Shadowheart Approval

[MisterRed]

How hard is she to keep happy as a morally good character? From what I remember of EA, she dislikes when you take on side quests, and is a more evil/neutral character. But at the same time I want her in my final party if I can, since I want my party to be Tav, Karlach, Shadowheart, and (Tie between Halsin, Wyll, and Gale.). If she won't be compatible with a "good" playthrough where you help people and do lots of sidequests though, I'll drop her for Wyll, and do Tav, karlach, Wyll, Gale

She has softened considerably during EA. Mostly you will annoy her if you agree with Lae'zel or pry into her background. That said she does like it when you help the Tieflings and/or children, so I don't think it will be too hard to keep her happy.

She wants you to avoid getting involved in things, for the most part. She also likes it when you use deception to get what you want. But actually responds positively to "good" things like helping kids and animals.

I believe they reworked her approval at some point during EA, she approves of using diplomacy and avoiding conflict (albeit this can be through intimidation and deception as well) and I didn't notice disapproval from her when I tried helping others

I was able to stay on her good side while playing an Oath of Devotion paladin. You should be fine.

She is also an animal lover, almost any time I used speak with animals, there was an option that gave some approval.

She isnt morally good from my perception of her, so..... In terms of wanting a morally good party she is gonna be problematic in approval from such.

Shadowheart is a good character, so shouldn't have any issues with a good playthrough

This is really good to hear. Im specifically gonna be playing a Paladin, Oath of the Ancients. So if she likes that, as I recall, that Oath is just fine with deception, and only really demands you be nice to animals, and if you're gonna lie and deceive, be a good guy about it and do it for the sake of helping people or avoiding killing them, unlike devotion which is more "Don't lie, don't ambush enemies, don't do anything that isnt honorable combat"

She is one of the more fluid companions i think. I went all good boy for a run and she had enough approval to romance so it works out fine. I think all characters have at least one trait that results in positive approval without being strictly evil or good.

Even Lae'zel likes any form of martial prowess and dedication to duty.

If she has changed since I last played through EA, thats great! She seems like she will be a really interesting character, so i wanted her in my main party. Glad I should be able to do so on my "Hero" run, instead of my Dark Urge run

[Lepakko]

Last time i played. She liked good deeds and hated me when i did bad ones, but there where still some little evil things she liked, but they where more harmless ones. Like kissing goblins feet to steal ring and accepting whipping from pain loving priests. Maybe she is into kinky stuff?

Edit: She still priorities options what helps her do her personal mission/companion quests.

She's pretty easy to appease from what I've noticed.

Once they softened her up I found it near impossible to end Act 1 without her being ready for some drinks after camp unless I was actually a murderous wretch.
