Yeah, I really wanna stay positivr for the company on general cause theyve aced so many other things in bg3 and other projects but that article was just like...wow i dont wanna use the term *tone deaf* caise im sure they had their reasons but its hard to see WHAT those reasons were. Its literally flys in thw face of the whole concept of their own game desogn of ,*player choice* id wish they just admitted it was a mistake on their part. But if thats a solid story element they wanna keep. Id be hard oressed to buy their next game at full price. Now if they DO fix karlachs engine in DE or dlc due to the outcry ill change my tune. But if this is it for her. Then that is just to much of a glaring inconsistency for me narrative wise
This is exactly the problem the whole game boasts about choice and player impact on the stories narrative only to hand you the sweet innocent slave soldier searching for freedom and rips her away saying yup she's gonna die nothing you can do do don't try it you might as well sell that infernal iron it won't save her anyway. I didn't think larian would be so utterly tone deaf to this situation that flies in the face of the games tone.
