Baldur's Gate 3: Lae'zel Being A Bully Mini-Complication

Love her abrasiveness.

she talks a lot of shit, but in my game she jumped down into the spider pit to help Shart after Dror Ragzlin shoved her into there. what a legend.

She talks a big game but she's the companion that gets caught lacking the most.
-Captured by the mindflayers (Could've happened to anyone I suppose)
-Caught in a trap by some random tieflings (L)
-Overpowered by Shadowheart (tbf, she was caught off-guard but the way she sets herself up, you'd think she'd always be on-guard, even among friends)
-Kidnapped by Orin (L, depends on the playthrough but I did three playthroughs and it happened all three times so I'm guessing it's quite common for everyone)

Still, out of all the characters in the game, I think Lae'zel has the best character arc in the game, even better than Astarion.

I'm just in love with her, how can anyone be upset with her? weaklings

love her, my baby

She has the best character development in this game in my opinion if you romance her and if she learns the truth of her queen.

Hmmm... I think i need to stop killing her in all of my playthroughs ☠️

So there are cockroaches in the Astral… interesting.

She strangely reminds me of panam from cyberpunk, similar hair, eyes and attitude

This character is tight. The GALL of her to talk shit about other people's noses, I love her

It might because I'm only 30 hours into the game but I don't understand why people favour Shadowheart over Lae'zel. Shadowheart is always the one instigating a fight between them, to the point she literally attacked Lae'zel in her sleep and she's so reluctant to open up to you that I barely bring her along. Meanwhile Lae'zel is over here with a no nonsense attitude, honestly hilarious and is on par with Wyll, Karlach and Gale in her loyalty towards Tav.

She's the type of friend who would use idiot (or istik) as a fondly scathing nickname.

When she accuses Shadowheart of keeping secrets, I just want to turn to her and say that she's the only one who isn't.

She is refreshingly honest. I trust her to never stab me in the back. She will stab me in the front after declaring her intentions. Totally trustworthy.

Also, in comparison to the rest of her people, she is a lot more compassionate, adaptable, and trusting than many others we meet.

Her culture is just so extreme even the low-keyest of the gith are intense and abrasive.

Like, it is completely against her people's rules to bring non-gith to be purified, but she always insists that we all get to the creche to be saved. That's the kindest thing she could offer in these circumstances.

She could easily hand us over and get purified while we're off being tortured and interrogated when we get to the creche, but she doesn't.

Her aggressiveness is a response to what appears to be passiveness or fooling around from everyone else when there is a countdown for what is one of the worst maladies her people could suffer, and she is sure she knows how to save us all.

...the more I play, the more loveable I find her.

Man going from this, to a fling, to an incredibly sweet romance is so rewarding. Seeing her genuinely smile when greeting you is lovely 😌

My general attitude towards her so far, has been summed up by a quote from Gaz in 'Invader Zim'; "Why do you have to have a head?"

Bae'zel

You know, for someone who’s basically an abused alien she’s doing great.

A hardass in a hard place, what’s there not to like about her?

i love lae'zel. i always tease her about her adorable bat-snout. i love bringing her and astarion along when i do mean stuff

wtf i haven’t heard her say half this dialogue :o

best girl i love her so much

Tfw no racist alien gf, why even live?

Too many redditors find her offensive 😢😢😢😭😭😭

Well she kind of mellow down a bit depending on the route you take...

But hey... just a bit!!!

What a woman

I love

She's so misunderstood, her culture has forced her to act that way and to show no weakness but in reality she is soft and compassionate and completely the opposite of who you meet in the beginning.

I feel like she gives a refreshing kinda energy to the party.
Like everyone is relatively low key and here comes this absolute battering ram of a personality.

She’s definitely the most lively in my opinion

Odd, she was never that mean to me. As long as you give her respect and don't insult her, she actually has your back quite quickly. All you have to do is act determined and direct. I was a bard, and she admired how I took charge of things, and how got my way without the opponent figuring out I was manipulating him.

Tbf githyanki standards she’s practically a teddy bear lol

I feel like I got her approval up really quickly in Act 1 so she was never this mean towards me. And I was playing a good character so I dont know what you did to make her dislike you this much lol.

I play as a tempest cleric/storm sorcerer of bahamut and let's say the dialogue between me and lae'zel has been interesting 🤣 she definatley thinks I'm far too soft.

Isn't this a... compilation?

My mind is not the only thing that's not my own.
Tadpole may have infected my brain, but an angry alien frog outright stole my heart

i love her so much

if people cannot handle her at her worst, then they don't deserve her best.

I do not fault her for being mean or rude. She was literally kidnapped by mindflayers, you know, the very same species that had enslaved her own people for thousands of years until they broke free from them, but the history her people shared with them is bloodied and won't ever be forget; this is like a scary story your parents would tell to their kids, but instead, this is very much real. So, really, you met her on the worst moment in her life, and yet, she chose to help you. So people who gives her shit for it are weird.

I am ready to make her see the light in team friendship!

Lae'zel: "You're all a bunch of punks, I'll fight and beat everyone here!"

Lae'zel: proceeds to do just that

I do not remember her being mean at all in my playthrough. She basically had my back very soon in act 1. But I was also playing dragonborn dark urge, idk if it has influence

Ugh her fingers in that metal armor...<3

I can't get enough of her bashing me 😏

I can't tell if my Ranger is sleeping with her because they're shallow or just like being called "kainyank."

”I HATE YOU”

Tbh I kinda missed her being mean when I started romancing her

and then - one day - you sit together on a roof while she talks about beauty, freedom and passion - here story arc is the most compelling of all the characters.

This is my favourite video rn. Annoying lae'zel gives me a special type of satisfaction I cannot describe.

She's so annoying, in my evil playthrough i'll punish her, torture her and kill her as she should be

Unfortunatly my first game is a good playthrough

Tsunderes…..
