That being said though I'm not sure why they'd need to rewrite the whole concept that just doesn't make sense. Adding on a whole area for her to get the cure or fix from that is something I could see if they want to make her feel more like an origin character but that wouldn't require a rewrite at all.
You’re not sure because it really doesn’t make any sense. You, and others, have explained that adnauseum for pages, and it’s clear enough for any casual visitors to the thread.
In the meantime, I’m wondering about which areas for her to get a cure would be better. Damon’s upgraded forge is there, and it’s awesome as has been noted, and the Gondians or Ironworks are also easy possibilities, but the House of Hope could always have an option.
I’m not sure if there are tangible differences here or if it would boil down to what simply makes for a better story?
I kinda liked an idea I saw that Damon even with his upgraded forge still needs special tools to properly work on the engine. That could lead to The group going to what's left of elturel to get his special tools or raid the demon forge he was at while working on infernal machinery. Something similar could be done with the gondians like even with all their skill they need special infernal tools to work on the engine. It could boil to any number of things I don't have a real idea personally but Damon would likely be the road they take.

Game awards usually take an aggregate of the reviews to make their decision. So they make their first act excellent with plenty of choice then flop the rest of it only to possibly fix it later. They did this with the other game of theirs I played Divinity 2 where I was very excited after the first and to a lesser extent second act only to get to the final part and feel really unfulfilled.
What’s worse as a citizen of the Isle of Rain and Misery I do love nautical stuff so of course my favourite character was Beast who was the one they selected to get shafted.
From what I understand they fixed him a year later but by then I had moved on because although their policy of being silent is VERY smart from a business standpoint as often situations are made many times worse by bad PR management (see Mass Effect 3) it basically forces you to just move on and forget.
And THEY BLOODY DID IT AGAIN, they gave me an adorable working class lass with a London accent and decided she would be an excellent subject for some railroaded misery porn.
I was ranting to my scouse mates about how good the game was and how I had heard some scouse accents finally giving them some representation (while laughing that they were of course bandits and shady dealers) only to get slapped in the face after I realised they had done it again and somehow picked the character I liked to be the butt-monkey.
Perhaps they will fix it in a years time, perhaps they will double down and insist that this is excellent story telling and we’re just too stupid and sensitive to appreciate their genius.
It wouldn’t be as bad but they hire god tier voice actors that really make you care for the characters… Whatever, I’ll shut up and wait if they just this once break their silence policy and tell us they’re working on something but meh if not Larian are going on the Bethesda / BioWare pile for me.
This is alot of what kills me is karlach is everything I love wrapped into one character and I was so ready to enjoy her full story until I found out the truth. I'm really hoping for news after the game awards with this being their biggest hit and them saying dlc isn't off the table makes me hopeful we're gonna hear news sooner rather than later
