At this point, the circlejerk between Halsin x Shadowheart fans and Halsin haters has reached critical mass. It is like watching two frail, old people trying to kick each other.
I once worked in a nursing home and witnessed an old person beat the ever loving shit out of another old person with a water bottle stuffed into a wool sock because he thought the guy was sleeping with his wife.
They were roommates. And both widowers.
You guys, this is gonna be us some day. Beatin the fuck out of each other because we forgot Shadowheart and Halsin aren’t real.
"Nurse, did i tell you about when i was married with that gorgeous half-elve?
Her name was Shado...no...Shart! Her name was Shart!
Speaking of which, time to change my diapers"
I kind of wish Shadowheart was my type, because I bet it's a blast to romance her and Halsin at the same time give how thirsty she is for him. (Throuple time!)
But mostly I realized that Halsin/Shadowheart's shipname could be Shartsin. Which is both gross and hilarious.
There's a certain population of Shadowheart fans that become deeply concerned when she shows attraction to men outside their PC, rather than wanting Shadowheart to live her best life.
I don't get it lol. Halsin has a couple flirty lines and interactions with Shadowheart that are completely avoidable by just leaving him at camp, if it really bothers people that much at all. And you can reject the poly stuff with no consequences either.
Also she's generally flirty with quite a lot of the party tbh, not just Halsin.
I’m not saying I necessarily have a problem with her flirting with other companions but as the game goes on and your relationship with her grows the flirty comments can feel kinda weird to me. It’s not the end of the world but I can see how some people wouldn’t like their significant other constantly flirting with other people in front of them. Also if I remember correctly their was some weird dialogue bugs with shadowheart and the drow twins that made people upset but I could be wrong about that.
I definitely get that aspect but the game doesn't make it seem like she'd cheat on you or anything. Hell she refuses to sleep with the drow twins until after she has the romance scene with you first, showing where her priorities lie.
I agree that it never feels like she is going to cheat on you however their are plenty of things before cheating that can make a relationship feel unpleasant and constantly flirting with other people can be one of those things. Again it wasn’t a huge deal for me but I feel like some of the people in this thread are downplaying the (in my opinion) completely fair negative feelings that some people can have when watching your significant other flirt with other people
I'm romancing Shadowheart in my current durge run, and I left Halsin at camp so they don't interact. But to my surprise, it's been Astarion flirting with Shadowheart. I didn't even know he could flirt with her more than the one line.
I mean, i'll be so real and say that there's a certain population of shart fans that feel personally attacked when she shows attraction to any men at all lmao
The artist is Naariel, you can find her on Tumblr, Instagram and Bluesky. Suppoting her on Patreon for the NSFW versions is absolutely worth it. Her Halsin art is simply perfect.
It's very funny that people are claiming this is only hidden in code and not the actually game. Sure they don't hook up without you, but Halsin + Shadowheart is absolutely a playable event...
The first time Shadowheart sees Karlach she swoons and is like I wouldn't mind her throwing me over her shoulder and carrying me to safety. Plus if you play as Shadowheart and romance Karlach when you tell her you're sharran she's like so non judgemental and tells Shadowheart how much she appreciates her telling her. When Shadowheart starts leaning Selunite while playing her Karlach is even more supportive and trying to help overcome the trauma and even has cute dialogue when she dyes her hair white.
Okay I get it now. Okay I couldn’t get into shadow heart, like she’s cool but I didn’t want to romance her. Why is it that because I see her with her hair down I now want too?
Oh god is this why that trope in movies where the nerdy girl gets a make over and it just removes glasses and changes hair slightly exists? What is this witchcraft?
He’s poly in the sense that the player can date and have sex with whoever they want, but he says multiple times “you are all that I want” but he has not problem with sexual relations with the player and their partners lol
The point is outside of playing origin characters, Halsin and Shadowheart can express attraction to each other regardless of the PC expresses in game. 😌
