Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3 was originally "more sassy" and had to be "heavily dialed down" after one of the devs said "I really don't like" the character (www.gamesradar.com)

In my playthrough (which I'm still working through so no act 3 spoilers please), I couldn't figure out how to open the pod she was in at first. I ended up shooting something overhead which fell and put caustic brine everywhere. When I finally opened the pod she jumped out and immediately died to the brine. I've never actually heard her speak 😅

On one hand, maybe having the child maltreatment victim crack jokes all the time would be a little inappropriate. On the other hand, that describes like 4 people I know.

On the other other hand, one Astarion is enough

It really surprised me that Astarion is so popular.

Astarion has a ton of charisma.

So now Shadowheart is easily the most agreeable companion in the game since she approves of everything good or bad you do as long as it does not involve Shar or Lae'zel.

I can fix her

I still don't like Shadow heart. 🤣

I thinks she was cool. I liked almost all companions, especially Lae'zel, Gale, Shadowheart and Astarion. I disliked Karlach, and Wyll was meh but not terrible. I didn't get to play Minthara though because I didn't know she was a companion and killed her in Act 1... 🥲

Oh my gosh, you too? I swear there are so many of us 😭

I'm doing a co-op play through with friends, and one of us accidentally started combat with her and killed her. We didn't even realise we were missing someone until Act III where there's a visible empty spot where she clearly should be and we googled the roster of companions.
