This above all. In general I am starting to get a Karlach problem that gets worse every play-through, the amount of effort the game puts into making you and all the companions like her, is disproportional to the attention the other characters get, especially those who share similar problems to her's. I mean look at the drama her exploding gets compared to the way Gale goes out, if you choose to blow him up. Besides the whole Astarion burning in the sun issue.
The more the game blatantly attempts to make me care for her, while not giving the same attention to other characters who also have these problems, the more I get put off by her character.

I would do the same in my future second playthrough with my Tav, were she not the perfect candidate for the heroic sacrifice, because she became expendable to me after taking Gortash's deal and her story makes her look like a cannon fodder character in the first place. Funnily enough, I cared more about the guy who I could finally chat with for the very first time (through Lae'zel's story) than someone who had been with me since act 1. Even that epilogue tries to make her as likeable as possible.
