I know what you mean, but tbh bittersweetness is kind of Cyberpunk's whole deal. This is DnD and god dammit if I can keep Gale's dumbass from going nuclear for doing something that was his own fault, I should be able to fix an engine.
Also that's a great point. My second largest problem with her (after robbing us of player agency) is that we have too many bittersweet endings for her, and adding just another variant of "Karlach's life still sucks" doesn't really rectify that. If there's going to be a tradeoff, it should be something that doesn't just cause her to want to return to Avernus again, because I bet good money if she romanced Tav she'd rather go to Avernus than not touch them.
