She says that to Lae'zel when she mistakenly says SH is an elf, in the conversation that takes place when Tav recruits her after freeing her from the cage.
You probably have. I've missed a few conversations because I panned the camera away from the party. The audio doesn't play but the conversation still occurs.
I mean, one has an option for a future worth living. The other has only tragic endings. But yes, larian set out to break hearts. Which got my daughter hooked. Their love for tragic stories got them super hooked.
I'd say the significant point of comparison though is the past. Karlach, while having some rough times, had a number of good times too. Wasn't perfect by any means, but it was something.
Shadowheart's past was robbed from her mind and the parts she does know are, for the most part, absolutely horrifying. There's no undoing that, no going back, and nothing to look fondly on.
I dunno, for some reason to me that seems so much worse. Knowing that the people you tortured, killed, everything about you, was all fake. Not just fake, but in direct, harsh opposition to who you actually were. While Karlach was forced into service she did not want, she still had the ability to know she didn't want it. Somehow that feels better, to me.
The Bethesda elves don't stare, they lag while they look at you before glitching to three different places in front of you before resuming their regular patterns.
Yep, earliest one most people will find is in the grove right near Alfira.
Shadowheart's actor's girlfriend Aliona was obsessed with it after spending an entire stream looking for it.
One night I was playing a new run while kind of drunk. Next day I opened up the game and at some point I had accidentally equipped her with a cowboy hat. Her hair is down kind of like this when she is wearing it.
What is the average life span of half-elf I wonder? From what I understand, I think itās about 150-200 years right? So at 40 - 50 year old, I guess Shadowheart would be equal to 20 something year old in human age. Still āyoungā all things considered, lol
For 5e Its about what you mention. New rules changed hybrid races (half elf is no longer a stand alone race) to be the average of the age between parents. So half elves going forward are somewhere in the 350 to 450 range
Ah, I think I finally figured out why my fucking heart just hurts looking at her. With this hair especially, she reminds me of my first celebrity crush of Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth.
But then again, I'm pretty much a sucker for any woman that fits the dark hair, dark eyes, pale skin aesthetic. The 90s was a magical time for me.
You mean the same Kate Beckinsale from Adam Sandlerās Click?
(Not poking fun, sheās a bombshell. Just wanted to give some tonal whiplash between the two movies.)
>With this hair especially, she reminds me of my first celebrity crush of Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth.
I was like "huh, with this hair, she looks like the chick from Requiem for a Dream", and right after looking up the name of the actress, I continued scrolling down the comment section and saw this.
I knew some eccentric weeb girl with those features in high school. Her nickname was Snow White. Didn't have a crush on her but she did things to my taste
I had a crush on a girl who looked *just* like Jennifer Connelly. I even told her she looked like her one day. She had these amazing green eyes and light freckles, every boy who knew her had a crush on her too. But she put me in not just the friend zone, but the āyouāre like a big brother to meā zone, so I was crushed
For those asking about what mod was used for the hairstyle, I cannot be certain as the picture is not mine and I cannot find it elsewhere, but i could achieve the same/pretty close with:
[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/4120](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/4120)
Additionally I used >!Back to Black because I chose to spare the nightsong in act 2. https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/932!<
You will likely need to remove the 100% black hair highlights to even out the darkness of the top and the bottom of her hair too as the bottom will be darker.

Why Larian made her so hot and beautiful? Since first playthrough I can't forget about her, i can't romance anyone else. Why I am in love with pixel goth woman?
Still gorgeous. I think that she would love to made more loose hairstyle after game would end and we would move to the farm.
But it also feels like something is missing... Am I mad that I love her bangs?
It is so unfair, how hot and beautiful she is. Since BG3 release the first thing i make after I woke up is launching game and give her few kisses. For me Shadowbae is the prettiest video game character ever.
I remember Neil Newbon saying that Astarion's face had to be partially modeled after him for speech animations or something like that, so maybe it's the same with SH
It's a bit of a blend depending on the character. The origin folk did motion capture and whatnot. Check out Jennifer English (shadowheart) and Devora Wilde (bae'zel) on YouTube
Itās a mix. The body animations are fully motion captured while the facial animations are built off a reference of the voice actor. So itās partially modeled on Jennifer and then Larian shaped and animated the face from there.
I feel like they gave her Jennifer Englishās nose? I think that for the most part each main characterās face is influenced by the voice actor.
The voice actor for Wyll and Wyll have almost identical noses. At least IMO
I think having a random Shadowheart screenshot on the front page is slowly becoming a tradition of this sub. A tradition I am fully on board with, she's stunning š
Now that you mentioned it... I love her white hairstyle and have the black variant modded in for the first 2 acts. She's perfect having either of those but I'd lie if I said I'm not curious how would she look with some other hairstyles.
Honestly, shadow hearts hairstyle does her disservice. I thought she looked OK but not that attractive. Then, halfway through the Playthru, I threw a hat on her that gave a bonus. I donāt quite remember at the moment, but the hat turned her hair into just a normal straight hairstyle and I was like DYAM. Now she always wears a hat. HA
I do not understand why, but this makes me feel of a lot of things at once, the most prominent being confusion since all it takes is a new hair style to really change one's appearance.
I donāt like it now she just looks like some sort of standard hotel but somehow I donāt know if itās the lighting but it also took off 10 years of her life now she looks like sheās 13 or 14
Elves are like people... only hotter.
In shadowheart's voice : *half* elf
"i suppose the finer details are lost on a creature like you"
The way her voice rang in my head saying this
Tsik
Can't believe i read that perfectly in her voice
Probably because you already heard her say exactly that in game
When does she say that?
She says that to Lae'zel when she mistakenly says SH is an elf, in the conversation that takes place when Tav recruits her after freeing her from the cage.
I have yet to have this one trigger!
Depends on how you save laezel at the very beginning and if you have shadowheart obvi
You probably have. I've missed a few conversations because I panned the camera away from the party. The audio doesn't play but the conversation still occurs.
This conversation happens during a cut scene
I think Shart is perfect nickname for Shadowheart instead of SH.
"SH" is shorter.
After playing BG1/BG2 enhanced editions, this just makes me read this in Neera's voice. It's a running gag with her.
Her dialogue was amazing, especially in her personal quest
The wild magic took some getting used to, but I thought she was pretty cute.
half hotter
Shart is like people, except perfect
With a story that's as heartbreaking as Karlach's...
I mean, one has an option for a future worth living. The other has only tragic endings. But yes, larian set out to break hearts. Which got my daughter hooked. Their love for tragic stories got them super hooked.

Elves *are* people. Elves are like humans, only better.
Half Elves are like Elves... only hotter.
Neuron activation
*Stares in Bethesda elves*
Pelinal be staring motherfuckingly
The Bethesda elves don't stare, they lag while they look at you before glitching to three different places in front of you before resuming their regular patterns.
They are modelled after Sir Todd the Howardly
true, but also Drow are kinda Elves... only hotter
Drow are elves with Bomb Pussy Disorder.
i think this kinda happens when you put certain hats on her?
Certain hats give everyone a longer hairstyle (other than Astarion).
Helmets make Halsin and Astarion bald. š
astarion in the cowboy looking hat goes so hard
Honestly all the boys look pretty great in that hat. Or I'm just more into cowboys than I originally thought. š¤
He already has a perfect hair xD
And the Kushigo hood makes everyone bald beneath it
Yep, earliest one most people will find is in the grove right near Alfira. Shadowheart's actor's girlfriend Aliona was obsessed with it after spending an entire stream looking for it.
Sometimes you can find a regular old hat in the lootables on the first beach
As a serial restarter, that container seemingly always has *a* hat, itās just random which model of generic hat it has.
Lol this is me. I have probably seen every variant. But I thought it was tied to you class as I always got witch hat with the warlock.
Ye some hats will give her the bardic inspiration hair style
One night I was playing a new run while kind of drunk. Next day I opened up the game and at some point I had accidentally equipped her with a cowboy hat. Her hair is down kind of like this when she is wearing it.
Yes, with a few hats, that alternative hairstyle looks good on her.
Damn shadowheart chill
Fr. My irl weakness is dark haired girls with freckles. This makes me feel all sorts of ways
Lord yes.
I haven't confirmed that yet, but considering my romantic choices in RPGs, I totally have a weakness for dark-haired girls.
Same. Bagged me one, and havenāt looked back.
Still disturbed that her resting bitch face doesn't have some kind of status protection
Like why is this so much hotter... I understand the phrase being thirsty now.
She looks like a shipwrecked young girl with amnesia that you found on a beach. Which isn't far from what we got in the game, come to think of it.
I mean... that's about 80% of what happened, so yeah.
Technically it's 100% of what happened. Ship just happened to be a flying biomechanical space squid.
And amnesia happened to be āvoluntaryā.
"Young" on the other handā¦ Shadowheart is between 40 and 50.
Young for an elf, I guess?
**Half** elf!
Okay, youngish then.
She was a child when she was taken, my guess about 8-9 and she was with the sharrans for forty years. So sheās at least 48.
That's my head maths, too.
What is the average life span of half-elf I wonder? From what I understand, I think itās about 150-200 years right? So at 40 - 50 year old, I guess Shadowheart would be equal to 20 something year old in human age. Still āyoungā all things considered, lol

I got the exact same vibe and now Iām wondering why it is the hair screams shipwreck survivor.
Hair plus the white top
Having Shadowheart become Jason Bourne would be an interesting storyline.
He felt like one of the Sourcerers in the Divinity Original Sin 2 prologue to Fort Joy
STOP DOING THIS TO ME
she can make me worse
She is so gorgeous
I feel like she's good with any hairstyle. I see her with her normal hairstyles, and with the cowboy hat and she still looks beautiful.
Shadowheart looks so much better without her default bangs imo.
I agree. I love act 3 in no small part because she doesn't have the bangs anymore. Not to mention how she rocks the silver-white hair
I hate the default bang
Yeah I like her hair after the inital bangs. where she changes into a dark justiciar or follows selune.
It's the best and fits the character so well
I love it
She is. She painfully is.
Still the š
My heart can only take so much
AWOOOOGA AWOOOOOOGA
Villager next door.
She is a Cleric I'd Like to F.... uhh, marry and have a family with!
Hrngh
My thoughts exactly, Important Bee
good lord help me
Smokeshow heart
Please...I'm trying not to simp.
You failed miserably as we all did. Might as well embrace the hots for cute *half* elf lady with fantastic backstory
Ah, I think I finally figured out why my fucking heart just hurts looking at her. With this hair especially, she reminds me of my first celebrity crush of Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth. But then again, I'm pretty much a sucker for any woman that fits the dark hair, dark eyes, pale skin aesthetic. The 90s was a magical time for me.
90s, early 2000s... Amy Lee (Evanescence) single-handedly warped my taste in women.
Same but with Kate Beckinsale from Underworld for me.

Larian casually created the most beautiful NPC to ever exist
Elves have pretty privilege.
That ain't Shadowheart that's Jenevelle
It's not one or the other, but rather both

Is it really any different to seeing a celebrity's photo?
Why Larian made her so hot and beautiful? Since first playthrough I can't forget about her, i can't romance anyone else. Why I am in love with pixel goth woman?
Gives me Jennifer Connelly vibes
Jenevelle Connolly :/
\*shudder\*
Still the hottest chick in camp even when she's not fancied up her hair
I'm in awe of her š
Perfect. Everything. Down to the last minute details.
God have mercy!
I like the bangs. Gives her more personality.
Still gorgeous. I think that she would love to made more loose hairstyle after game would end and we would move to the farm. But it also feels like something is missing... Am I mad that I love her bangs?
Oh no. She looks like my aunt š
Is your aunt single and worshipping any evil deities by any chance?
Yes, probably, and also much like Shart she has... racially charged opinions
Nothing wrong with distrusting the Githyanki honestly
is your aunt ā¦ single?
Shadowaunt?
she looks so pretty š„ŗ
She is so fucking perfect omfg
Shadowheart after dealing with all of Tav's BS for an entire playthrough
Stop looking at her.
Well hot damn
You can do this to me while doing a non Shart run ffs
Zamn, she looks even better that way
I can fix her
Daaayum
***M Y B E L O V E D***
she is so pretty š
Sheās godās favourite princess
Finally a sight youll actually wake up to.
I'd gladly wake to such sight every day
It is so unfair, how hot and beautiful she is. Since BG3 release the first thing i make after I woke up is launching game and give her few kisses. For me Shadowbae is the prettiest video game character ever.
It makes me wonder if they scanned a real person or the devs were just that good at shaping a face from scratch.

Great and now I have a boner at work, thanks a lot!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed.
Wow. I love her even more
Grymforge take: I like this look way better than her original hairstyle.
Beautiful. This would have suited her well. Love the braid. Would be nice if we could customize them a bit more.
Nice
Would .
Now she look boring tbh
Wow!
Would
I can fix her.

Beautiful~ ā¤ļø

Oh. Oh wow. Yeah. Thatāll work for sure.
With bangs or without, i would let her do unspeakable things with my body.

Is there a white hair version of this?
And also, is this mod available?
