Oh the interactions are absolutely adorable and Shaddy is so darn cute now, a bit too cute in fact that I can't imagine her as a selfish zealot anymore (unless I turn Scratch into a hotdog)
But in the scope of content inequality, to me at least, it is impossible to be happy when they're showering the most overdeveloped character with even more fully voiced and animated new flavor content, while their most underdeveloped character is missing her most basic default interactions. She did not get a single newsworthy content highlight this update apart from the knockout reaction which was already in the game for months anyway. The rest is just the usual minimum effort tradition of minor bug fixes and enablement of broken dialogue, as new bugs get thrown into her mix. Even the evil ending
which was supposed to be the very highlight of her entire character journey treated her like trash.
I wish every companion had fluid camp interactivity like Shaddy does, I wish every companion had such a beautifully overdeveloped love scene like Gale does (god that entire scene from start to finish is so perfectly made I was grinning from so much joy how much passion and effort went into creating it), I wish every character was integrated into the main story as Shaddy and Bae'zel are... because I equally love and
'try to enjoy' all characters. That's what makes these types of games so much fun for me, to be able to explore and enjoy each character equally. But unfortunately that's not the case with BG3 because the content inequality is so severe.
I try to enjoy Minthara... she's broken as hell and missing content, ruins my mood. Halsin at least has a romance and is a very fun character, but not too far from Minthara's state and just like her has no purpose in ACT III. Wyll is not needed outside the camp whatsoever since all his quests are literally solved without him, but I do love romancing him. Karlach I just wish was integrated more into the main story (for example by having more encounters with Zariel's lackeys and I truly wish we could've seen Zariel in the flesh. I will forever be disappointed by her not being included at all).
