For instance; you could, hypothetically, enter Act 3, head directly to Gortash, kill him within the first 15 minutes of the final act, get Karlachs monologue and the quest log will say "We tried everything we could" BEFORE YOU EVEN ENTER THE CITY.

Larian would have to be full, top to bottom, of the most incompetent game developers possible for them to think that is ok.

Karlach was a very late addition to the game. She was not available as a companion in the EA, nor was she visible in any promotional artwork (meaning they didn't even envision her as a companion at the start of development). Hell, her appearance was only finalized a few weeks before launch. Given how little time they had to develop her, they went with the simplest story possible: collect 2 items and die, lol. I don't think any writer is happy with that "story". They simply wrote what they could in the limited time they had. Keep in mind that the character needed to be integrated into existing quests, so the writers' hands were tied. They almost certainly weren't allowed to write new quests as the dev team wouldn't have time to implement them.
