lae'zel is perfect - well written, well voiced, a bit tanky, adds tension. there's nothing to forgive. boy gamers are notoriously sexist. this is their problem, not larian's.
She might be my favorite of the bunch. I'm at a pretty cool part of her story, I won't elaborate on, and I appreciate her abilities to lay waste to those that oppose her.
She's a very well written abrasive, abusive, xenophobic, domineering space Nazi. Which, I mean, yeah cool I just don't want to be around her. In fairness I hate Astarion more and find Shadowheart obnoxious to the point that I rerolled cleric just to not have her around. I'm 50-50 on Vampire Twink vs. Emo Priestess being more annoying to talk to, but at least twinky does his job well and provides some useful burst damage. My cleric does a much better job as a healer and support caster.
