I think V should be recruitable, and then once in your party should have dialogue to explore different aspects of her story/
First off because to ally with her you have to give her SH, so now you're out a cleric. Recruiting her would gamewise make sense.
There's actually alot of potential in the story larian has given her. Running the HoG, providing aid and helping people, all in the name of an evil goddess, and then her part in the mission, sending SH to get the artifact because who cares if Shar didn't tell her to save the world, she lives in the world and has saved it before so yeah she's going to prove to Shar she is a best priest of Shar by ignoring her orders and saving the world to spite her.
That has SO MUCH potential as a good story, but BG3 is about SH so it makes it all about SH, if we could recruit V after giving her SH, we'd get to hear her side of the story and give her some agency and power back over her story.
as for S
I don't like it, but compared to 5e canon, he is a homeless drug-addicted priest of Bhaal who lives on the streets of BG city, tormented by his immortality.
That was bad, and mean spirited and gross. Him being a powerful cult leader and a grandfather, it undermines his ToB story but it's better than M&BBoV
I can kind of see how, if he became lost he could find identity and power in the cult of bhaal, even if he doesn't believe those who do worship him and it's not like he can return to the Iron Throne. So I guess it works?
