Lol what kind of chicks do you all hang around? From what I gathered being "strong" is being standoffish? Now she is weak and uninteresting? Do you want to hang around nitpicking standoffish non agreeable chicks?
Don't know about you folks, but a companionship whether romantic or not does not happen if both parties at least tolerant to each other. In the game what reason is their for her to be rude and boderline hostile besides the player being Gith? Having secrets is as easy as not talking about it. It's got nothing to do with attitude.
Now some of you are using that as an excuse to attack dudes. Hmmm I don't know does not seem right to me. Were you even planning on having her in the party?
Devil's advocate: "The males are too weak and feminine. Perfect for a high school girl fanfic".
See thats how some of you look. Shame.
I've met some poisonous people whom cover it with politeness on the surface. Maybe its a western thing. That's why I appreciated SH showing her true emotions. Memory wipe, serving unforgiving godess and her artifact mission, magical flarings and, crème de la crème, possiability to turn into mindflayer at any given moment (which won't happen till the end of the game if at all but she doesn't know that). This is shitload of stress. I would like to see true person chilled about that.
I like to work, to earn her trust and warm up. Smile was rewarding.
Isn't that with the assumtion that peoples true colors are horrible. Thats just not always the case my friend. It does not sound like you are building a rapport, but rather wearing the person down. That is probably why you assume horrible people are nice and nice people are posion. I don't know you so I have nothing more to say about that.
All I can say is don't expect to be happy if you have to "work" for anything with people. It puts you in a bad and unnecessary spot.
Stress and fear is what gets you killed. Keeping a cool head and think things through is the way. Why be hostile? No time for any bs drama including rudeness. Emotional instability. Nothing interesting or useful in that. It is a reason to leave her ass on a grove corner. If she was actually good with secrets she would say very little and follow along and subtlety take whatever. In which case I'd leave her 8 int ass anyway. Lol
The only way is to cut the rude bs and join the team like a normal tadpole infectee.
I would not even think about trust in Shadowheart's case since its literally join me or die from several things that have nothing to do with me including whats in her pocket.
