Ulma was downright rude everywhere in the game. Mind you, I have played D&D tabletop for a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG time, have the originals in book form, and know quite a bit of lore. I have played multiple ways in the game. I don't much care for other companions to romance, the only one I actually liked was Astarion's romance. That is just my personal choice. There have been many people with labels, that is the annoying part. It starts to get too much into the headcanon of it all when people state one way or another someone is innocent (uhhh, not even Tav is innocent, not even the cats in the game are innocent...LOL) and also put labels of you played evil. Actually no, the campaign I was thinking of was to let them all have what they wanted, and play with just Astarion and I in the game, the rest stayed at camp because I was really tired of their judgy mocking tones as well. Especially after 15 campaigns to try out the different ways Larian made the classes. I brought them out for their quests, let them do their thing, and put their happy little butts back into camp. So.
Faerun is a difficult place. You can't push judgments for labels. Innocent or guilty. Who is to say they were good or bad either? The point is to have fun and enjoy it. I do find if you are talking lore, you have to choose your words carefully though. Even a chaotic neutral can use it against you....let's see what happens if I do this: hehehehe.
And not all of the book lore is on the web, those are people who also put a little word twisting in the text. I enjoy the whole aspect of D&D and you can make it however you want for your own campaign. Even a homebrew character. Larian did change some of the dialogue for different paths if you did complete a character's personal quest first prior to doing other things. Still doesn't change the fact that no matter which path you choose, or who you romance, none of it is "bad" unless the character left you for your choices or they end up dead due to your choices.
When you use words that cast judgements though, that makes it more judgy, so please....choose your words more carefully. Discuss, laugh, have fun. I will be right here, watching. Always watching.
And for those that get it, hopefully, you will laugh at the joke. Just play nice, everyone (at least while discussing this topic in this forum).
