Advice on how to begin my fourth playthrough

General Discussion - [SPOILERS]

So here's the situation: I made up three playthroughs, the first being a normal Dragonborn fighter tav (romanced shadowheart), the second being Evil Durge paladin (romanced Gale), and the third being a female monk Gith Durge resisting the urge (romanced Wyll by accident).

I'm planning my 4° run to be on tactican by the beginning and I'm stuck between starting an origin character Lae'zel or creating another gith tav and just having Lae'zel at my party, creating a chaotic Gith duo, and also because I want to romance her. I want to be mean and rude with everyone in this run and completely reject llithid powers, so Lae'zel is the perfect fit.

So I'm still in doubt which is better, to play with her as origin character cuz I never played with one before, or to create this chaotic Lae'zel x Tav duo. What do you think?

I’d say start in Honor mode, worse that can happen is that it turns into Tactician

How about you take a Githyanki Tav Lae’zel Respec companions to have the permanent « disguise self » and run around with a full team of Gith?

I did a Gith Tav the first time I did a bard (lore) and it was great. Lae'zel in her default build even is always in my party regardless of my Tav. Though you do play backseat to her when interacting with the other Gith as a Gith even to the point she's explaining your culture to you as if you were any other random race. The Astral Knowledge is a good perk to an occasional difficult dice roll too. All of the Gith racial traits that you get as you level up are all solid too. Like the jump isn't needed as much on Fighter Lae'zel but it's great for a low strength character like Bard.

From everything I've heard, Lae'zel's romance is worth experiencing, so I'd say give that a go.
