Makes it where Selûnite Shadowheart isn't a degenerate but still wants to be with a female.
This is contradictory.

How is it? It literally isn't. In the other mod. Selûnite Shadowheart doesn't want to sleep with twins, blah blah blah. However, she still remains pansexual or bi or whatever it is. So basically a female or a male can be with Shadowheart. Soooo basically the same-sex option stays

Shadowheart and Lae'zel are defiantly canon.

This is coom-brain speaking.

Which are all degenerate.

Yeahhhh. I am going to stick with a mod that makes Shadowheart more immersive and females still get to be with her. Because to play a female character and be locked out of a romance with Shadowheart, is kinda stupid. I mean not to mention the VA, herself, is for the ladies. This mod would never go in my game. I thought it would be cool until I saw Shadowheart would be unromanceble for females. Keep it up, I guess? So yeah this is a no for me.

If you want true immersion, then Shadowheart would've been dead before the game even started—her religious cult kills people for much less, let alone for being a lesbian.

To be honest, I'm certain the only reason Shadowheart was designed as a sharite priestess was because there was a prominent drow priestess in the original BG games and Larian wanted to bank on player nostalgia.

I play as a female

You shouldn't admit this

This is one based mod I thought I didn't need to install. All the companions are strange people one way or another, so assuming they're Greenwood® Horny kinda works - Halsin is a furry, Astarion overloads every gaydar within the Sword Coast, Lae'zel is from an egg-laying species, etc. So I'd just ignore or reject the romance-tinged options and move on, right? No big deal, and one less chance for bugs.

Then I woke up to find Wyll asking my Gale protag to dance in the cringiest, most sexually charged way, and it just fucking shattered the positive impression I had of him as the reasonable, reliable bro in a party of neurotics. Literally hit alt-f4, download, install, reload. Good work

Thanks so much for this mod!

Is it still compatible with No Alphabets 6.0?

Sorry for the late answer, but yes. Both mods deal with different dialogue. Just in case, load EBR after.
Do let us know if any issue arises.

Maybe, but I would wait until Aesthetics mod is released to start a playthrough. Just a few days, brother

Has the "make Shadowheart less of a degenerate" thing been implemented already?

If not, could this mod not somehow just be integrated? The "Really Shadowheart" mod

If this was answered somewhere else already, haven't seen it.

Does this works with patch 8?

Since last major patch for the game is out could you please add total No Romance option?

Try this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/5922

It does the same thing as EBR, but probably isn't coded as well, it doesn't seem to work for everyone. But it has a no romance option so worth a try.

No longer being sexually harassed by my companions?.. Companions that don't want to hump everything with locomitive ability (and sometimes without)? Can it really be?! I love this mod!

Post by **Auld_SnawBeard** » April 25th, 2025, 05:31

It does seem the files are outdated after patch 8. Any ETA-ish on an update?

Tbh someone should probably reupload Really Shadowheart here or at least be ready to do so as a backup, wouldn't be surprised if some freak at nexus takes issue with the mod eventually

That is a good idea. I bet many here has a backup already, but I'll make one as well (you never know).

That said, it seems to be alot about how you frame your mod on Nexusmods, whether it gets taken down or not. There is a mod that goes a lot further than the Shadowheart mods on Nexus, but unfortunately it's outdated into the bronze-age and completely unusable. If I knew how to mod and had the self-disipline to keep at it, I would have aimed to take that one over. https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/ ... escription Come to think of it I should make a backup of that one as well..

I think that one's just a secretly forked version of the old Better Romance but made gay and lame

I think someone (probably me) should speedrun the shit out of the game and share the save files

I was wondering @loregamer and @Kowe if getting this mod fully compatible with patch 8 is the priority for you guys right now? I was about to start a run through BG3 and hopefully get to the end this time, but I saw somewhere that Baldur's Better Aesthetics is about to get an update in a few days (unless I misunderstood), so I'm going to wait until it releases. Right now I'm trying to gauge whether I should wait for Even Better Romances as well, or if it will take a while and I should move on for now?

In my opinion Even Better Romance is the most important mod there is for BG3. The only one more important for me than NoAlphabet and Realms Restored. Really looking forwards to experience not getting sexually harrassed by my "friends" in BG3 anymore

Baldur's Better Aesthetics will not get any updates, use Realms Restored instead of Baldur's Better Aesthetics.

Thank you, I'll do that

Does this mod also work with the "Realms Restored", and "No Alphabets" mods?
