Karlach's dialogue needs urgent rewrite

[Raymond]

Sexy design, great voice acting, cool concept for her backstory, she got everything she needs to be a lovable character. 5 lines into her dialogue tho, the first thought in my mind was "do I really want to dismiss Gale to make room for her?"
She doesn't sounds like someone who was forced to be a battle slave in hell for 10 years, she sounds like someone who talk about SOMEONE ELSE who was forced to be a battle slave in hell for 10 years. Whoever wrote her dialogue need to stop writing and find another career.

Dissociation is a common trauma response. Repression is another one.

Oh, and maybe don't judge the entire character by 5 lines of dialogue? She's well-written, if you take the time to get to know her.

[Lonetac]

ok.

Everyone. Stop everything and do what someone who has only experienced 30 seconds of a character says is the best thing to do. This is of urgent importance. Also, fire who wrote the first five lines of dialogue. We have it on expert opinion that this ruins the entirety of the game they haven't experienced yet.

Not remotely urgently needed.

Oh boy howdy. Wait till you spend the next 100 hours with her complaining about an easily solvable problem that you're willing to help her solve but then she gets pissy with you for suggesting she solve it with your help. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

(Seriously she repeats the same conversation something like 5 times, maybe more).

you are right, I shouldn't have judged her by the first 5 lines of dialouge. It got worse after the first 5 lines and ruin Wyll's story in the process. Now I just ignore her and Wyll ever existed at all.

[talemore]

Wyll: I was chasing Karlack from hell to baldur's gate and back to hell again. Those lives taken can never be repaid. A demon with infernal engine ravaging the lands. I fear for the lives of the people and having nightmares at night dreaming about the victims she soon to take.
Wyll meets Karlack. Now you die Wyll.

- Karlack = It's fine, Wyll is welcome to cut off my head.

- Wyll: she was innocent, Karlack was only a minor murderhobo. Did I missjudge Jack the ripper for a serial killer?

You don't know enough about the game or the characters to make those assertions.

Wyll was going by a contract given to him by Mizora. Hope this clears up why he had a change of heart. Mizora used fine print in a contract to trick him into running down someone who is obviously a tiefling and not demon. It's explained pretty explicitly in the game too. Probably don't skip text or half read it? Try to really absorb more than just the broad details.

Karlach being "Heartless" was the fineprint.
