For me at least its because (like a lot of politicians) Its not so much about making things better for the univrse, its advancing herself and her "I dont care whats best, i hates them must killlllllls them!!!!!! / do whatever batpoop crazy thing i can to get what i want!" Attitude.

Shes pretty much just an incredibly ugly lovechild of Gollum and Hitler.

To me, she is merely a bureaucrat.

What you wrote is something I'd rather say about Kilran or Malgus, for example.

Her "my teachings" bit is hilarious with how violent her fighting style is.

I can definitely see how a DS Female would hate her though. BioWare had a bit of an oversight there. They started from "let's have a love interest that can meet a LS/Grey male Inquisitor in the middle" and forgot everyone else.

To the pit? That gleeful child-killer in Imperial Intelligence on Balmorra comes to mind.

The hate for saresh starts on Taris.

To begin with, she is holding the reconstruction companies hostage, and literally expecting them to hold off against the rakghouls as well as the literal best soldiers in the republic (Havoc Squad), the best Civilian Contractor (Smuggler), or the best Jedi in the galaxy (Knight + Consular), threatening them with bankruptcy as they wont be able to leave the planet for 6 months. Her plans to drive off the rakghouls also leave the players and the colony in extreme risk of frenzied Rakghoul attacks.

After that, she drops off the map for quite a while. The next times you can see her are:

Jedi Knight - after defeating the emperor, she behaves reasonably
Smuggler - Once again, behaves reasonably
Correllia - Reasonable, but only if you make the light sided decision. If you choose the dark side option (basically take over Correllia and refuse them the right to a government), she gives the plan her blessing.

And then there's the trooper. The only people who didn't see her first major moment post-taris of being a complete screwup were, ironicly, the dark sided troopers who killed general rakton (which, btw, doesn't give Dark Side points).

Only once you meet up with Saresh, she states that she is planning on releasing Rakton to the empire for tens of thousands of soldiers. Good idea right? WRONG
Rakton just received all the intel he needs in order to bring the destruction of the republic within 6 months. Obviously, Malgus's betrayal screws this over, but he didn't know this was going to happen and neither did you.
Saresh, on the other hand, does know this. She would prefer to get good publicity from this trade off, than from ensuring the safety of her people by avoiding the trade.

This problem repeats itself over and over again.
Makeb, she gets pissed at the destruction of the planet and having to look after the people, and of the 2 options you have:
Conscription, which she loves OR
Make the hutt cartel fix this mess, which she goes ahead with, but you can tell that she is loathing every minute of it.

And then there is Ziost...

FURTHER MY CAREER BY SENDING IN THE ARMY WITH THE EXCUSE OF 'CIVILIAN PROTECTION' WHEN IN REALITY IT MEANS I CAN KILL MORE IMPERIALS!
Basically, Saresh only cares for herself. She behaves like a Sith dictator, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it turns out she is one of the children of the emperor by how she acts.

I think that one is from when he gets the last shot on an enemy, i'm not sure, though. But it made me laugh when i saw it. He found some fribbitz or gizmo of some sort and had no idea what it was, but it was probably shiny. Little runt could probably make a speeder from it, too.

Nope. It's the complete and utter disregard for the health and safety of the people she governs on Taris. She doesn't give a damn about how many constructions workers and colonists die as long as she can show progress to the Senate. Being tied to a secret guild of assassins does't help her image any either.
My name is Milind. I checked it again and can confirm you there is no bug with any companion in the game.

Probably Xalek. I paid attention to his recruitment scenes. I did all his companion "quests". It's not that he is in-your-face bad (like Skadge) or incredibly annoying, he just doesn't appear to have any redeeming qualities. And I really hate the way his recruitment happened; I wanted my LS Inquisitor to tell the overseer to get a new batch, not take the monster as his apprentice!

I warmed up to Ashara, though I prefer her in small doses. If I hear "That's quite nice" one more time . . .
