A Friend of the Drow

Little things I noticed; the Gith protagonist immediately recognizes where they are when looking outside the gaping hole into Avernus during the prologue, there are lines referring to ghaik from the narrator that crop up here and now, and the Gith will always know that Us is an intellect devourer.

Killing Us isn't something that I think would necessarily be done by the protagonist. As Lae'zel herself says, Us could be of use. And as one of Lae'zel's Endings say, a good Githyanki does not dispose of a weapon that can still be of use.

Stoic Githyanki monk Viran traveling with joyful intellect devourer Us down the halls of horror.

Viran (and Us) meeting Lae'zel and interacting together during the narrative should be a bit more nuanced in-game. One of the flaws of the Githyanki experience is that, in an attempt to avoid much divergent dialogue, you're treated a bit too much like an amnesic Video Game Character (TM) rather than a more seasoned Githyanki who lives in the capital of Githyanki society.

Some of the scenes also necessitate not having Lae'zel around in order for the unique moments to activate.

Viran initially decides to abandon Shadowheart due to how it looks like trying to free her looks to be an impossible task, but inevitably he locates the "key" to her holding pod during the attempt to find the helm for the ship.

The option to play as a Gith was inspired by a recommendation from @chosenofyffre given the amusement of a Gith protagonist being the one to encounter Shadowheart.

Shadowheart's unique reactions to a Gith is very entertaining.

Us, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and Viran reach the helm of the Nautiloid, and they fight their way through their mutual friction and the infernal invaders.

The power of the monk proves too much for Commander Zhalk.

The little ghaik, Us, deals the killing blow to the indignant Mind Flayer. This moment solidifies the tie between the little ghaik and the monk.

The Child of Gith is victorious!
