So... I just read that Larian now completely butchered the lore and they changed Lae'zel. Apparently she's okay now with staying with... Illithid. Which is beyond laughable.
But okay, let me get this straight, as of now:
- Minthara is broken to hell beyond acceptable levels.
- Karlach is also now broken and some people can't even start her romance. Her banter is broken too for some people.
- Shadowheart is broken, her "new banter" doesn't trigger at all and her hair color changes randomly during romance scene. Shar idol kiss has been broken for months.
- Larian also refuses to change anything regarding Shadowheart for her Selunite and DJ path, but they are totally okay with changing lore for Lae'zel for some reason.
Well, it looks like to me that Larian doesn't really pay much attention to female love interests.
The Lae'zel part is a huge wtf to me. It makes zero sense. Literally unnecessary as some people do have their own limits and this is Lae'zel's, I don't know what was the reasoning for that.
And yeah, no banter is triggering for me either at all, they start becoming silent throughout act 2 to 3 and I prefer to have an all lady party. They don't even talk much about the city while walking, Minthara still doesn't interact with any of them when you get her with you on road. I only managed to get ONE dialogue triggered about refugees between Minthara and Shadowheart.
Pretty disheartening, I sure hope it's just a bug and not a fact that your companions don't talk much after act 1, banter - wise.
