I never thought I'd see people try to downplay the quietly monstrous nature of Shar.
Hardly surprising, people love the misunderstood trope these days. Quite scary when it comes to real life, quite questionable when it comes to fictioncal dieties of murder, everlasting darkness and the like.
It isn't always about a misunderstood thing. In both real life and fiction, people have committed some pretty crappy acts in the name of "good" god(s) and some much nicer people can be found following the "evil" ones or none at all. Most people would not go anywhere near Shar worship, but it is very possible that someone could have turned to her because they lost everything in their lives and none of the other gods answered their prayers or whatever. Grief and desperation change a person. Also since the game needs to go into more detail about this stuff, it needs to be objective. Can't be talking about the "monstrous" nature of Shar because only good and some neutral types would see it as that. It is immersion breaking to call it that for players trying to do an evil playthrough. Call her an evil god or whatever because that is her alignment, but the game should not try to force an opinion on people.
