There are two women you will encounter that can join your party; an alien-looking lady without a nose that is always demanding things and telling you how terrible you are. The other chick that is the Forgotten Realms equivalent of Captain Marvel: to be a strong woman you have to be an asshole to men. Neither of these are attractive qualities.
Sorry to step off-topic, but I am constantly fascinated by people's opinions of Shadowheart. Here more than anywhere else, it feels as though they've played an entirely different game from me. Maybe it's just because I haven't played it for the past couple of patches and have missed changes, but she always seems perfectly reasonable and even-handed to me. She's like Gale-shady, but perfectly agreeable for the most part. Lae'zel is so far my favorite character but I totally get the majority of criticism about her. Not so with a lot of Shadowheart complaints.
