Lae’zel herself has some choice words for all the haters out there.

    Me: “I could take Karlach along because she’s positive and approves of my choices… but I’d RATHER take Lae’zel because she has great banter with Shadowheart and Astarion.”

      The fun early party banter for me is listening to Wyll try to hit on Laezel, get shut down, then hit on Shadowheart and get refused because she’s not playing second fiddle to Lae’zel.

      I decided to just respec my favorite companions as needed to keep them in the party. So Karlach is a ranger now. She’s not as combat-effective as a rogue or bard, but it’s a lot less of a stretch for her background.

        Have you found rogues to be super combat-effective? I’ve been running Astarion consistently for traps and locks, and I’ve found that he really takes a backseat to my warlock and Minthara in combat. Provided he can get in position to hide and pull off a sneak attack, he’s more effective than Shadowheart, but only if I’m playing conservatively, i.e. trying not to use any of her spell slots.

        Uh… ranger 5 rogue 3 into fighter 6 ranger 3 rogue 3 is one of the best dps comboes, with two hand crossbows and the sharpshooter feat, scaling dex.

      Which of course is a valid choice too. Personally I prefer the banter of other companions but that’s just subjective 🤷

        I’m having fun with her in my evil party. Next run she won’t fit in but I’m enjoying her character. I wouldn’t know there were haters if it weren’t for the articles lol.

          Same here on the last point lol, found out via this post existing! Hating an OPTIONAL character is such a weird thing to insist on telling the world over and over 🤦😂
