Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Lae'zel is the most unlikable character ever created in any video game.

practically kills the netherbrain all by herself with a haste potion, and then just letting her loose to spin. She’s not somebody who lets you down, I can say that much. And I adore her. I’m not able to romance her because I have some severe Shadowheart brainrot, as they call it, haha. But Lae’zel is my second favorite character.

And I chose to persuade her to stay in Faerun and figure out what she wants to do with her life, apart from Vlaakith and Orpheus. In the epilogue, she seemed so happy. She had made a lot of new friends with whom she was fighting against Vlaakith’s forces on the Sword Coast, liberating creches. And she was raising the kid from the gith egg as her son. She said that she was raising him to choose his own destiny (a scholar or whatever he wanted to be, not a warrior brutalized like Lae’zel had been). Just like she had been able to determine her own destiny. I was tickled to death. (Btw another theme of breaking generational trauma anyone? Astarion lovers can get behind that.)

She really is a tremendous character and, you know, if you’re writing her off for shallow reasons, then you ought to think better of it. Lae’zel is an absolute boss, one of the best characters I’ve ever seen in a video game (also, love you Shadowheart), and nobody is going to convince me otherwise. Plus, it feels so GOOD when she greets you in the epilogue and calls you “old friend.” She is never not in my party.
