I saw Spawn Astarion got a change, I think Selune Shadowheart should have a different reaction and not be okay with Tav cheating on her with Mizora. After a life time of broken trust, lies and deception cheating on her and doing everything stated before by breaking trust and deceiving her she shouldn't be okay with it a have a more severe reaction and break up with tav.

Please change this.

Yeah, they are not going to change this. People been asking this since the premiere and the writer just doesn't care. He doesn't want to change anything at all with Shadowheart. People were asking here, on reddit, on discord and even on twitter and the writer is just deaf.

Since the premiere everyone gets some small and big changes, but Shadowheart remained the same. It speaks volumes.

If you're on pc, I suggest this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/11524?tab=description
It's better than nothing. The modder will try to fix Selunite Shadowheart since her own writer hates her so much.

Honesty, it would make sense if she had a change of heart in those areas. In fact, it's there from the beginning if you're observant. "Got to stay focused, I can't afford to get attached... to anyone...". This line alone speaks volumes of what she truly wants in life - companionship.

Continuing on her Sharran path is fine if nothing is changed, in fact, make her even more heartless and uncaring. After all, that's what's said will happen anyway. Throughout the entire playthrough, to those that pay attention, it's clear she has inner turmoil. The Sharran path could clear her of that conflict in the darkest of ways, but so too should the Selunite path. Should also clear up the flirting around with other as well. Of course, I think this should go for all characters... It's just awkward.

One can always hope, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I don't think it's so much the writer doesn't care, and more of a want for the character to be a certain way. Which I understand... But I don't... Cheers.

Curious, cause Astarion route had so many changes even though his writer Stephen Rooney left Larian back in March.

That was the issue we discussed months ago here. Tl;dr, SH and Halsin's writer thinks his writing is perfect and doesn't need any changes at all. And he's deaf to any feedback, especially when it comes to Shadowheart.

SH has no problems with this, she doesn't suddenly become aggro because of Selune. Just because people think it fits better that way, there are plenty of people who don't see it the same way, her author obviously agrees.

And her author has every right to disagree, it's his character after all. People obviously find her two paths with plot holes. As Sharran SH she was pretty much groomed for this kind of behaviour as you can learn by reading notes and by listening to NPCs.

As Selunite SH she wants to forget her Sharran past and everything that involves it. She doesn't want more lies, deception and all that. She wants trust between her and Tav. She wants love. So Tav going behind her back to sleep with Mizora? That's literally a prime example of what Selunite SH doesn't want. Deception and lies. And cheating.

It's not about being "aggro", it's about SH suddenly having amnesia or ignoring what she was saying as Selunite.

And with respect, if Halsin's fans keep demanding to make changes to his character, we are also allowed to ask for changes for SH, too.

Halsin didn't become a husband and because of the MC he didn't become mono, that was constantly demanded by a few here and on Discord and they didn't get it (a good thing).
We can go with Halsin right away and have to babysit, otherwise you can't stay with Halsin, he's even leaving Karlach because the children are more important to him (it suits him).
If the author of SH sees it that way and wrote that way, then that's it. The game has been out for a year and the threads haven't changed anything about SH with their Selune path.

And? We can still ask, just like other people ask about their LIs. If you have a problem with it, you can always move on and ignore the thread ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have no problem with that and just keep asking... smile
But don't accuse the author of hating his own character, etc.

You do seem to have a problem, because you are making excuses when you could've just ignored the thread, since you're so sure nothing's gonna change. So really, again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

? I'm writing and will continue to write, even if I don't think much of this thread.
Oh yes, the author really likes SH, he once commented on something like that.

It's so obvious who shows what, but I don't have time for a "discussion" like that. 🙃

They won’t changed it because Larain as a whole made the decision to have shadowheart not care about cheating regardless of the path she is on which is a shame.

I hope they change it, they really need to they haven't done anything for shadowheart in that regard and it makes no sense for her to be ok with it as well with poly on her Selune route. It's so frustrating that they won't listen on this they change many others reactions but won't hear our complaints on this.
They also need to change the poly interactions with Shadowheart on her selune route and for her to not be okay with it, it makes no sense and was a last minute addition that ruins RP, character arcs and immersion it's disgusting.
