But to be fair, my primary Tav (paladin) won't buckle if Shadowheart is truly Sharran through and through. If she throws her lot in with them for real, killing innocents in silence in Act3, it's Sacred weapon time.
However Larian's too clever by half to present us with such simple, if unpleasant, decisions. Nope, there'll be chance to sway her to redemption of a sort - but probably not to something completely wholesome.
And anyway, that Tiefling swordswoman with the black humoured wager is actually more appealing in demeanor. Not to mention Karlach's face has really been beautified.

I like Gale's friendship - he's cool, I've got his back, he's got mine. Yep, if he betrays my Tav... Well he won't. Nope, not my buddy Gale. And his fetish for magic items? Well, pretty tame if you ask me. Any anyway, I prefer simple +1 stuff. Easy math and all.
