The Shar-Selune content was *chef's kiss* perfect. Kethric was great. In fact BG3 probably the best representation of Shar I've seen smile Love it.

But I to assign someone of Viconia's level to raising just one child who is neither a chosen nor a child of Selune? That's weird. Remember that at the end of ToB Viconia was the strongest servant of Shar in the realms. In the existing story SH is just some rando selunite kid - which doesn't make much sense to me.

I suspect that SH was originally chosen or demigod. I think it would have better if she remained as such.

@Tarlonniel. I guess I think chapter 2 is her chapter, it's a big chapter and it's all about Shar and the nightsong. Lae'zel gets some good content but the monastery quest is just so much smaller than the shadowlands.

But I could be biased because I just love FR lore and thought the representation of Shar was picture perfect.

But I have missed out of both Gale and Astarian - Gale I skipped and kicked out Astarian because I got tired of him complaining about all my choices. I'm glad I got to see the EA Astarian that was quick to trust and easy to romance otherwise I would have missed his story entirely.


really? I went the evil route and gave SH to Viconia for allies and, she never mentioned it, from the content I saw the purpose of it was to build a powerbase in the coast for Shar, give security for Viconia and save the world through defeating absolute, SH was entirely presented as a wayward personal side project not the whole purpose? That really undermines all the fantastic writing they showed in building the HoG as an evil organisation that helps people but for evil reasons, a masterfully and really well written story and setting beat. To make it all about SH? that just undermines everything they worked to set up and write?
I loved what I saw of what they did with Viconia, gutted to hear they undermine all that if you make different choices

Minthara is the best character and she NEEDS to be recruitable if you side with the grove!
Also- I support the important thread in the suggestions: Let everyone in the Party Speak
