Y’all remember Annah in Planescape Torment? I expect Shadowheart to betray us in a similar fashion. Still my favorite. Also,it’s kinda humorous how she was the most hated at the start of EA and a few tweaks later she appears to be the most liked…
Personally, I don’t think how much I like her has changed but only because I assume the change is only on the surface. I really enjoyed her earlier snarkiness, and kind of miss it. But yes, I take it that her later version is just her better hiding her true contempt, in a way that is more consistent with being a Sharran mistress of deception, and that we’ll still get to see her true colours later in the game. I do think I’d like this new, “nicer” Shadowheart heart less, though, if I hadn’t seen her nastier version first and so wasn’t as easily able to imagine what she’s probably actually still thinking behind her more pleasant mask.
If it turned out in the full game that Larian have made her actually nicer, rather than simply made her appear nicer to begin with, then she’d definitely drop behind Gale and Astarion for me!
