I found in the datamined dialogues an interesting conversation you can have with jaheira after the gortash confrontation scene (and by interesting i mean depressing lol)
Its kinda disheartening that not only does jaheira also feed us the ''we did everything we could'' bullshit but the devnotes reinforce this, some devnote examples being ''jaheira listing all of the things karlach deserves but wont get. All our good intentions wont help karlach and lying about it to ourselves wont help'' and ''returning to avernus would save karlach but would also return her to slavery. [jaheira] respects what karlach wants''. The one that really got me boiling was the devnote saying ''stop looking for a point in this, its just shitty and unfair'' lmao, way to shut down players for wanting to find a solution in a crpg game where other companions (see, gale) get miracle fixes. In general the doomer-like tone of ''we cant do anything for her sorry'' here is pretty infuriating.
Also the line about returning to avernus makes the patch 2 avernus ending more confusing, like why make it look so badass and empowering if for the entirety of the game its made clear karlach 1) doesnt wanna go back and 2) returning to avernus equals going back to slavery? This is all such a inconsistent mess.
(This conversation can be found in Dialogs/Companions/Jaheira_InParty_Nested_TopicalGreetings.html, if anyone else wants to read it and check the devnotes)
Who are these devnotes intended to be read by? Feels like a really weird lack of awareness there.
