I don't know what Larian's intentions are but I do like the conversations you can have with her, especially if you play a "good" characters. Her arguments are usually fuelled by reason and encourage you to consider your own actions and decisions more thoroughly and maybe get another perspective on what's going on. I hope her interactions with Avatar-Gale have been fixed by now, she has by far one of the best takes on the whole Crown situation - alas, that was bugged on my patch 6 adventure.
