The co-creator of the Dragon Age franchise has commented on the reaction to one of Baldur’s Gate 3’s main female characters, saying fans “always treated male characters with more forgiveness”.

    The only reason why I don’t use Lae’zel is because Karlach exists and she’s a goddess (who also fills a similar party niche)

      My first play-through I one-shotted Karlach while she was moping. Didn’t catch on she was a party member until later.

      Lae’zel has been benched since I got Karlach. Karlach just hits so, so much harder and has so, so many hit points.

      Team Karlach forever! We just need a Bard so I can stake Astarion and never look at his smug, sadistic ass ever again.

        There is a bard but she is easy to miss.

        Alfira (the teeth-ling bard in the Emerald Grove) can join you. But you have to have the Dark Urge in your party and do a unique interaction that afterward will allow her to join you. In solo, the only way to have the Dark Urge is to select it as your PC.
