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)

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... 🥲

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.

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

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.

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

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

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