I saw a screenshot where Lae’zel KIDNAPS you to go off to fight Vlaakith, if you let her make her own decision. Even if you’re romancing somebody else. Is this true? If so, it’s pretty hilarious because it’s so in character for her.
Also, I’m pissed that they got rid of Hope’s +4 shield lol.
I saw a new Lae'zel dialogue option when she gets mounts the dragon and you can say it's her decision (stay or fight Vlaakith) - aside from that, my non Lae'zel endings played out as usual.
Very pleased with the new Shadowheart kisses, the one we were teased must have been the Sharran variant because the Selunite one is quite lovely. The other new one I like a lot too.
The improved Elfsong scene after defeating the Netherbrain is a nice touch.
Was hoping it was just me, but it seems the Grymforge "kiss me like you hate me" interaction is indeed still AWOL, but I rarely play a Selune Cleric anyway so I won't lose sleep.
Just started a new playthrough and looking forward to hearing Shadowheart's new Act II banter.
Yes, the Selunite path kisses are very cute, I like them a lot. They exceeded my expectations. They may be a teensy bit awkward, but they grow on me more and more… the more that I, er, watch them, hehe. Btw there are four unique kiss animations that I saw. So more than two, for sure. Overall an excellent patch for fans of Shadowheart! The Grymforge kiss issue notwithstanding.
And I watched the scene just after her Act 3 quest concludes and (spoilers of course)
The one after you save her parents is still definitely the better one, imo. You get to hug her, and then her parents sort of float up and do their thing and hug her too, so it’s really nice. I’m grateful that they didn’t do a big group hug, *everybody* together, because that would’ve been so awkward. Durge/Tav gets their nice little moment in before the parents walk up.
The scene after you sacrifice her parents is essentially the same as it was, except there is an embrace popped in there. So the dialogue options didn’t become any more empathetic that I can see. It is a LOT better than it was before. Still, I’ll take the saving her parents scene over that any day of the millennia.
Enjoy your playthrough! I love the resisting Durge converted to a Cleric of Selune angle, if you’re looking for an idea. It was so good. Throw a little bard in there for actual dialogue options, not stuffy cleric ones, and it’s excellent.
