But these are the same writers who saw karlach burning alive on a dock or giving up her soul and free will to become a mind flayer and said yup that's gonna go great with the fantasy game. They aren't the best is all I'm saying
Not only "gonna go great", but the dock scene was their vision from the beginning, apparently.
That was the worst part of that interview how can they be so tone deaf on their own game and characters its so easy to fix this situation.
