I'll be honest, i think the whole Shar thing is going to be the predictable 'haunted past i was forced into but im really just a person that wants to be loved' cliche, but i'm fine with that if they continue to make her more pleasant to be around. I have no interest in having to pass a dozen skill checks just to find out that yes, all those shar icons on my outfit do indeed mean that I'm a follower of shar and i'm glad you don't car and if i don't pass those checks i get treated like a piece of shit for daring to try to get to know her.
Patch 5 is a step in the right direction as far as i'm concerned
Oh yeah. D&D crpgs tend to hold tight to tropes and I don't expect any more. I was always a bit annoyed that we're just forced to leave her trapped until now. I didn't begrudge her attitude in light of that. And a lot of her critical dialogue was very much "are you crazy? That's such a big risk!" By comparison I get quickly tired of Lae'zel snarling and going on about the superiority of the githyanki. I'm interested in her story yes. But she's not a priority for me.
I'd like Alfira, Shadowheart, and that wounded teifling the cultists want you to kill over her.
But most of that is personal taste.
