I'll take an awesome re-written Karlach story with a good ending in a year over a band aid fetch quest tomorrow, easy.
Same. I’d rather sit and wait and get a really fulfilling story arch for Karlach, in which she gets the attention to writing and the PATH to the ending is as rich and developed as the other origins.
I see people saying “but this character’s story too…” but I suppose none of these people cared to actually look at the quest log. Try taking a look at all other origins’ quest logs after the endgame, and then Karlach’s. The difference is absurd.
Also, most of you are concerned as Karlach as a companion, but I’d like to remember how broken her writing is currently if you try and play her as avatar:
- She mentions not being able to touch, but she touches animals and people (shakes Gale’s hand, holds Thulla, pets Scratch, the list goes on) - She can’t have sex with others - and the dialogue acknowledges that at first, but then immediately contradicts itself and says she has slept with other characters when she could not possibly have
The continuity of her writing is all over the place as avatar. If someone had played as her at least once (while paying attention), they’d immediately notice all the mistakes and contradictions… And some of those, at least, are problems that can be either fixed or at least attenuated by changing the dialogue text, or tweaking some words.
She was the second most played origin, so I hope Larian is working to fix these writing problems.
Then, for her full fleshed out quest, I truly hope they won’t decide to “die on that hill” just because they’ve already said so. Her quest as is has all the markings for another ending option, so even if it takes a year, I hope they’ll make use of it and give her a storyline as rich as the others.
