I do see people who are used to female characters being soft and responsive. That real problem here...
I disagree, that's not a problem, being a soft and responsive woman is perfectly fine, and it would be nice to have that represented in the game by at least one character.
Soft and responsive women bring out the protective instinct in us the same way Astarion brings out the saviour complex in many of us. Having several characters to connect to is nice, and not everyone will be appreciative of Laezel's whole strongwoman schtick. That being said I think Shadowheart is a top notch companion so far, I find her very gripping. I just wish Larian revealed some of the enw companions soon, because I want to complain about the stuff I don't like about them.
Larian has already been told that you will have more companions, so maybe just wait? but people can't wait, they literally say that the companions we have now are "angry and aggressive", which is why they changed Shadow. I didn't say that soft female characters are bad, I said that the fact that people can't perceive strong and rough female characters this is a problem. Do you see the difference? And ppl bring up topic like this again and again, in every thread, when it is already known that there will be more companions. This is early access! Did you know?
So why do we continue to condemn characters like Shadow and Lae? That's exactly what you're doing here guys.
"Well Lae is very rude... nothing prevents you from removing it...."
I mean, I did not accidentally answer exactly the post, which literally boils down to the fact that Lae as a character does not trust you enough and is not open enough. She's an evil git, and this is only the first act. Once again, read the post to which I originally replied, please.
Astarion did not awaken in me saviour complex, lol. more like an instinct to fall into the abyss. I think it's very individual.
