Shadowheart is really not a bad person at all, and definitely should not be judged based on speculations of potential past crimes...which we don't even know if they happened or to what extent, and much less so if she was under the influence of mind control, which would make her fully innocent. Really I would be surprised if her plot doesn't lead to memory restoration and redemption...assuming you want to redeem her. Which I suspect redeeming her would change her subclass due to the nature of shadow magic and how it works, or doesn't to be more precise, if you are not loyal to Shar.
I'll personally take Shadowheart down a darker path but to treat her as evil from the start of the game is just wrong.
I fully agree, aside from the last point. Talking about this topic makes me want to redeem her *now*.
But yeah, there is a massive hint that she can be redeemed. Actually, she acts many times more like a Selunite than a Sharran. And what she "know" about Selune is just outright wrong. The brainwashing I mentioned did not even bother overly with implanting Shars dogma into her aside from some bullet points. It really is just "Shar is good, Selune is evil and don't think about this too hard".
Like I said earlier, she was just brainwashed for a suicide mission, not for continued service to Shar. But if she goes down a dark path, Shar just rolls with it and allows Tav to turn her into a Sharran. Or the weird voice in her head if you play her as an Origin, I guess.
