Does anyone here just really like Shadowheart?

[BigBallinChester]

I mean story and dark past aside. Her character model, voice and demeanor is just amazing. She reminds me a lot of Ciri in Witcher 3 in that she appears to be modeled after a real attractive person(albeit her ASSets seems to be a little exaggerated)

Yes indeed. I enjoy that she's a bit nuanced, too. She's the sort of neutral evil that shows you that "evil" doesn't need to mean "constantly selfish". She doesn't mind doing someone a good turn, she just doesn't want to risk her neck to unnecessarily.

I take her clothes off and hide her armor so she's always naked. I haven't played for about a week now because I just get turned on and I refuse to revert to a clothed Shadowheart.

Larian has put too much power in gamers' hands! They were fools to think it could be controlled, and now look what it has wrought! The game cannot even be played!

I think you should be watching certain videos rather than playing the game that way lol..

I didnt like her at first but after using mods to make her a hot goth complete with black lipstick she is now my characters waifu for lifeu in every playthrough I do.

She’s amazing . Hands down the only companion I ended up actually caring for.

All others are just … there

I think she has one of the best story arcs of all the characters.

Gale is kinda just flat and doesn't go through an arc really.

Astarion probably would have been really good if they'd just given him more time to develop. Unfortunately a lot of his development only comes out if you romance him, which not everyone is going to do.

Karlach is good, but not as well done as Shadowheart in my opinion and again I don't think they gave her enough to really work with.

Wyll is also kind of flat.

Honestly I think the biggest issue is that she feels like she actually got enough time to have an arc and everyone else's stories end up feeling rushed.

Except maybe Lae'zel her's is pretty good too.

I fully agree and after Respecing her into a tempest cleric with 1 level as a wizard she is bad to the bone.

Her story line is one of the best characters, she's great support, and her romance actual includes getting to know each other before having sex. Also, let's not forget the best thing of all: she likes building sandcastles.

Note if you do that make sure she has high intelligence or her wizard spells won't land hardly ever. Different class's magic use different casting stats and it tracks it per class.

I like how she is the one companion I can trust to make her own choices so in her storyline I basically always just stay silent or tell her she doesnt need me to tell her what is right. And every time she has made me proud with her choices. It feels like she is the one companion I can put my faith in and she will never let me down.

I didn't like her in Act 1, Act 2 she started to warm on me. In Act 3 if you flip her good she's heartwarming and there's a few moments I wish my character would just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hug her.

EDIT: Especially because I chose to romance her in this playthrough.

[Silyon]

I'm indifferent on her, she's too gloomy and ruthless for too much of the game to be "my type". In fact she tends to rub me the very wrong way early on with the totally unnecessary secrecy and hostility. At least she becomes much more tolerable as she mellows out over the game.

She does have the most realistic and well-paced romantic development among the party, imo, so she certainly has that going for her. Still tends to come on to you just for treating her like a decent human bean, but in her defense it's apparently a novel thing for her.

[Ragnarok]

Honestly after doing her companion quests in 2 and 3 with my Dark Urge run,which btw once I got Minthara Shadowhesrt was benched, I realized she's perfect for a DU evil run, a more evil Oathbreaker run or even just a good person run. She has many options to go with RP wise. I will be using her and Karlach next run since I killed Karlach. Though depending on my choice of waifu for the next run, Karlach may be killed again lol. Depends if I choose Shadowhsart and if I'll be going bad with her or good with her.

Well since I don't have a monster girl fetish, there is no other choice in the game unless you wanna be a murderhobo.
