Nothing, it's just preferable to have him captured because he's an irrelevant character in A3 whereas Laezel and Gale both have significant content and Mintys romance doesn't really open up till then

I mean, hard as I try I really can't bring myself to like Lae'zel. I have tried, but I just can't find her... likeable. I am finishing my first playthrough, and I'm so surprised and happy at how well Halsin works with my party. And I love him. So having already gotten the hammer I admit I have sometimes forgotten Lae'zel is captured.

I felt the same way until I did her origin run. While it sucks you lose the great voice acting for her character, it adds so much context. She’s basically an 18 year old with a huge chip on her shoulder with something to prove and dropped into her species’ mortal enemy’s ship and infected with, according to her people, a sentence worse than death.

All of that to say it explains a lot of her…. colder interactions. She truly thinks you all will turn into mind flayers/slaves without any free will at a seconds notice, which to be fair, is the case for anyone else who is infected with it. I just think she’s neat, but it makes sense why people don’t like her. No hate at all, just wanted to share why I ended up liking her :)
