Yeah, a good party would be great, I agree.
My only concern with SH at the moment is, that all her conversations are packed behind a wall of roll checks. And as lucky as my girl is normally with rolls, she didn't manage to succeed in a single conversation roll with SH. You can end the EA with not having had one normal conversation with her.
Btw:I do like Gale, apart from his little problem.
Well, I understand and share this frustration from companion content being locked behind dice rolls. This is stupid period. They should find better ways to develop her story. and they already have approval system in place, why not use it?
However, I don't think it's a problem with shadwoheart as a character and you shouldn't conflate the two together
I didn't say that the dice role diminishes SH as a character, I only said that it is annoying, that her whole character development is behind dice roles. I can't say much about SH character apart from her snapping at me when I ask a question now, after 4 or so botched roles. I think, for this playthrough, I won't get any more from SH, maybe I have more luck next time - because that's all that is - luck. I wish, at least a few of her conversations were based on things you actually do, but apart from the dreams, which get reactions from all companions, there is just nothing.
And I'm all for more companions.
Edit: I finally succeeded in a roll and found out something about SH - I want fanfares now. I think, it wasn't really me, that convinced her, but the dog (he was standing behind me, looking at SH with big eyes).
