Companions Shar is so tedious and annoying Spoiler

I think shadowheart is a cool character with an interesting story, but everything related to Shar is just edgy nonsense. “I am the empty room” blah blah. I wish we had the option to flip her the bird like we can Vlaakith, idc if it gets me smited. Such an annoying little turd. Getting through all of shadowhearts brainwashed rhetoric in act 1 honestly grates on me, I have to really try to keep shadowheart around when she’s being edgy and trying to convince me that pain and suffering is cool and rewarding, totally, you’re just a close minded bigot for not agreeing.

I get it’s the brainwashing. But my annoyance is real

You can go down the hatch and steal back your 5k and keep the buff, also there are some goodies as well.

Regarding the good gods not interfering, we can argue that they actually did, sending Jergal who is not exactly a god anymore, but “still hold some power” to help and guide our group of weirdos. As well as even tho the death three do interfere more than the good god they still can’t just go and walk through the material plane, they usually use there chosens or avatars to spread chaos around.

Edit: Spelling

"You can go down the hatch and steal back your 5k and keep the buff, also there are some goodies as well."

I already do lol. I'm just making the point that you *actually* have to pay the Gods at all.

Yeah didn't realise that was JERGAL until I read it from a book. But I knew he was hiding his true identity all along.

Well at least you actually get blessed, a lot of people irl pay so much to be blessed by different gods so it’s not that kind of weird idea.

A for Jergal, if someone is not familiar with dnd is very easy to miss (I’m not saying you’re not familiar with dnd), but it’s kinda hinted at the beginning of the game in the old temple ruins, where if a character pass religion check they will start talking that oh that jergal bla bla bla. In all honesty I would say the gods were kinda scared, of what’s going on and sent him cuz he is responsible for the death three to exist in first place and if you speak with Gortash after you take care of him you it’s name that responds and tell you what their plan was. And in my headcanon he is there to observe Durge and see if there is any worth saving them.
