Lae'zel is my best friend. If anyone makes her sad, I will kill them.
Additionally, my favorite i interaction with her involved freeing the Drow Nere, who I then talked to. I was like, "Nere, you use slaves, thats terrible," and I saw a little 'Lae'zel disapproves' box. Nere was mouthy, then I responded, "You don't understand. You aren't leaving here alive." I then saw 'Lae'zel approves' immediately after. Best natural interaction ingame I've had.
Her trust bar is maxed out for me because if bad people give me shit, I tend to murder them enthusiastically, and when good people give me shit, I ignore them and tell them to go screw themselves. And hey, she's gone from evil crazed zealot to less-evil skeptic that loves me. She's my bestie 💓
I tried to get along with her but just can't. During beta, I did a playthrough where I shot her in her cage at the beginning and kept wearing her armour. That was the most satisfying experience I had with her yet. Now after full release I kept her in my party for the whole act 1, trying to make it work but I just can't bear her snarky arrogant zealot shit so she stays in camp condemning me for helping people from there.
I think it takes a certain kind of person who can put up with snarky comments and act extremely aggressively towards people. Like my character! I made my classic Neutral Tiefling Fighter I play in tabletop, who doesn't give a shit what others believe, thinks violence is the second option if the first one fails, likes killing and fighting, tries to respect other cultures (most of the time,) and hates slavery. I tend to get strange looks at my table when I say, "Not saying we should, but we could just kill him," in regards to the innocent guards protecting a prison. Karlach is like my second best friend ingame, and she's like a good version of my character.
Anyway, Lae'zel respects that if my character doesn't like someone, I'm cutting off their head then and there. My character also tends to be brutally honest with people, and she enjoys that. You can have her like you without being evil, I still helped the grove and tieflings, I saved the Harpers, helped Halsin and stormed the Moonrise towers. AND I murdered dozens of her kind at her crèche and she was pretty chill with it after some stuff I won't get into involving the parasite and Vlaakith.
She's my favorite character.
Pretty much same for me. My half-orc barbarian hit it off from the start with her. As I'm new to this whole dnd world, I don't know shit about any of these cultures or religions. Nearly everyone you meet is a zealot or has some major character flaw. My guy is all about that half-orc smash! In as many ways as possible. I'm just in the start of Act 2 but Lae'zel has my loyalty.
