Baldur's Gate 3: The Choice Between Gortash and Orin Will Lock Certain Quests and Change Companion Approval

Gortash is a main antagonist in Baldur's Gate 3 who offers you a deal to kill Orin and control the Elderbrain.
Accepting Gortash's deal makes the game easier but loses Karlach's approval and locks some side quests.
Refusing Gortash's deal means fighting him later but keeping side quests and Karlach's approval.
Orin also offers a deal to kill Gortash then fight her, doesn't have Gortash's pull but captures a party member.
Siding with Orin over Gortash may be better to protect your captured party member.
