They picked Dame Aylin? OK, she did have a cool cutscene. I would have taken a closer look at Lakrissa, who was a much warmer and more fun character. I liked Lakrissa from the first dialog where we made a bet. Aylin does have an important thematic component, but I think it derives more from her hundred years of imprisonment and repeated ... uh, what's a good word here ... "violation" by her captors, rather than from her relations with anyone else. I kind of felt like Larian backed off a bit on Aylin's recovery story. It would have been interesting to see her work through the Stockholm Syndrome effect, for example. So anyway, yes Larian deserves accolades, but my choice in this category goes to Lakrissa.
