Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Disappointed in Shadowheart

Hello Forum,

I am looking forward to creating a Neutral Good Cleric of the Life Domain who worships SELUNE. I am hoping that I will be allowed to not only recruit Shadowheart [SHAR] but also romance her as well.

This option should be entirely allowed.

Are there not people among our current world society of different faiths who fully love each other? There are many happy mixed couples of Muslin, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, Wicca and Atheist faiths. If you happen to believe that it is more appropriate to compare the world of the Forgotten Realms to life on Ancient Earth than so be it. I believe my theory still applies. Pantheon-ism was definitely more prevalent in early human civilization especial among Egypt, Greece and Scandinavia. People embraced the Gods on a whole as each one represented a different sphere but many chose to worship one that stood for their ideals or their fears. Did people in Egypt who found RA more enticing always want to lash out at follows of SET? No, they did not. Did worshipers of HADES always want to fight followers of APHRODITE in the day to day existence of Greek life? No, they did not.

Plus, SELUNE and SHAR are twin sisters. They definitely each have different thoughts and agendas but each one knows the other is necessary for their existence.

An excerpt from Forgotten Realms lore:

“The goddesses were beautiful, identical but polar opposites, raven-haired and silver-haired, one representing the dark, the other the light in the manner of yin and yang. Yet they were so close they saw themselves as one being, known later as the Two-Faced Goddess or the Sisters-Who-Were-One. They complemented each other and brought order out of the chaos.”

THANK YOU

Okay, so Shadowheart does not like Githyanki and you have to pass a persuasion check to get her to join if playing as one. Why does she not treat a cleric of Selune the same way? You'd think she'd have at least some reaction to a PC cleric asking to join forces - even if she thinks she can hide her Shar-worship for a while, there's a major conflict of interest, especially the way she reacts to any of the Selune statues or the temple.
