So, I only recently started my first run through. Didn't give a flying fig about the romance stuff, it was just something to click through to get back to story and combat.

Annnnd then act 3 hits, and Lae'zel wants to talk one morning and gives a dialogue that actually brought a tear to my eye. Ffs, she's one of the least likable characters at the beginning of the game. More an annoyance than anything else, story wise.

And then she rejects her queen, finds love and there's this beautiful moment. Definitely not the writing I expected for her, but damned if it didn't work.

Makes me want to actually pay attention to the romance arcs now, see what the rest are like.

She really is awesome. Her writing combined with the voice actor make her feel so damn real and likeable. When I got her second "upgrade" to her heart, the options I had included a hug, and it was so fulfilling. I wanted to hug her. I was smiling from it for a while after I'd moved on.

For real, her voice actor did a phenomenal job on making the character feel real and relatable. The writers definitely did their job well with her, but the performance takes it to another level. I agree with you, top game character ever for me, even over Minsc lol.
