I created Shadowheart's perfect nemesis in Baldur's Gate 3 – and then made her fall madly in love with me

Baldur's gate 3 Shadowheart romance.

"Don't make a fuss, Selûnite. We may be at odds, but I have more important concerns than you right now." Shadowheart dismissed my drow cleric instinctively in my latest Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough, but it's only strengthening my resolve to win her heart in the end.

With my total Steam hours now well past the 300 mark, I'm not ashamed to say that I've romanced almost every BG3 companion. Usually I task myself with creating the perfect partner for each of them – I paired Gale with a pouty druid to keep him on the straight and narrow, and created a morally-grey storm sorcerer for Lae'zel and Minthara to fight over – but I'm trying something different this time around. Shadowheart's love for the Lady of Loss makes her the perfect yin to my Selûne cleric's yang.
