Seriously though, first impressions are important. I still remember having to roll a series of ridiculously hard skill checks just for her to state the obvious "I'm a cleric of Sharr.". And if you fail a single one, the "bonus content" you get is "eff off, don't talk to me", so I simply stopped trying to talk to her. I don't care that she has a 'good' reason to be snarky, I care that she's snarky.
Okay, I do realise that there’s no point relitigating a change that’s already been made, so please forgive me for just saying that I didn’t find early Shadowheart overly snarky if you just gave her a bit of time to get to know you, and let her spill her secrets once they became more relevant to events in the world. I just remember feeling that she very, very much disliked being pressured before she was ready, which I found fair enough especially as iirc she did tell me as much.
Still, I think she’s still great now so am not going to complain about the update if it helps reduce the frustration other folk clearly felt with the fact that the game gave us the opportunity to keep pestering Shadowheart to the point she got really pissed off.
