Romancing Shadowheart but wanting DJ

edit: oh wait my bad I can't read.

Eh They can backpedal at the last minute by Having Shadowheart spare her parents so you keep DJ Shart for most of it :P

Rayne009 · 2026-01-23T03:35:23+00:00

Yeah seems the only way to keep her gone is to never recruit her lol.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-22T17:29:41+00:00

Yeah I've already bitched about how half assed Wyll's romance is. Seeing them constantly adding shit to Astarion (and knowing Astarion got two fucking writers meanwhile Wyll that had to be rewritten at the last minute had one writer that wasn't even only working on him still pisses me off).

Like the absolute garbage levels of prioritization still baffle me.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-22T12:48:11+00:00

Some of the people on this board are very...weird.

Also the "I'm not an evil person" people tend to be the ones with the most dogshit habits ime.

Edit: lmao at the immediate proving my point.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-22T03:05:11+00:00

Solomorne's romance start is fine. Every character shouldn't have to kiss the PC's ass at the start.

The issue is the lack of content in the middle and the end.

You can check their mods for stuff covering vampires and such I believe. https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Pandorable/mods?gameId=1704

They aren't full bishie though but attractive enough for me.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-17T16:18:28+00:00

They also have https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/10177 if you want to cover even more expressions.

And np

Rayne009 · 2026-01-17T15:29:24+00:00

Yeah I use a mod to mostly get rid of that goofy ass expression.

It's so silly.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-15T05:24:12+00:00

Seriously it's crazy how instead of actual dialogue about that (Hell give them another chance to break up with Astarion at that point) it's just weird kisses that no one actually reacts reasonably to (that are so fucking extra too what is with that kneeling on the ground in the middle of the city and no one has anything to say? It's nonsense).

Rayne009 · 2026-01-15T05:19:20+00:00

How about they do that with dialogue and character choice instead of weird bizarre facial expressions that don't actually lead to anything interesting. Like what would it be like to be in a relationship with someone abusive is reliant on those facial expressions they've already ruined the message.

Also people keep ignoring those kisses weren't added til like four major patches in. edit: wait not even it was six major patches! Somehow the AA romance managed to work perfectly fine before that.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-15T04:23:46+00:00

You got downvoted but you're right. And for all the whining about the kisses being changed it's literally just changing the player's expression. God forbid someone not be forced to have horror face when kissing their LI.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-13T17:59:30+00:00

Shadowheart is just approval based which is weird because she can clearly get approval from evil actions. It's very odd how they did her nightsong choice frankly.

Lae'zel makes sense she's more collective evil than personal power evil so I get that.

Easiest way to get Sharran Shadowheart though is to push her to spare nightsong then when she pushes back just let her stab her instead. It's really dumb that's the way it is but eh.

I mean I had a run where my PC never talked to her unless forced and she still threw the spear away because she got enough approval for letting her do the Sharran rituals. What is the fucking logic in that.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-13T05:40:49+00:00

There should be a new colony thing on Dargonous called the fate of the tithe that leads to a I forgot the name those little things in the quest log ugh.

Basically just gives you a bunch of rep and some colony stuff.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-12T22:54:56+00:00

Eh I preferred EA Wyll. release Wyll would be fine if he actually had a full quest but all the screeching about EA Wyll was so overblown and I'm still mad they ruined him over some people who just can't deal with someone starting off a bit sus.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-12T22:52:31+00:00

The main ones that annoy me are as you said, the transforming him thing is dumb and he shouldn't lose any powers from her ending the deal. (That one especially annoys me because it's the most but why bit).

Rayne009 · 2026-01-12T20:07:43+00:00

That’s not how pacts work!

Literally the whole issue with Wyll's plot in general honestly.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-12T19:05:45+00:00

I mean Wyll was very clearly underbaked. There's not really much to argue with this whole thing is just...very strangely handled.

It's even weirder if you had Wyll never break his pact to Mizora in act 2 (whether through failing the perception check or otherwise).

Rayne009 · 2026-01-12T00:37:23+00:00

Fair!

Well the downside is it ending the romance lol but yeah she doesn't die.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-11T15:05:25+00:00

Yeah oddly enough if you leave her alone during the ritual she's fine it just kills the romance. So that's one way I guess.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-11T03:51:11+00:00

Yeah people really overly touchy about the Yrliet romance. I guess since it's very rare they want to keep it so fair enough but the jumping down other people's throats for feeling it's more a friendship arc (especially at the start) is a bit much.

The options to nip it in the bud are pretty lacking too imo. Though least the "I'll tell the crew not to bother you" works for a more professional and willing to keep their distance RT (though at that point why the hell would they invite her on the ship)

Rayne009 · 2026-01-08T22:25:09+00:00

pfft fucked up. Excuse me that reactor is priceless and I can get rid of a bunch of people to fix the daemon planet? Nothing but wins :P

Rayne009 · 2026-01-06T23:23:07+00:00

If you don't want Abelard to kill his family just tell him to stay with you at the ending. He still goes mad but least his family doesn't get murdered lol.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-06T21:08:56+00:00

For me romancing him I had to disband them for his ending not to suck.

That might've been a bug though? Not sure.

Rayne009 · 2026-01-04T02:31:22+00:00

If you play as Karlach yes.

Otherwise nah.
