I must say, it's been interesting following the past couple of pages. Sudden influx of people who would die on the hill that is "Karlach deserves to die because tragedy is storytelling and she's doomed and sometimes shit just be like that".

Okay, let's for a second give the fellas a moment shall we. Indulge me, please, why don't you.

To those who choose to still think that Karlach deserves to die or go back to hell, despite everything my friends have said so eloquently multiple times over, I want to ask: Why do you believe she deserves to die? How would the option of furthering the quest with Dammon and the Gondians hurt the overall story? How would a late Act 3 quest and success in making her able to durvive on the material plane make the story worse? Especially if the choices we have now remain, as that is what we've said all along we want.

Why does (specifically) Karlach deserve to die? Why doesn't Gale? Why doesn't Astarion? Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Wyll?

Why do you think that she, specifically, deserves to die? Why does it have to be her? Why is it better she dies than we try to use the items and allies already implemented in the game to try and help her?

This is a genuine question and we know the answers to the opposite, because we've 103 pages of those. Now all I've heard from "the opposition" is that it should *just be* like that. Because. Because sometimes shit happens to good people.

But aren't the other companions good people? Who are we to decide that Karlach's just the odd one out, even when compared to the temporaries?
