I still didnt see much of the dialog, i usually pick the lines that encourage him to stand by himself in a healthy way (not the ones about mantaining the master-slave dynamic, i feel like i have to clarify that here, not to you directly). I think the real freedom in life is accepting yourself in a way that you dont "need" any kind of relationship to feel complete. It's a real danger to, instead of working on the autonomy of an abused person, create a dependant relationship, where you are "the protector" putting yourself above the other. I like the line he says about loving each other as equals. That's what i feel is most healthy and liberating.
And, well, love doesnt need to last forever? Another misconception... either can tire of the other, that's just life. Maybe in a year they hate each other x)
So yeah, i understand! I play as an old-ish elf? so yep, Id like to say to him "i will do my best to help you find a cure" (because its what he wants to do, if he's not lying) but you know... we better hurry?
I wanted to love Karlach so bad! im a metalhead, and i was born with her name, so everyone was, oooh you are gonna love her. But i suppose i am in an age stage that... i feel more like her parent than her friend, so her tantrums tire me more than anything. If that treat you mention is so important to her, maybe is the player that could have a couple more reactions to choose from. Like, i understand that you are angry, let's talk whenever you are less mad, i am always open to have a chat if you want, and then leave.
Thank you so much for the link! - yeah the internet is THIRSTY, my campaign buddy played the entire act 3 in the angelic robes, so... yep, it is what it is.
