"Hail, Queen Vlaakith – the last of Her name." Chills race down my spine the moment I hear Lae'zel utter these words in Baldur's Gate 3. Not only does it represent the ultimate moment of revenge for the githyanki warrior, these words invoke a paradigm shift for her entire people.
The Baldur's Gate 3 evil endings are a highlight of Patch 7, and Lae'zel's is by far my favorite. Is she potentially trading up one tyrant queen for another? By the sounds of it, yes. But does wresting power from Vlaakith represent the best possible outcome for an enraged, empowered Lae'zel who wishes to forge her own path, ending a lifetime of servitude to an unjust ruler? Definitely. Don't worry – I have the receipts.
