I would like to see the persimmon tree.

Lae'zel seemed boring to me. Well, on the one hand, she is more grounded – a simple soldier, raised in specific conditions. But I was annoyed by her arrogance.

That's why she was replaced by Karlach as soon as I met her.

But overall, I also don't like the trend that starting with one of the companions gives you more content than creating your own character. However, as I understand it, this is more or less compensated by the Dark Urge, because you can give him any appearance and role-play as you like due to the "memory loss." But playing as such a character with a number of drawbacks is not for those who prefer a good playthrough.

In general, I personally noticed that Larian has one common problem – the first act in both games is great, the second is more or less okay (in BG, however, I liked the second act a little more due to the need to search for light in the cursed forest, and all these crazy relatives of Thorm are also quite amusing), and then it starts to get really bad. In the case of Original Sin 2, it would have been better to end it with a battle on the island, and not turn it into a hassle with running around Arx, where the party is already leveled up to god-like levels and can defeat everyone like nuts, even without using the Source. In BG3, the Gates of Baldur themselves are quite boring, the city is large, there is a lot of stuff, but the party reaches level 12 by this point and also defeats everyone like nuts. Yes, there is a lot of good gear in the city, but the "anal rape squad" can easily cope without it on tactics.
