I just finished Shadowheart's quest in act 3 and had a little scene with her at the statue. And it felt really awkward while romanced.

She started crying and my character just stands there and watches? Not even an option to hug my GIRLFRIEND after all that's happened? After her parents died?

Is this serious? I could hug Karlach after her engine got fixed in act 2, but there's no way to hug my girlfriend when she needed it most? This isn't the first disappointing situation with SH romance. There are barely any romance dialogue options in her romance throughout the story and most of her scenes don't look different from normal, friendly path. Can't even tell her that I love her or express any sorts of feelings and from what I gathered, it was her last scene in act 3.

Can we PLEASE at the very least get an option to hug her during that one scene? Her romance is already very lackluster compared, to say, Karlach, but in that moment it felt like a slap in the face.

It felt like writers forgot that basic human interactions exist. Hugging, kissing, anything.

EDIT: typos.
