“it’s so sad you can’t save karlach” you absolutely CAN save karlach and i have a paper to write about why nobody thinks you can
#bg3 spoilers
#SHES HAPPY. SHE IS LITERALLY HAPPY TO BE A MIND FLAYER. SHE SAYS TO YOU ‘THIS IS INSANE BUT I FEEL CRAZY LUCKY RN’.
#she doesn’t want to do it ! but if she does she’s VERY HAPPY WITH THE TRADEOFF!
#bg3 snuck one of the most interesting thought-provoking Meditations On Beauty I’ve ever seen into their viddy game and I am CHEWING on it.
#there’s obviously plenty to say about this relative to tav and the other characters as well
#and the player’s inherent reluctance to take what is MECHANICALLY nothing but a boost
#on the grounds that it will slightly alter their appearance
#And like how (and whether!) we justify that as being what our characters would do etc etc yada yada
#but it is LITERALLY lifesaving for karlach. The only other options for her are death or going back to a place
#that she considers worse than death.
#it’s a choice that she would have made happily if she knew going in that it would switch off her engine!
#she is nothing but relieved if you talk to her afterwards! she looks radically different but she is the same person!
#and YET as a player . Even knowing all of that!! it still sort of feels like losing her
#and there’s REALLY something juicy there about how we think about appearance
#and the nature of the self etc
#also it’s definitely not that deep but I could say something about her appearance rework from EA
#and how her being a conventionally ‘attractive’ character plays into this
#like honestly? If it was laezel in the same situation I think we’d all be reacting very differently!
#and I include myself in that! Through that whole scene I was going WOW this feels like such a hard choice
#And at the same time looking at myself like holy shit you’re SO in the beauty complex soup!
#anyways. Much to think about. Mind flayer karlach is adorable also.
