...someone pointed out the black circles all over Shadowheart's design and made a joke about how obvious her secret is. And others agreed, not thinking through...
That's probably fair. The reason I jumped on the bandwagon was that as someone who doesn't know the lore, when the big reveal occurs, I thought the available dialog options were a kick to the head. All of a sudden the *nicest* dialog option with one of the must important party members is "I don't care"? So, when I see people who do know the lore pointing to reasons why I shouldn't have been surprised, that clicked.
So I'm (and I think everybody is) 100% with there needing to be more Shar lore offered before that scene. Whether or not she should have a different appearance or inspire different reactions is a debatable point. For me, from how others have described it, it seems like there's too much of a confluence of indications for "sometimes a circle is just a circle" to be convincing.
