Also in hindsight, it doesn't really impact the player experience of the game.

So you save thaniel which lifts the shadow curse? Except you never get to see that happen. Its only referenced in a cutscene or such once you get into act 3, and then you can't even go back in the game to see the shadow curse removed.

Regarding feeling 'emotionally connected', I don't feel that in video games and personally don't care about it, nor the excessive in most games nowadays character chatting and romance stuff. I get that these are the reasons other people need to play games, I've always thought 'If you want a story, then watch a film or read a book?'.

The only thing I care for is the gameplay, personally I feel like I messed up rescuing Karlach because its just +1 whiny brat in my camp that I need to tend to her every emotional need. I'd rather play with a full custom party and just kill all the companions so I don't have to deal with their baggage.
