad*. The scene with her talking about having the courage to be grateful even knowing she's dying soon actually made me tear up a bit. The writing for what *is* there is great, I think the existing endings should stay as options. And the fact Larian is listening and making changes is awesome and I applaud them for it, even if the first effort in this direction feels like it misses the mark a bit.
It just feels really, really bad that you're never given a chance to even *try* to solve the problem- even as the game shows you multiple perfectly plausible possible solutions- that's so frustrating. It's even more so when you compare it to the other companion quests, where there's almost always some way to address their problems. With Karlach, there just.... isn't any option to even try, and that's what makes people so frustrated with it. it feels like Karlach and the PC just give up immediately after Dammon says her engine is going to fail.
