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

Game: Baldur's Gate 3 (Patch 9).

Clips of Lae'zel being patronizing, condescending, rude and whatnot. I tried my best to sort through a MOUNTAIN of clips I had of her, even did a few play-throughs.

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

Lae'zel: *proceeds to do just that*

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.

Tbf githyanki standards she’s practically a teddy bear lol

[DeadpoolX]

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

[Gwynbleidd_]

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.

[clownworld]

Everyone says she’s the worst companion in the game while I laugh my ass off at every one of her edgy lines and immediately put her on my team. She’s so mean it’s funny and the fact that she’s actually a no-nonsense one man (or woman) army helps balance her abrasive personality.

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

[HeadDetectiveLassie]

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 😌

[stars-and-clouds]

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

[deptusmechanikus]

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

[atiqurrahman]

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.

[DmonHiro]

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.

[songbird]

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

[Anim]

I can fix her... Or she can break me, either way I'm good

[BovineGirl]

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.

[KingFrogWizard]

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

[RosaPercs]

I cant wait to play as a Dragonborn, only so muscle mommy La'Zel can tame me ;)

[williamstark]

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

[dealwolfstriked]

Lae'zel is the poster child for revenge frack! You know the type that gets under your nerves to your very soul and God curses you(always the joker) with a weird sexual attraction to that person?!
