I want to see if Hexbears opinion differs from other places

catgirl-disgust How is Shadowheart in the lead? Like she's not bad or anything, but if she's your favourite you probably think salt is spicy.

Hot take: Shadowheart as the main character is the best choice because you don't have to deal with her being an emo weirdo. Just respec into whatever class you want. Also you get better understanding of her backstory, and romancing Laezel or Karlach is extremely spicy. Also, to be the gothiest person alive you can go the evil route and romance Minthara.

In terms of whose quips I enjoy most, its definitely Astarion. Hes so fucking gay, hes dripping with gay

i played a few hours and was gonna vote for her purely due to disliking her the least out of the starter companions before i saw the girl reading this

Because she and Minthara are the only "classically attractive" female companions and the majority of Hexbear users are still female-attracted people with relatively average standards for attractiveness. And Minthara isn't available until the later chapters.

average standards for attractiveness

i guess that's why it would be the average

her backstory and quest are the most fleshed out and tied to the story, the main quest should have been more about Shar/Selune instead of the scuffed mindflayer bullshit, imo

yeah. i didn't let her go blonde, so i assume i must have missed part of the appeal, but i really don't get it. everyone else is so much more fun. until i saw all those polls etc i wouldn't even have guessed that she had fans. she's kind of just... there

TBF Shadowheart is the protagonist of the game for some reason.
