No worries, this is the thread for disliking the dock scene afterall. ^^

The intent is to show that with the tadpole gone, he really isn't protected from sunlight or the other downsides of being a spawn anymore. But the comments from the other companions are unnecessary and turn something that should be dramatic into a joke. They are neither good for the scene, nor for the characters and I much prefer the version from the his Origin, where they all urge him on to take shelter.

I think Karlach's outburst after killing Gortash is alright the way it is, she is messed up in that moment and you aren't always most considerate at such occasions. What bothered me about it when playing as Astarion or Gale is the player dialogue, which can't portray a more nuanced understanding of the situation. Hearing that outburst when you are either the guy who just killed his master and took the emphatic path of letting everyone go or the other one who still also has a bomb in his chest and doesn't know what the next days may bring, hits differently. For my Origin-Gale it triggered the "if I was a decent person, I would use the orb to explode brain and crown and rid the world from such evil" spiral again. Good job, Karlach.

Edit: Though the infamous "I will protect you" line probably annoys me more than even the companion dialogue at the dock.
