Its not strangely enough. They only changed SH because of complaints she wasnt 'friendly' enough, cos god forbid a character isn't for male consumption. Given that this and atleast two other threads still continue to be devoted to the issue, she'll probably be Aerie or bubbly no personality flirts with PC constantly by the time EA is over and then well, female gamers won't play the game.
SH writing was good, when the EA started it was brilliant. Her only problem is the vocal minority of players who dominate this forum wearing away everything well written about her to make her more appealing to their fantasies.
Every change made to appeal to this 'fans' creates inconsistencies and 'bad writing'.
If an annoying female character was enough to get me to stop playing a game, Shadowheart would have had me uninstalling from hello, and I am a female gamer.
Shadowheart is almost viscerally repellent to me. I don’t think I’ve ever come to despise a character in any game so thoroughly so fast. I didn’t ask Larian to change her, though if she got turned into a bubbly airhead, she couldn’t possibly be more grating than she is now. Lae’zel is much more interesting.
