I like her. Romanced her. She has always been in my party. Her and Shadowheart are both great. I had to tell the wizard to fuck off when I ran out of items I could part with so I don't know how I feel about him, but in general I'm not a fan of the class so he'd need a great personality to make up for that. I'm not a huge fan of Halsin, Wyll, or the barbarian even though I like all three classes. I've never met Astarion, so I'm not sure if I missed him or haven't gotten to him yet.

I sort of feel like all the characters are assholes. Interesting and entertaining assholes certainly, but I don't think I like any of them. Laezel, though, is at least perfectly upfront about who she is. She knows exactly what she wants, gives no fucks about anything else, and tells you exactly that. I think I asked if she loved me and she basically said wtf are you an idiot? We are mates, that's it.

Anyway my game just bugged and I can't move so I think I'm going to take a break and then start over again with a different character. I'm kinda sick of my female wood elf's stupid face. She always looks constipated.

I never did the investigate Kargha quest which seems to be the only reason to go to that corner of the map. I didn't explore because I had plenty of things to pursue and then suddenly I was in act 2.

What item is that?

I'm now on my 4th character. Two I decided early on I didn't like. My third met an end near to act 3 I think around level 7 or maybe 8 when a bug left it so that my only means of moving my main character was to shove them. I'm now on my 4th character through Act 1 and this is the first time I've found him, and that wasn't until a bit into the druid camp stuff. Also the first time I've run into the hag.

I crash, explore the immediate vicinity thoroughly, get shadowheart, follow the trail of bodies and loot to the ruin, go around because it's locked, find gale, loot the ruin, find laezel, and then hit the druid camp and it's off to the races with chasing down quest markers. Interesting that the pattern of exploration that feels right to me must have a gaping hole in it. That part feels so linear I don't know how I've been missing him.

I appreciate your observations.
