Shadowheart/Disapproval
Overview | Approval | Disapproval | Banter | Romance |
Shadowheart disapproves of those who spoils for a fight headlong, as well as any indiscreet moves.
Shadowheart dislikes those who speak poorly of her worship. She disapproves pressing her for answers or details, unless she wishes to reveal some of them herself. She does not like needless cruelty or violence and can respond unfavorably to taking straightforward decisions or being too open with untrustworthy or unknown individuals. Finally, she despises those who doubt in decisions or opinions taken previously.
The story and dialogue choices listed on this page lower Shadowheart's approval.
The entries on this page are brought in accordance to the in-game dialogue files as of Patch 7. There are multiple reasons for some approval entries to not work on any particular game installation, from modding to bugs to simply having max approval already. |
For more information about the approval system, see Approval.
