I *REALLY* dislike Karlach

[Dragonirian]

Her while dialogue is extremely modernised, written as a mix of an empowered marvel character that can do no wrong and of an average redditor.

Her model is definitely an upgrade over the EA placeholder, but her inflated face and haircut remind me of an average American political activist Karen.

Her personality is extremely soft and friendly to such a degree it feels fake, constantly speaking about how she likes everyone and supports everyone, as if she doesn't have her own opinion and just repeats stuff after others in different words. This goes entirely against her premise - a wild barbarian that can literally burn everything around her with rage. She is supposed to be volatile with her character - everything suggests that - but she is just marvel-type chill all the time which, I repeat, feels fake and cringe.

Cutting her head off every playtrough from now on.

I personally think that the character is written just fine.
It seems that the was a quite nice and gentel person, loyal but still a strong one which was dragged into a murderhole of 10 years slaughter and pain... now comming back out and feeling the urge to get 10 lost years back... I dont know...

The new cringe Netflix one, yes

Despite it's obvious short comings, that is very much in line with the comics.

Karlach is fine, though a bit too much on the horny side.

so you basically laugh about the blood wars. the core of what makes the game worth playing?
this ain't marvel man. it's that way =>

I've never experienced what she's like. With every character I just kill her on sight, because the paladins deem her a menace and give me a sword for doing it.

They're not Paladins though, unfortunately. They're Zariel cultists who enjoy hurting people.

Now that makes it extra funny.

Where did I say anything about what you've just said? If you're going to read into things, I'd advise not to make up things and then accuse others of said thing.

All I did say was that Karlach is a tad too horny. Nothing more and nothing less. If you read too much into that, well, that's on you, friend.

Uhm ?
And Since when are "YOU" the one who decides what her Character should be ????

No Offense to You Mate.
But the Personality and Behavior of these Characters is for their Creators to Decide.
Not for You.

They are exactly as they Should be. Because its Larian Studios which decides what the Character should be like and which made the Character to be like that.
You dont get a Say in this.

You dont like it ?
Well. Then dont lol.
I dont like the Laezel and Astarion. And mostly they end up Dead in my Playthroughs xD
Nobody Forces You to like a Character. ;)

This is it. The worst take

I am trying my hardest to read it as a rap song. But there is no rhyme.

You are welcome to your opinion. I am of the opinion that Karlach is precious and must be protected.

Personalities don't have to follow a specific archetype. That's called shallow characterization. A flaming barbarian that accidentally scares off an owlbear cub because she can't control herself over how cute she finds it is a lot more complex than <INT 3 Barbarian #37986>.

But, considering your post history, I doubt you like anything that isn't an idealized, cookie cutter stereotype.

[Giggity]

She tries too hard to be an edgy girl. It's like, oooooh, careful you don't cut yourself with all that edge!
But seriously, she's my least favorite too. She was written like an annoying dudebro but with lady parts and a voice that, if cancer made a sound, would sound juuuust like Karlach.

[PocketYoda]

Karlach is like over 9000 better than Astarion.. God if i never hear him talk again it will be too soon.

is this satire?

[Jimmy MacReady]

Jaheira in the BG`/BG2 days felt like a lecturing mom so best option is abandon/kill her. Only difference now is people have forums to say how much they hate X

I like Laezel. I don't like shadowheart.
Karlach IS a stereotypical Mary Sue though.

This is the bad writers who can't put their selves in the place of the people they are writing. Instead of writing what a Tiefling Barbarian who served a devil would sound like, they instead write them like themselves or one of their friend would sound like.

Weird, I remember people saying they specifically make her attack her husband to death to be able to romance her.
Didn't like her either, went after Neera.
