Lae'zel tops my list of BG3 MVPs. She got a hook in early and just never let go
Best Companion Character in a supporting role for me, no contest. Like sure Shadowheart and everyone else was nominated, of course, but Lae'zel takes home the tiny statue in my head hehe. The chaos and the battle maneuvers - she's got it all! For me BG3 takes the GOAT mostly on the Strength of Lae'zel. It was basically her, Scratch, and the apostle of Myrkul that sold me on this one. Then Jaheira to ice it!
The saddest thing to me about no BG4 is that I won't get to see Lae'zel hit level 20 and take it all the way. Like some sort of face off with Vlaakith and Tiamat, that just goes off the deep end into Dragon lore?! I honestly think she could carry a sequel all by herself if she had to. I wish there was a such a thing as the Githyanki Warrior's stronghold, like with a training ground and trophy wall that looks like that scene from Predator 2 lol. Or where we maybe get to see the captured Neogi Spelljammer on full display. The tale of the Red Comet feels like it could be a cool level 13+ campaign where the other companions could get in on the mix, since everyone is basically a demi god already, a planar adventure to the far realms would have been fun. A visit to Tu'narath, just so we can hear the Narrator say it again! One could wish right
