I kill Lae'zel everytime I start a new game

[David]

She is super unlikeable that I will never side with her and end up killing her or going different directions.

[Lord Adorable]

Bae'Zel would actually approve of this.

[JustinGayme.TTV]

I totally agree she doesnt come off well but hear me out.

IF you use your tadpole or you roll perception several times with her throughout the game, you learn that her hard exterior is hiding a huge fear that she will never live up to the expectations of her society. Shes insecure and puts on a mask.


No, this does not justify being a jerk ill give ya that. But i do think it shows some potential ways of redemption and loyalty. She thinks of her way of life is superior... the githyanki patrol fight may be the beginning of her descent to a bit of humility.

She is one of the best companions out of the five currently available. If you don’t play a melee as your main character she is damn near essential to your party.

Weird way to spell Shadowheart

Shadowheart is only alright, being a Trickster Domain Cleric. She's even better when you build her to nuke things with Guiding Bolt and Inflict Wounds instead of turning her into a sub-par healbot.

But that's Clerics in general. In 5e they're kinda nuts. Radiance of the Dawn from Light Clerics alone turns them into walking bombs and it is beautiful.

I agree with above post. The only thing that I Feel particularly unique out of shadowheart so far is cure wounds (or whatever the ranged heal is). i dont use the melee one.

Im not saying she doesnt have unique or useful stuff but I find potions to be completely sufficient substitute for shadowheart (did you know you can throw potions at teammates to heal them)?

[Ari]

Shes the best character and my favorite. But, that's your choice. I kill Astarion every new game.

[Hairy Coo]

Racist towards Gith, are we? For shame.

[Nihrahk]

I don't mind her myself. I'm kind of undecided on how I feel about her as of now, I need to know more of her story until I make my decision.

Astarion I don't like at all as of now. I try to like him, but I find him pretty annoying. I hope he gets better in act 2, but if he doesn't get better then I'm handing him over to that monster hunter in every playthrough.

[Farsha]

Well, that it your problem.
She has very good stats, her racial abilities give fighter really good movement options (mage hand, jump, misty step) and Battle master is rally strong sub-class that with her great-weapon focus hits like a truck.
She's pretty much optimal fighter.

[Hairy Coo]

I mean, she is Lawful Evil, not sure what you expected. I find most Good characters too boring in games like that, usually having evil or at least neutral in my party.

Other then wyll, she probably my most liked companion. She comes across as the most honest, she seems like an onion of a character, that is she seems to have layers.

The vamp guy is the guy I kill right off. He comes across as too self centered and selfish. Plus he seems to thieve constantly with no regard to others.

I wish there was more options on how to deal with his transgressions. They sort of keep playing off that what he does isn't a big deal, despite crossing norms that would have dire consequences.

I think the only companion worthy of death on first encounter is Astarion. Lae'zel atleast helped you get off the ship, that's more than enough cause to spare her in my eyes.

To be fair, anyone who didn't immediately try to kill him or tell him to ♥♥♥♥ off would likely be willing to tolerate his antics. Accepting him after he tried to trick and have his way with you is quite the barrier for entry.

[buttawise]

I do the same thing with Astarion. Stealth behind and hit him with a Guiding Bolt or Sneak Attack. I don't even talk to him anymore.

[Rusted Metal]

i kill all the companions except for gale which i just never talk too.
