No Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companion was created equally, and some feel much more powerful than others in combat. However, as long as they\u2019re built carefully, you can undeniably reach the end game with relative ease. Nevertheless, the companions were certainly not created equally in their character quests either, with some getting a much more substantial story than others \u2013 like Astarion. In fact, the community has now spotted just how small one character quest is, with many labeling it a glorified fetch quest. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans think Karlach\u2019s story is simply a fetch quest Sharing their frustrations on Reddit, one user revealed their \u201chot take for hot girl\u201d referencing the beloved Tiefling, Karlach. In the image, they claimed that \u201cKarlacks story lacks options despite multiple capable allies and is really a single item fetch quest\u201d Essentially, since Karlach is introduced with a ticking timebomb as a heart, players are tasked to help her find Infernal Iron with the hopes of cooling down the Infernal Engine heart and keeping her alive, letting her spend more time on the material plane. However, at the end of the game, none of this works out, and you\u2019re tasked with either turning her into an Illithid, letting her die on the material plane, or sending her back to Avernus \u2013 a choice many fans think is entirely lacking when compared to other companions. The post sparked a rejuvenation in the Karlach conversation, with many fans highlighting how \u201cher story frustrates\u201d them due to the simple fixes for her condition. \u201cTrue resurrection can very easily solve her problem and we can get a scroll from Gale all we have to do is kill Karlach rip out the Infernal Engine then cast the spell and that\u2019s 80% of her quest line done\u201d commented one user, revealing just how easy it would have been to fix her. Others explained how the main Karlach questline is \u201cperhaps the worst of all.\u201d They went on to add that it\u2019s essentially \u201ca fetch quest of a material that isn\u2019t actually super rare, and the killing of a guy that you were already gonna kill anyways\u201d making it pretty inconsequential. Regardless of her questline, players still adore the detailed companion, but it\u2019s hard to ignore how much more the playerbase wants from her story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players slam major companion\u2019s storyline as glorified fetch quest Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are slamming one companion storyline, with many feeling they were pretty hard done by with what is essentially a glorified fetch quest.
