I’ve got questions. Does this game contain cuckoldry? I’ve heard something about that in discussions long time ago. But I’ll be even more meticulous—for me, ‘cuckoldry’ also includes when female party members sleep with or romance others instead of the player character.
Clarifying my cuckoldry definition:
✓ Classic ‘wife sharing’ (obviously)
✓ Companions romancing NPCs over PC
✓ Flirtations of companions with NPC's, other companions without player consent
I need to know exactly what I’m walking into.
Spoilers but, start here and read.
******* brutal. Imagine being an actual victim of cheating IRL, or just wanting a sweet romance with Shadowheart, only to get force-fed the writers' cuckold fantasy.
How has no one modded out this cringe-fest of forced writing?
Maybe Even Better Romance modded that out? @Kowe ? NA doesn't touch companion interactions, just background.

At some point you just have to play a game instead of trying to mod out everything you don't like in it. Just don't romance Shadowheart if she sucks?
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

You can't really blame people for romancing the only white chick available. Other choices are a ******-drow, a frog and a ***** :scratch-pipe:

She shouldn't be a bait in the first place. :sad:

Choosing her just felt like the natural choice for me. I avoided the pain of uncovering her true nature by killing both Halsin and Wyll during my first run, so I never had to deal with that kind of betrayal with her. I just thought that at the end she was boring. But I totally get why people would mod the hell out of her to turn her into a genuinely decent love interest for their game, it's just normal.

Also, small question.
So I knocked out Minthara, what’s next? Just leave her there and finish off the other goblin leaders? Are there hidden requirements to actually recruit her later? if I take a long rest before finishing the goblin leader quest, will it break her recruitment? Or is it safe to rest?

Yep. Just let her be. Keep playing and later you might have another chance to meet her if you make the right choices

It's been an oversight on the normal version but am pretty sure it got fixed in the Better Companions one. The former will have it fixed with the upcoming update.

If memory serves right, Gygax created the drow as an allegory to show how terrible a matriarchal society would be like.

Turns out that time proved him right after all.

She definitely doesn't look like a guy but I don't know what she sounds like yet. If either side will provide evidence, I will offer a neutral judgement.

She just sounds English, and that's it, really.
