All of then will get a lot of updates. You cant even get to the creche which is going to be full of Lazael scenes and Astarion has like 4 more voiced dialogues for the 1st act that haven't been released yet.


Are you perhaps telling this to me?

I always said that Shadow constantly knocks down my dialogues with Astarion, I don't care how many lines he has, I don't see or hear them, because the game chooses Shadow's dialogues. I talked about this even before patch 5. To hear Astarion's dialogues, I had to literally go through the game only with him. But Shadow interrupts not only his dialogues, but everyone in general. If I take her in party, then the game chose only her. And yes I dont like it. For Astarion they really added 4 new scenes (they alrdy released if u dont know), but they are not related to the plot at this stage in any way. Shadow's scenes are already connected not only with her personal mission, but also with the main plot.

As I have already said, I am not annoyed by Shadow herself as a character, I am annoyed by her presentation, I want to reduce her importance if I take her to the group. Every companion should be important, this is not the case with her.

For example:

if I take Gale, Lae, Astarion it's 50/50 for all (reactions to dialogues, expressing an opinion)

if I take Lae, Astarion, Shadow it's 90% for Shadow and 10% for others

Now u get it? It's great that you love Shadow, but she's not my favorite, so I want her importance to be the same as others, and not more than that.
So don't care about how many lines each character gets but you post exactly how many each has? Got it. 100% believable
Did you even read what I said tho? Lazael will get more plot related dialogue with the creches, Gale will probably get his story with mistra tied with the main plot later on, Astarion will get more plot related in the second act cause obviously Cazador will be important. Sorry but how does it make sense to give astarion plot related content in the first act when he has nothing to do with what's going on right now? Like lazael has the creche, Shadowheart the box, Wyll the goblins and Gale and Astarion will get more plot related later in BG and Waterdeep. Plus they are updating them 1 by 1 so probably everyone will get the bigger chance at dialogue reactions (even tho I awlays get different people) so they can see the reception of the character. Shadowheart was just the first.
