Gale doesn't seems to have Origin Moments (scenes that trigger on the overworld related to the character's story). He just have his foodies lines and camp scenes. Wyll and Shadowheart have the most. Astarion/Lae'zel has a few.
The more I look into the game files the more I'm confused about Shadowheart's magical flares up.
You can meet a Selûnite priest in the Shadow Cursed Land. He's looking for Shadowheart. Her magic flares happen when she spot him. She used the magical flares against a Sharran during her flashback training and they also happen when she kiss you after the party (according to the scene context notes). So it's not triggered by Selûne related stuff only. The priest claims he knows what it means, but she has to go an abandoned chapel in BG to learn more because Shar is too strong in the area. I find that a bit suspicious...Selûnite shouldn't have to hide in BG.
Her name might actually be a title: The Shadow Heart. As that is how the Selûne Priest refers to her, although it all look like temporary dialogues.
Both Shar and Selune wants her, foretelling her coming and stuff.
if she doesn't do as Shar wants, you get a super depressive Shadowheart around camp...
I expect people to complain a lot about playing Shadowheart's origin. There are situations (well at least one) where Shar tells her (you) to do things and you need to win a DC to do the opposite otherwise she assume "direct controls".
Speaking of Shar, lots of stuff in the Shadow Cursed Land for her and Shadowheart. I get the feeling people who thought it was easy to keep her around as a goody-two-shoes might have more problem in Act 1 B. Lots of it is still "work in progress" from the looks of it but still
I wanted to check if Shadowheart knew what Ketheric looked like to see if her Daisy was him. It's one of her "origin moment", but no sign of her knowing who he was. The only thing interesting is that this sound a lot like tadpole dream #2: Ketheric: Shar whispers of you, of the great destiny you bear! Embrace it with me, and spread Her darkness across these lands!
Romancing Shadowheart got a bit complicated if Ketheric makes advances to her, lol. She can even leave the party at that point going by the dialogues.
Very interesting once again.
I was thinking Shadowheart's Daisy would be a woman (maybe a Selûnite priestess?) that was supposed to be deliberately kept from EA, seeing as Ketheric Thorm and the Nightsong are all indev for Act 1B I was expecting them to show up in EA later so I ruled them out.

Do you think Act 1B / 1C will be added to EA eventually? It seems to me like that was not the plan at first, which means EA testing will be a DOS2 type affair with an over-polished intro and a more shaky narrative beyond that.
