I think Karlach is pretty :)

Unfortunately, as her Infernal Engine was made in Avernus, what's necessary to fix it can only be found on that plane.

what about the tons of infernal steel you find in the game AND the robots made with the same motor, even one made with a perfected motor. IMHO they wanted to give her a bad ending

Shadowheart is my favorite, followed closely by Minthara. Karlach is so huggable and I want to be besties with her, but romance... I want to actually be with the person and spending my days in hell fighting demons isn't exactly 'romantic'. Haven't romanced Laezel yet. Of the guys... I tried Asterion and I felt... really conflicted.

what did you like about that ending?

Sometimes, ♥♥♥♥ is just damaged beyond repair. This is like asking why the engineers who designed the Titanic couldn't fix it as it was sinking.

We can argue whether the existing endings for Karlach make sense, and I doubt we'll ever agree.
What I will say is that it felt badly-written to me, especially compared to any of the other origin characters' stories.
Look at the amount of effort you can put into helping *every* other origin character with their problems. You can fight a powerful vampire and his whole coven, you can take on a temple full of worshipers of an evil and vindictive goddess, you can literally invade Hell itself to steal a powerful artifact from a devil in his own home.
But Karlach? Nah. Nothing. Once Dammon says the engine is going to fail, everyone just accepts that as the unquestionable truth and totally gives up on any solution instantly. There is no point in the story where you can make any active effort to do anything about the problem.
That's arguably very out of character for Karlach (she survived 10 years in Hell and clawed her way out, then just instantly gives up?) and it was *wildly* out of character for the Tav I was playing, but I was simply never given any opportunity to even *try* to help.
The epilogue they added in Patch 5 helps, but it still feels bizarre to me.
It's not enough to stop me liking her character, story, and romance a lot, but it did feel like one of the weakest parts of the writing to me.

I don't think you can in this particular instance, no.

Surprising. I'd look up a vid, but I'm not sure I need the spoilers.

I suspect part of the DLC they were working on but abandoned was breaking into the Zariel armory to retrieve the fix she needs for her engine. Maybe we would have got to meet the infamous "Flo". But it will never be done now.

Not by Larian, anyway. At least the Epilogue made one of her possible endings seem less hopeless.

I think she just asks you if you wanna try something, but doesn't say WHAT it is. And once she gets started, it's a little late.

Minthara is the most interesting one in my opinion.

Astarion is fine as well but I don't like how the romance is written in this game with all the companions asking you out one after the other, with not much relationship build-up before hand.

I find all the others insufferable, especially Karlach. Good thing you can do the "beheading by mistake" thing. To bad I cant get ride of Wyll and keep Mizora around.

there's alot of sub men here that seem to like a dommy mommy

[wbino]

Really slim picking for a straight male and likes the female form.

[Ronin Gamer]

Shadowheart and Karlach would be my top picks. Gun to my head, shadowheart.

As a male character, Minthara. As a female character...none, I find the male companions to be pathetic, and unworthy of any female character.

Muting you.

Muting you, REALLY dumb take.

Shadowheart #1, Kralach #2 and a one night stand with Lae'zel.

Or confident men who can handle a woman who could snap them like a twig.

Both can be present and there's nothing wrong with either.
