Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General New players and the problem with Shar

The problem is when I first really booted up this game here is what happened:


- Discover SH big big secret and my character is outraged.

- Now learn who Shar is through SH and the environment.

- Now see Selune in the final sections of Act 1

- Now see even more Shar in the final section of Act 1

Do you see the problem?
Maybe the big reveal should have been way way later in Act 1 when the game has ample opportunity to show me who Shar is and why SH being a worshiper is such a contentious issue.
I mean now after playing ACT 1 several times I know who and what Shar is but a new player on their first playthrough there was a lot of confusion.
And honestly why should my character care who their companions worship unless the religion in question puts me in danger.

Again compared to a vampire who can kill me or a Githyanki who will kill me if I look at her funny I think a Sharran worshipper is the least of my worries.
