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 😅

#blessed

She’s insufferable.

counterpoint: my character had sex with her

When you CAN fix her

[-] gianni@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

lmao exact same thing happened to me

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't figure that out lmao

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

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 35 points 1 year ago

It really surprised me that Astarion is so popular.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

MFers be horny

[-] tehevilone@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Hands down my least favorite companion.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

He has a growth arc

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

High/prominent cheekbone, pale, aristocratic, twink, tends to go over well

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Same, though I have to say when I let him have a little blood and he went too far, I forced him out of my party on my first play through. But oh boy is he necessary on a Dark Urge play through. The dialogue is just so worth it.

[-] bestagon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

He just a tumblr sexyman

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

Astarion has a ton of charisma.

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

Astarion rizzing me up fr

has backshot potential

-actual Discord messages from my heterosexual male cousin that made me feel like my brain was melting out of my ears.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes, heterosexuals. We have dismissed this claim.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Sarcasm is my go to cope so, make it five.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You think happy people are funnier than me?

Seriously though, having every character in a DnD party trying to crack wise all the time, even when it's objectively wrong, is just true to life.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

I still don't like Shadow heart. 🤣

[-] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 year ago

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... 🥲

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Huh. Karlach was easily my favorite.

I always liked hanging out with the punks and metalheads though.

I've known entirely too many people that had the real life personality of Shadowheart and Astarion to really like them though. Gael and Wyll just seemed like entitled shits; not the worst, but not great people.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My girlfriend and I reloaded like 3 times to save the npc that progressed the quest to save karlach.

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago

I'll be honest, I don't even remember who Minthara is, so I definitely didn't get her either.

[-] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The Dark Elf evil paladin leading the charge to destroy the druid camp. Most people dont get her as a companion

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Oooooh got it! That's cool actually I had no idea. I imagine she's pretty mutually exclusive with some of the others.

[-] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 30 points 1 year ago

Release the sass-cut

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

I can fix her

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 19 points 1 year ago

We were ROBBED

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Pooptimist@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

She's still sassy af

[-] hand@lemmy.studio 7 points 1 year ago

I killed her on the spot (goblin camp) after she refused to give me the artifact and leave me alone lol.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

You can get the artifact with no problems at all by telling shadow to wait in camp

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 7 points 1 year ago

She was worse??

[-] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Was that dev me?

When it was first made available to the public I played about an hour or 2 and then stopped so I didn't spill the game. My one big take away was that I really hated all the companions, especially sheart.

I'm glad how well written they all ended up.

[-] snowsynth@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I killed her when getting to the nightsong lol
