If I wanted the company of dudes, we'd go fishing, bowling, or just hang out and drink beer. For fantasy adventures I prefer strong heroic waifus.
For many people Shadowheart and/or Lae'zel is in fact that strong, heroic waifu. You're unfortunately in the minority that doesn't like them, but making blanket statements that Larian failed in that regard just seems rather disingenuous when the game is popular and these characters are well liked by the majority.
I never said Larian failed to deliver Lae'zel or Shadowheart's personalities. I said they failed to deliver companions who support you no matter what - aka waifus - and that's something millions of gamers actually want. How much clearer do I need to be? I broke down why I think Lae'zel and Shadowheart don't qualify as waifus. Seven pages in, and people still don't get it.

Everyone is fixated on my feelings while completely ignoring that I back them up with actual arguments. You all just reduce it to "just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't" while I'm out here explaining what's wrong with the characters and why they're unlikable.

There's nothing heroic about them. Absolutely none.
