Looks at topic title; loses will to live. D:
I agree completely, only unique gifts are needed. I think Shadow Heart is very similar to Leliana. Both talk about what flowers she likes, but in DA:O we can find this flower and give it, and in BG3 not.
Both love animals... by the way, the most "good" character in act 1 is the cleric of Shar Shadow Heart. I like it, but it's weird and needs an explanation
Hmm. Actually I can see the parallels with Leliana, especially considering her background.
I want to use friendship magic in order to defeat my enemies and achieve my goals, this is the most powerful form of magic.
Even Astarion, Laezel and Minthara can wield this magic. As long as we are friends, we are invincible!
Yes, the biographies of Leliana and Shadow Heart are also similar, the author of this character definitely played Dragon Age and Leliana was in his top. Too many references
