But nope none of that mattered cause in the end her story was predetermined from the moment you find her my the creek. It gutted me for weeks I had to stop playing the game it was just so pointless in how tragic it was compared to the others like you said. It's why im hoping for a happy ending to bring her into Line with the others.
Glad to know I’m not the only one in this boat.
Little secret…I didn’t finish my Karlach playthrough because of this. I keep it in a separate save file, paused at Act 2, until I can find a way. Otherwise, I just can’t do it. I’ve watched every spoiler video, read every typed script of dialogues I find, but I can’t finish the playthrough. The spoiler vids of her ending were so difficult that I stopped playing for a week the first time.
