Latest revision as of 09:48, 21 December 2024

Shadowheart likes finding pragmatic and efficient solutions to problems. She appreciates discretion, privacy, and open-mindedness. Shadowheart may respond well to acts of heroism, though she also has occasional cruel tendencies and may look favourably on torture and manipulation.

Shadowheart dislikes those that disapprove of her worship or people pressing her for answers or details. She does not like needless cruelty or violence and can respond unfavorably to being too open with untrustworthy or unknown individuals.

Unlike other Companions, Shadowheart has a secondary approval system, influencing the choices in Find the Nightsong and Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic. For more information, see Nightsong Points.

The actions and choices listed on this page will raise or lower Shadowheart's Approval.

For more information about the approval system, see Approval.

Greetings[edit | edit source]

Depending on their approval rating, Shadowheart may greet the player with:

Negative (<0):

  • "What do you want?"
  • "What?"
  • "What is it?"

Neutral (0 - 19):

  • "Something the matter?"

Medium and up - Sharran (20+ approval):

  • "May the darkness protect you."
  • "Shar's blessing upon you."
  • "Lady of Sorrows guide us. Did you want something?"

Medium and up - Selunite (20+):

  • "All's well I hope? Aside from the obvious?"
  • "Almost pleasant, travelling with company. If you ignore all the... less pleasant aspects."
  • "I wasn't expecting it, but I'm glad to have some company on this journey."

When spoken to by someone other than the player character:

  • "I don't answer to you - move along."

Romance[edit | edit source]

Flirting (20+ approval):

  • "Well, my day just improved. Did you want something?"
  • "You know, I've been catching myself smiling more lately. I think that's your fault."
  • "I was hoping you'd come to chat. What do you need?"
  • "Ah- so that's what people mean when they talk about butterflies in their stomach. Did you want something?"

Flirting - Low approval:

  • "Hmm. You wanted something?"
  • "In need of attention, I take it?"
  • "Oh, you're back."
  • "Sometimes I wonder if I should just let the tadpole dictate my love life. Did you want something?"

Partnered (40+ approval):

  • "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes."
  • "Good. I was just starting to miss the sound of your voice."
  • "Did you want something? If not, I'm perfectly happy to just gaze upon you a while."
  • "Why hello, lover... that sounded more debonaire in my head, I'll admit. Do you need something?"

Partnered - Low approval:

  • "I hope this is important."
  • "You know what I really love about you? When you play the strong, silent type. Let's keep this short, shall we?"
  • "You know, just because I join you at your bedroll from time to time doesn't mean you need to talk to me quite so much. Is this urgent?"
  • "Personality isn't everything, I suppose. Plenty of relationships can limp along on physical attraction alone. What do you want?"
  • "Yes?"

Broken Up (40+ approval):

  • "You know, I didn't realise it was possible to be so cordial with a former flame. I suppose I'm lucky. Did you want something?"
  • "You're a sight for sore eyes, even now. Did you want something?"
  • "Careful - keep seeking me out like this and people may think we're rekindling things. Did you want something?"
  • "What can I do for you?"

Broken Up - Low approval:

  • "You know, I truly do marvel sometimes that I ever had feelings for you. What do you want?"
  • "Mmm-hmm? This had better be important."
  • "Honestly, I should be grateful that you ended things between us - I dodged a poison tipped arrow there. What do you want?"
  • "Spit it out then."
  • "I'm listening - though don't ask me why."
