Viconia, although I suspect that she died more often than not in BG1 and BG2, still had some following as the resident edgelady. Hence her resurrection in BG2 (where you had 10-20 seconds to react to keep her alive) after saving her in BG1 (dialogue to prevent her summary execution for murder by LEO).
As I vividly remember her battlecry of "Nightsinger, give me strenght!" the cracked faced angel in BG3 rubs me the wrong way.
One of the very best moments in BG2 for me that I will never forget is Viconia's death.
As a D&D noob, I had both Viconia and Kheldorn in my party. They squabbled as we went along, but my naive Cleric of Lathander thought it was ok as she was constantly smoothing things over. Then one day we were walking down the street, and Kheldorn just randomly gibs Viconia with Carsomyr. There was nothing left to resurrect.
