Choosing to trust Shadowheart and watching her set Aylin free is my favorite moment of any game I've ever played.
@zoddmark58738 ай бұрын
My heart was in my throat at that decision. I really didn't want to reload, so I thought long and hard, looking at the interactions I had with Shadowheart throughout the game. I knew she didn't handle people pushing her very well and questioning all things Shar, and I noticed the doubt creeping into her conversations with me. I put my trust in Larian just as much as I put it in Shadowheart because I know that other developers might be more willing to treat companions as things to control and tell what to do, but I could tell Larian wanted these characters to seem like actual people who can act on their own motivations and beliefs and that trust paid off.

Shadowheart's not just freeing Aylin, she's choosing herself as well, accepting her truth even though it's painful. Rejecting the sunk-cost fallacy sucks, but it's the only way she can escape a situation where the best she can aspire to is numbness without the possibility of growth.
@potterfanz67807 ай бұрын
Oh wow, I didn't know it ended like that. My last session with my brother ended right after this scene, and Shadowheart seemed like she was fully devoted to Shar. She rejected my criticisms, and being unwilling to let her kill the Nightsong, I decided to fight her and free the Nightsong ourselves.

I love the bit where Jaheira looks over to her blades and is ready to pick them up again (though this clip is bugged as she isn’t meant to be wearing them already) after she had previously said to your character that she was old and tired and didn’t want to keep fighting. Seeing an Angel crossing the shadowed sky and knowing that meant you still fought the good fight meant that she got a sliver of hope back.

You could make an entire campaign just leading up to this moment.
