Hmm...Well, the acronym seems familiar, where have I seen this one before...? DILF...DILF...ILF...MILF!!! Mother I'd Like to Fuck!

But what the hell does the D stand for?? And why is that a man and not a woman? That's just puzzling, or maybe its a typo...hmm. Someone help us solve this condundrum!

B-b-but if MILF stands for Mother I'd Like to fuck, shouldn't this be FILF? Father I'd Like to Fuck? Yes, FILF, it is quite fitting to this.

Jesus Christ you are right, it IS a typo! F is right next to D! Thank you, thank you!

In all honesty, does xir have a child in-game? Because otherwise xir looks way to young for a Dad.

It's not dad, it's daddy.

Also, I'm very surprised that people claim not to know these things have an audience. We all lived through the fall of Bioware.

I'm going to let out a mating call for all people who actually want to discuss the game - where do you think Lae'zel's story is going? I have a pretty detailed opinion, which I think is the only way the events could unfold. But I want to see someone else's opinions too, to see if I achieved mine by applying logic to foreshadowing already in the game, or by pulling things out of my ass.

You tell me, I don't go to such cancerous places.

Lae'zel's initial motivation is entirely limited to "We must find the creche". Every time you do something unrelated, Lae'zel makes a point to remind you that you should be following this particular lead instead. My entire theory hinges upon two dialogues, as well as one instance of using common sense.
1) The creche is act 1 content. Getting rid of the tadpole is, for now, your entire motivation, and reason for adventuring. Reaching the creche is also the only reason Lae'zel is with you at all. Her personal plot, and your own plot, won't be solved by visiting a location in act 1.
2) The dialogue which happens if you're gith, and you ask Lae'zel about the miracle cure her creche is supposedly capable of. Lae'zel asks you if you're retarded, you're supposed to know about such things as a gith yourself. This would be a funny bit of dialogue, poking fun at you needing exposition you're already supposed to know (like you can ask who Karlach is, even if you're a tiefling yourself). Except the leader of the gith patrol shares your opinion - he's never heard of any cure, and the moment he hears Lae'zel is infested, he orders her death, as opposed to "Go report for the miracle cure immediately".
3) If you kill the gith patrol, Lae'zel immediately begins talking about how they were clearly traitors, and probably rebels against Vlakith as well, instead of entertaining the possibility that they were doing what they're supposed to do.

There's definitely no cure awaiting her - or you - in the creche. Instead, just like in the Druid Grove, you will have people trying to kill you for your own good. Upon experiencing this - and killing every single living soul in the creche - Lae'zel will continue staying in utter denial. She will probably say that the creche was clearly treacherous as well, and she must find the loyal, true githyanki - and since she doesn't know where to find any, so be it, she'll tag along with you for now.
The inevitable conclusion of the arc is Lae'zel being faced with the fact that her entire society is retarded (probably somewhere in the act 3), and Vlakith is a crazy tyrant. She'll probably even get to kill her in the inevitable sequel Swen makes with all the BG3 preorder dollars.

I've been thinking about it, and I legitimately can't imagine any other way her arc could possibly go.

If Swen knows what's good for the game, certainly. Personally, I hope that even main menu will be turn based. Maybe an explosive barrel somewhere there too.
