Well hello, good people, yet another person who registered specifically for this thread here.
I am in, like, the first half of act two, and like right after I got to the Last Light Inn and learned about the Big Problem with Karlach's heart I decided "screw it, I want to know" and went to Google. And like, I was potentially ready for this whole game to be a tragedy (hell, wouldn't even be surprised if Tav themselves wasn't going to make it, Cyberpunk style).
What I wasn't ready to learn was that no, everyone else can make it to some degree at least, EXCEPT for the woman I came to learn about. Whom I chose to romance. My hands down favorite character in the game. And, apparently, for no good reason and with perfectly good options being presented by the plot and left right under their noses. What in the Hells.
Now, is "coming to terms with inevitable and learning to live the days you have left to the fullest" a potentially good storyline? Yes, potentially. As it has been pointed out multiple times, however, it's only good when it's 100% inevitable and not a wild goose chase where you never allow yourself to lose hope.
Am I unfortunately proficient in writing and drawing fix-it endings after my favorite character gets completely let down by the narrative? Also yes, and by god if it comes to that I will, but I shouldn't have to in a game of this scale! With, again, plot points being laid out!
Honestly, even if there were no weirdly wasted plot opportunities - this is DnD. Resurrection is canonically a thing both in the TTRPG and literally in the videogame itself. As of 5e resurrection spell literally grows back missing body parts. Get the engine out when it gets lethal, do the resurrection, let her original heart grow back now that the space is free. It's a level 7 cleric spell. Shadowheart is RIGHT THERE.
Anyway, considering the laid down groundwork, I'll join the camp of the hopeful for a fix/update. Would prefer it to be added sooner than a whole new game edition, but I'll take it whenever.
P.S. is there any other place where I should also add my voice to? I think someone mentioned a Discord channel? I rarely use Discord, but I'm willing to go yell there too if it helps.
