So with the game prioritizing your avatar as the main speaker thing, I don’t think it’s actually fixed.
Can confirm.- Just had it happen to me with the Owlbear Cub. Shadowheart got chosen because she was closest to it, despite my character standing right next to her barely an inch away.
- It also happened in ACT II's final fight where once again Shadowheart got chosen because she was the closest to the pit after the battle.
