I'm also disappointed at the lack of companion reaction to proof of the Absolute plot, Karlach and Gale especially.

I would love to be able to realize the consequences of the Act 2 explosion in advance, if we found enough information and passed some sort of intelligence or wisdom check. I would like my character to give Gale a better reason to not explode. Lots of the dialogue options to convince him not to do it boil down to, "Trust me bro, power of friendship." The collateral being so much higher than he had been led to believe seems more persuasive to me.
