Shadowheart's personality is fine, the realistic and "pragmatic" point of view in a fantasy situation complete with tentacle faced brain gobbling psychics is mildly refreshing even. That being said her nigh on constant disapproval of the overwhelming majority of my actions and choices is bloody irksome.
For instance there I am taking on a quest to help a bunch of refugees, feels good like doing the right thin- Shadowheart disapproves... Oh hey there's that fighter who helped me out on that ship Sure i'll help get her out of that cage-Shadowheart disapproves ...
Even Lae'zel who is vicious, ruthless, malicious and borderline sadistic at times is easier to get along with...
Astarion the murderous psychopath vampire just as easy to get along with strangely while even staying in the good graces of Gale and Wyll.
These things do not really factor into combat though I will say they do factor slightly into how I feel about bringing any of them along as at the very least Lae'zel and Astarion can back up those negative tendencies with the ability to really make good on them. Where as Shadowheart just kinda sits there judging me for not being an opportunistic self serving jerk, only to prove themselves of overall "okay" combat value later on. which doesn't exactly buy a lot of care or respect from me.
