I actually think the RT act 3 spoiler companion decision makes perfect sense from a character standpoint. Yes, it's an incredibly stupid decision, but the character is naive, desperate, miserable, and gets played by someone who is experienced at manipulation. Owlcat isn't afraid to write flawed characters who don't cater to the player's power fantasy all the time, for which I am grateful. If Larian had say SH or Lae'zel do something like this, they'd be "fixing" her asap for not being the perfect dream waifu according to reddit.
As I've posted, I've not got to that companion incident yet but already (end of Ch. 1 or beginning of Ch. 2) I made a (iconoclast) decision to save as many people as possible from some planet or asteroid before it was overrun by the enemy. My other choices included nuking the planet or just me and my entourage getting off and leaving the planet and its people to their fate. I was later criticised for my choice to not destroy the place. Ooh, that Dark Urge is so baddass he murdered a person (singular).
My biggest annoyance with RT is that 'iconoclast' is being used incorrectly. They should have gone with 'pragmatist'.
Because it becomes a Daemon world. You comment earlier about it 'going against 40k lore' regarding a companion's betrayal is also wildly inaccurate. I think if you have reached the point where 'I don't like this' or 1 incidence of writing that's a bit clunky means the studio is worse at writing than a game where the main narrative is filled with so many plot holes to be nearly nonsensical, it's time to step away from the PC.
