No offense, Blackheifer, but both Viconia and Sarevok are just badly written, especially after previous Baldur's Gate games.

From what I have heard Baldur's Gate novels released by WOTC are just as bad and killed off Jaheira or something, for which they were rightfully mocked.

You come across as someone who only saw one part of the character and gave up on them. It’s the same shit with people killing Laezel or others, because they didn’t immediately like them.

If you replaced both V and S with greater doppelgangers, it would be better overall. Hell, S especially makes no sense, even endings aside. He wanted to take Bhaal's power for himself, when did he become a loyal attack dog for a father figure he hated???

As for Viconia wanting to die... did you even get a single dialogue with her? She rejected Loth, clawed her way out of the coffin and suddenly wants to die because she was turned into a carricature of her own? Just... no. Simply horrible, garbage interpretation of characters to excuse Larian's Terrible writing of these characters.
