Forgiving of what? Her dommy mommy sex scenes?

Her adversarial nature? My dudes, she is actually quite tame for a gith and if you play deeper into her story line, you'll discover that and also get her to stop being a bitch to everyone she's first meeting. Can't blame her for being an asshole when she takes orders and worships an evil lich (whom she doesn't even know is an evil lich) that raised her and others of her kind to be unquestioning killing machines.

It’s a dialogue option when she romances you. I just found it hilarious. Simply one word; yuck.

Not if you're my little boss halfling. She's a fighter with points in intimidation. Lae'zel tried the dom thing on me, and I said "That's not how thing is going to work, you're going to submit to me".

Same here! I did have to burn a point of inspiration for a re-roll but it was so worth it!
