Guys, what are the chances of this debacle at least being acknowledged by Larian? Some of the feedback threads on Discord regarding it can't be reacted to for some reason, and I have no idea how they would even sort through them in the first place. As for Reddit, the posts that criticise this don't seem that popular and get downvoted/ignored. I've only ever seen one get around 7k upvotes. I guess that this and the Halsin thread are one of the more popular threads on the forum, so we have that going for us.
Our problem is a rather niche problem, it makes sense that it doesn't get that much attention. Halsin is a much bigger problem. If the Halsin problem gets fixed, our problem gets (partially) fixed with it. I don't know how Larian reacts to feedback so I have no idea how likely it is, though. Evidently they make an effort to have it at least seem like they care otherwise they wouldn't give us so many tools to provide it.

She seems like she blames Mizora for this obviously(some people tend to react this way) and she doesn't say anything about her expecting to cheat though. She just expects you not to praise her because of what she thinks of herself, what a bad person(and lost person, she feels like she is nothing without her godess) she is. That's also main source of her insecurity. First line to Mizora, swan line, last 2 lines suggest that she is not ok. I read it this way. Thus being said, some disapproval would seal a deal(Seriously I watched yt reactions to Mizora cheat and only who disapproves is Wyll).
The breakup line shows that she's not intent on giving you the chance to reply if you do something she's really disappointed about. Other companions let you either explain yourself or ask you if that's truly what you want (at least for Karlach and Wyll).
She doesn't blame Mizora for it, that's something Karlach does. Karlach specifically says that she understands how devils are with their tricks. Karlach is also truly disappointed in you and you have to be very careful with dialogue choices to not have her break up with you. That's what I at the very least expected from Shadowheart as well. But all she does is say she understands and even if you pick the most brutal dialogue options indicating that you're more or less planning on doing it again, she just reacts sarcastically. There's no disappointment, no sadness, no "my world just broke apart, is this what I abandoned Shar for?" level of breakdown you'd expect if she was truly as insecure as you think she is and you double down on the decision to cheat on her.
The "swan" stuff is where she essentially says she expected you to cheat on her, because if she didn't want to get cheated on she'd have gotten together with a swan. It's ridiculous.
And yes, at the very least there should be a massive approval drop. But that's the case for all companions. Approval just feels more or less abandoned as a system in act 3.
