Lae’zel and Shadowheart can be mean sometimes, and it’s okay to embrace women in video games like them.
SH is a whiny little child. An evil whiny little child, but still.
Lae’zel, well, that’s a different story.
I look at it like she’s my friend who is only getting to see the world outside her cult’s compound for the first time. Her moral core is so obviously opposite what dedicated Shar worship would imply, despite her constant odes to nihilism. Give the girl a chance, and she can blossom, but I was kinda too off put by her self pitying dogma to want to date her. I find it a bit ironic she’s the fan-favorite romance character, but most people anecdotally consider her shallow and “mean.” I feel like that says a lot about GameRs.
Lae’zel for the win though. T’CHK.
This is like a reasonable narrative thats been applied to the wrong game. These are just all different audiences. Who is playing BG3 who isnt already okay with powerful women? Edit and in BG3 “powerful” means absolutely detestably evil like hurt durr no I dont like the “powerful” women if BG3.
This article is slop.
