Man, Lae'Zel is a ♥♥♥♥♥.

[Kain]

They really went ham in making her dislikeable.

[Coffee Addict]

she becomes very likable when you stick a blade in her neck

[Blame]

Githyanki are, by lore, an evil race. She is quite literally a proud, bloodthirsty space nazi. So she's bound to be... Abrasive.

Though if you give her time, her character may have some nice growth, so don't be quick to dismiss her on first impressions.

[dan]

She's just being tsundere.

The growth doesn't make it any better, I rather tolerate the other 5 pointy ears than her past act 2.

Yeah I dropped her when you meet her the second time. But if I remember dnd stuff from NWN2 and or their lore, the githyanki are essentially religious zealous who do nothing but raid and fight other realms/planes because they seek the constant approval of their dommy mommy.

I keep losing her and Astarion's approval

[Flavour Bun]

She's a grumpy tsundere and it's wonderful. I don't believe she's a racist either, she just has an intense dislike for things she deems weak, based on her belief of what being strong means.

Not too far in the game though so my opinion may change eventually.

[Brakiros]

The githyanki in cannon are so vicious that they murdered the Illithid Empire that covered the entirety of cosmos. They're also ruled by an immortal queen who is on the same level as a god. And also don't forget they're also connected to the primal goddess of Tiamat who is raw chaos incarnate and also takes the shape of a red dragon. The very same dragons the gith use as mounts

[Morgian]

But they hit the githanki pretty well. Keep in mind that they are evil in the original lore. They were the former slaves of the mindflayers until they rebelled under Giths leadership. They are almost as arrogant as their former masters when it comes to other races. They are way more racist than the other half of the race, the githzerai, who were originally LN. They split up over philosophical differences between Gith and Zerthimon.
We have one good githzerai companion in Planescape: Torment, the warrior-mage Dak'kon. He acts as mentor to the Nameless One, and explains over the course of the game the philosophy of his race.

In that regard they hit the nail with Lae'zel. She is arrogant, racist, slightly evil, and convinced she is always right. They keep the company of red dragons, who are CE, so you can expect them to be somewhat like their "pets".

She's a gith. Gith are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. In fact, she's actually the most like-able Gith I have ever seen in a game or module.

I think it's how people think the Alt Right are.. I love her attitude, just don't see a use for her in combat. I've found she needs a strong hand and will to bend her to be personable. Astarion as well really, he likes to be bent over a barrel. Often I just leave him tied up there.

[Cuddle_Rat]

I learned to hate the Githyanki in Neverwinter Nights 2 sooooo...I just kinda ignore her antics at this point.

[GIGA-MAN]

No spoilers, but the route I went with her with romance made her a bit better, still lae'zel though. The more you get to know her the more it makes sense why she is the way she is, then like with all other companions, you can help push them certain directions especially with high approval ratings.

[Euphoria]

Well, my paladin has killed 3 *party* members so far. 4th one about to happen, I'm not gonna ally with a filthy drow.

They sure didn't intend trhis campaign to be played with good characters. No wonder they did away with alignments.

Well, that's alright. There are plenty of other companions to choose from
