I also remember you posting about keeping all Durge "innocents" killed in your camp chest.
Oh yeah! My overattachment-to-NPCs;
Minthara knew it best until she became officially available

Don't get me started on Lae'Zel. In one of my playthroughs, the Inquisitor fight almost killed my entire party. I ended up killing everyone with just Gale. When I had Gale go back and resurrect the party, Lae'Zel stabbed Gale in the back. I was so annoyed, I immediately had Astarion stab her to death, then carried her in my backpack the rest of the game. I wasn't trying to skip her story, I was literally trying to longrest and get everyone healed up, BEFORE going into the Astral Prism.
After that ordeal, I kill her in every run. On my honour mode playthrough, Orin kidnapped Lae'Zel, and after the Orin battle, I just left Lae'Zel tied to the table. I have noticed if you kill Lae'Zel early or she follows Vlaakith, you have WAY less Githyanki encounters. In Act 2, I didn't get ambushed on the bridge before Baldur's Gate waypoint, and in Act 3, Voss doesn't ambush you if you don't save Orpheus.
Actually now that you mention it Lae'zel truly is a freaking wild cannon to have in Honour Mode. Literally the only companion who can end your run entirely if she turns against you at the Creche or at the very end. That butt-clenching moment where I had to waste x3 inspiration points with ADVANTAGE to persuade her against the Inquisitor was insane, I couldn't believe the terrible rolls.
Never felt so afraid of her in my life because if she turned against me in that moment it would've been game over since she's built as a crowd-control raging monster in my playthrough;
So as someone who actually did end up losing an Honour Mode because of her, I understand the pain quite well;
I *LOVE* that screenshot. I also play drow (or Tiefling), and Orin's carapace + what color dye is that(?) = *chefkiss* I like how she even matches the color of the brain throne xD I've been meaning to post on your Transmog thread. I need this, miss-matched armor looks like butt.
I know, right!

Mismatched aesthetics and not being able to look the part sucks balls! I really wanted her to perfectly match the throne for the Chosen Durge ending, so I intentionally wasted my own turn during the brainy fight to quickly strip her down and swap to Orin's carapace (
[Harlequin Black and White Dye]) before delivering the final blow. Talk about priorities in battle, gotta look presentable for world domination as Father's Chosen
