Should i kill KARLACH or keep her?
Right now i play with to many casters i think.. so i could need a barbarian..
but i saw on youtube that you get a cool rare robe if you kill her. is it better to save her or is that armor you get if you kill her game changing? i use shadowheart whyll and gale while me myself is a sorcerer.. was thinking bout changing out whyll for the theifling of you people consider the armor that whyll gets be crappy.

Keep her. There is no material item worth someone's life. (Now if they are deliberately trying to end yours or someone elses. Well then by all means.

As far as I know, unless provoked, Karlach doesn't fit in that catagory.

I would ditch Gale. He's a pain in the ass with his feed me magical items BS. You're also already a sorcerer, so you can take his spot as the caster.

Definitely take Karlach. I know she looks like a demon, but she's actually a beautiful person on the inside. She's kind and caring, and the simplest things we all take for granted are important to her. She also dishes out amazing frontline melee damage.

She and Wyll have an interesting dynamic between them as well that's worth playing out, so I'd keep Wyll.

You probably can, but Minthara is the opposite of Karlach, I can't see them getting along with each other. Minthara is beautiful on the outside, but a hideous person, while Karlach looks like a demon, but is a wonderful person.

Tempted to kill her when we first met. Then I kept her around as a barbarian buddy for my party (my composition is me: Barbarian, her (Barbarian), Githy (Fighter), and Mr Rogue). Since then I've not had to change my party up at all.

I'd say keep her. As a plus, Wyll is getting "horn-y" :steammocking:

Also, she and Wyll are "the good guys", so it's nice to have them around IMHO.

To be honest I thought Gale will be a problem with his "gonna eat your magic items" schtick but you find plenty of artifacts he can eat. Sure you may miss out on some money by selling them but this can be easily solved anyway. So he is not that much of a problem to keep alive.

Karlach is lovable lug. Even when she disagrees with you she can be quite amusing(try opening "necronomicon" with her in the party).

Yea, especially if you're trying to go lightside on this playthrough, you wanna go Karlach. She's an absolute sweetheart.

Oh for sure, it's not the worst thing to have Gale in your party, he's an inconvenience, not a deal breaker. I only singled him out because he's already got magic covered as a sorcerer.
Agreed on Karlach, she's adorable, I love her.

Stop meta gaming and start role playing.

What kind of character are you? What are your motives? What values do you have? If you're running around killing people because you heard you could get special items if you did, you're not actually playing the game.

Try seeing where the game can take you if you embody your character as if they were a real living thing.

It has big consequences to do either, just roll with the story that makes sense for your character.

You can change anyone's class with Withers. So if that's your only hold up, go ahead.

Omg keep her. She's my favorite
