There isn't a single normal woman in this game

[woops]

I get romanced by a literal demon from hell, an evil shar worshipper, an evil drow, another literal demon lady and a freakish looking orc lady. Not a single normal human female to be found anywhere in this game.

Negative review stays up.

the number of people on these forums that dont even bat an eye at the very non-offensive fact that there is no normal traditional female romance partner in a game that is heavily marketed towards romance, is really really sus.

Sometimes you just gotta wine and dine yourself.

...um, have you ever PLAYED DnD? The most normal character in my current party is probably our Warrior, who is a Hexblood with a Predator style mouth and has a coven of hags gunning for her ass. You just dont get normal characters in DnD unless someone is intentionally going out of their way to make a 'normal' character.

Also, the only reason you can conclude that Shadowheart is evil is if you pay absolutely no attention to anything she says or does. Almost every single action she approves of are ones that are 'good' and usually the ones Wyll also likes. If she attacked you, thats entirely on you.

I think the most normal PC at my Pathfinder table is the stuffed bunny barbarian. They're just a dead knight animating a stuffed bunny. It gets weirder from there. Adventurers aren't normal people on a good day and the party in BG3 are *even* weirder than your average adventurer

Iiiii dont really think that the selection is any more or less unusual than any other game with romance options I've played. Its certainly no more unusual than what Bioware put forwards in ME and DA.

This forum truly brings out the most crazy people.

Shadowheart tried to kill OP's character?
I haven't played much, but Shadowheart seems more like a neutral character than an evil one. So far I have got no indication that she is evil. If you successfully pry her thoughts you would see that she actually likes you a lot secretly.
I can't talk about OP's preference about his ideal choice of romanceable character but if he has a problem then he should have researched a bit before buying the game rather than complaining after buying it.
And I hope this is not a troll post.

If the DM is good. If the writers are good. The NPC's you encounter are native to the lands you traverse. In a game this big with 180 hours of video, there's gotta be someone for everyone.

why not become one yourself?
gayle and assterion will keep you company

Occasionally nerds will say that they want to see more companions and characters who are normal-ish people, but tend not to like it when they actually see them.

If I had to guess, when Shadowheart admitted she's a follower of Sher, OP killed her on the spot.

Who was that in BG3? Presuming you (like the OP) are looking to romance a lady, what do we have?

Was it your half-sister by way of a dead god? The woman who was effectively your legal guardian after your stepdad got got? The maimed elven woman whose life was either suffering as a slave or living in a circus? The Dark Elf heretic on the run from everyone? I guess that leaves Nalia? She's as normal as BG2 got and she's a brat whose in *way* over her head.

Even the EE's characters are a Mage made of explodium-238 and an actual vampire?

So in a game with 2x as many party members there's one kinda normal person whose still, by most metrics, playing with a non-standard deck.

Shadowheart is not evil

Implying that it’s impossible or against the lore of fantasy to simply having a kind hearted romanceable female character?
Leliana from Dragon Age Origins comes to mind immediately.

Imagine thinking Leliana is some definition of 'normal.' She's a retired spy and hitter whose pretending to hear messages from god out of a desire to good for once in her very bloody life.
