So, I only recently started my first run through. Didn’t give a flying fig about the romance stuff, it was just something to click through to get back to story and combat.
Annnnd then act 3 hits, and Lae’zel wants to talk one morning and gives a dialogue that actually brought a tear to my eye. Ffs, she’s one of the least likable characters at the beginning of the game. More an annoyance than anything else, story wise.
And then she rejects her queen, finds love and there’s this beautiful moment. Definitely not the writing I expected for her, but damned if it didn’t work.
Makes me want to actually pay attention to the romance arcs now, see what the rest are like.
I didn’t romance her but through my first playthrough I was willing to sacrify everything for her. It was looking hopeless in the end but I was so surprised and relieved by the ending I got. I love her, but also unsure if I’d like a romantic bond with her.
