Interesting. They seem to have added a 3rd option between censored and fully uncensored. I.E. You get the full scene but the nudity is censored (the video you linked). Maybe I remember wrongly but I do not think that was an option on release
Thanks for including this extended scene! Really cool that they gave the other version some unique content too. And thanks also for taking Karlach out again! 😃 I hope we get to hear her comment on things 😄
Something I love about this Shadowheart romance scene is the full moon prominently in the sky - like Selune herself is blessing the union... or watching you go at it....
25:12 The only logical assumption for Isobel not taking a rest to heal yet is Aylin keeping her too busy to sleep. 22:22 You're right, there's just one Voss and 157 Vlaakiths. Voss has been around for a long time, but has spent most of his time in the Astral Plane (like most adult Githyanki do). Creatures don't age there which is how both he and Orpheus are still alive. 24:35 Vlaakith resides in the Gith'yanki city of Tu'narath in the Astral Plane. Like many Githyanki cities Tu'narath was built on the body of a dead god referred to as "the One in the Void" (which Lae'zel mentions at 26:47, and she has also mentioned Tu'narath a few times before).
Thank you Shadowheart for deciding to move things forward 🙏 For some reason Wellens is really quick to flirt with everyone but so slow when it's time to fullly commit :D Both versions of the scene were really sweet and glad the kiss was still an option, with also 2 versions, that was nice!
Who could believe Shadowheart would be so soft; she is like a hissing feral cat at the start of the game too scared and confused to recognize friend from foe and now she greets Wellens with a soft smile and kind words. I am curious though, what do you think of Shadowheart Welonz? Are you happy you decided to romance her?
@42:17 Light can work. Lore wise though Selune's domains are Life, Twilight (this is different from Light), and Knowledge. Shar's Domain's are Trickery and Death (which will be added in the next patch)
By the way Welonz, there seems to be a bug when giving companions the astral tadpole, you wanted Minthara to use it but you actually need to select her and then select the tadpole in your inventory.
I think that's what they were going for, it's more than just their common situation that connected these characters, their backstories, problems and situations are so similar to each other, they will find comfort knowing they are not alone through the journey.
At the very beginning of the game, Shadowheart said she can’t swim. That’s another meaning of her saying she wanted to see she could face a challenge without Shar. By the way, I’d suggest exploring Rivington a bit more thoroughly before moving on, now that you returned to the area. There are two scenes you probably wouldn’t want to miss there.
A little reminder that the Gur are coded as Romani travellers, which is reflected by the bad rep they also suffer in-universe. Astarion being killed by one, (likely paid to by Cazador anonymously) just enflammed his prejudice.
"How old is Voss?" - While in the Astral Sea (this multiverse's version of space) you don't age. For a Githyanki that mostly rides through the Astral on a red dragon to appear old, as Voss does, they must be *_exceedingly_* old.
"Aylin was right next to us, too!" - Earlier in this very playthrough, wasn't it Dame Aylin who said of her partner "We must now take succor in one another's body and words" I don't think she has any issues against a bit of PDA.
the vines in your camp are from the dryad and the wood woad despawning in camp when you end the day. It's the same when they die, it's their "blood". If you want to get rid of it, have Gale cast a firebolt on it.
I find it so funny and true to Shadowheart’s character that she is one of the companions that make you wait until Act 3 to have her romance scene; with Lae’zel and Astarion you are “building sandcastle” from Act 1. Who would have thought the freaky (affectionate) Sharran is among the companions that make Tav wait the longest :D
Even more interesting that their attitude towards the romance itself is the reverse. Lae'Zel is monogamous while SH approves of you doing the other romances/romantic encounters with minor characters. Her reactions are also kinda funny and you realize she has not lost her edge under Selune 😆
Jaheira and (maybe) Halsin are a bit different than the other companions in the sense that they are True Neutral instead of Good/Evil. True Neutral characters are more concerned with their own well-being and that of their allies, and they don't care much about others they don't know, hence why Jaheira doesn't mind an alliance with the Emperor or cares much for Orpheus, as long as there's no harm involved.
Lae'zel and Shadowheart romance reminds me of River and Judy from Cyberpunk. While the first was a night of passion with other people sleeping nearby, the second was a moment of love, healing, and swimming.
I thought Welonz would get unbearably fluttered during the romance scene but nope, it was a cute kiss with the gf xD Also, thank you so very much for taking the clown make up off xD
It is interesting that Welonz took the route of letting Shadowheart do what she wanted when she was dealing with Aylin in the Shadowfell and when talking to Ferg, but she tried to convince Lae'zel with telling her not to believe Vlaakith's lies. Just a notable difference I noticed, maybe indicative of having more trust in Shadowheart than Lae'zel?
Glad Astarion, Wyll and Lae’zel got to shine a bit this episode before the incredible romance scene; perfect timing Also, Shadowheart can’t swim so she was asking you to teach her, she wanted to learn something new do something scary without help from Shar for the 1st time and she chose Wellens to guide her ♥
Which explicit content filters do you have on, Welonz? I know you have some of the nudity filters on, but did you disable any of the other options or no?
i checked out the full version of Shadowheart's scene separately here! ruclips.net/video/98d9l-Z_tqE/видео.html

Selune, the Goddess of Moonlight and Voyeurism 😂

Just when you're ready to take off the clown makeup, a queen knocks on the door. We've all been there, right?
Thank you Shadowheart for deciding to move things forward 🙏
For some reason Wellens is really quick to flirt with everyone but so slow when it's time to fullly commit :D
Both versions of the scene were really sweet and glad the kiss was still an option, with also 2 versions, that was nice!
46:47 Unfortunately Shadowheart's portrait bug is as old and ancient as Selune's and Shar's feud.
If you look at Shadowheart's tags in her character sheet her deity actually changed to Selune :)
So glad for the clown make-up's victory lap
Who could believe Shadowheart would be so soft; she is like a hissing feral cat at the start of the game too scared and confused to recognize friend from foe and now she greets Wellens with a soft smile and kind words.

39:39 As if they weren't doing the exact same thing
I love vlaakith VA, she sounds so loud, like she will shatter the sky or something
I for one kind of love the clown makeup
I think that's what they were going for, it's more than just their common situation that connected these characters, their backstories, problems and situations are so similar to each other, they will find comfort knowing they are not alone through the journey.

Love the Shadowheart light domain

The title LMAO
47:47 Hey Karlach! You like clowns, right? Hold this for me. 😆
25:09 Friendly reminder for everyone! Go to sleep recover that HP!
34:24 Sponges can clean you irl too. Everyone should try it.
An otter in my water!
"Aylin was right next to us, too!" - Earlier in this very playthrough, wasn't it Dame Aylin who said of her partner "We must now take succor in one another's body and words"
I don't think she has any issues against a bit of PDA.

"Time for another snack" oh my god haha; did you already write the previous episode's title knowing you were going to follow it up with this one? 🤣
no, it was one of those lightbulb at 3am moments 🤣
Welonz: Hmmm I should speak to this ox for completionisms sake.
The Ox: Hmmm I like grass. Do you like grass?
Laezel is such a zealot lol. But I love her
Vlaakith is so adorable throwing a tantrum after getting royally rejected.
She's afraid
I find it so funny and true to Shadowheart’s character that she is one of the companions that make you wait until Act 3 to have her romance scene; with Lae’zel and Astarion you are “building sandcastle” from Act 1.

Clown makeup is perfectly appropriate when you choose Shadowheart over Laezel. I say the scene was perfect.
Jaheira and (maybe) Halsin are a bit different than the other companions in the sense that they are True Neutral instead of Good/Evil. True Neutral characters are more concerned with their own well-being and that of their allies, and they don't care much about others they don't know, hence why Jaheira doesn't mind an alliance with the Emperor or cares much for Orpheus, as long as there's no harm involved.
I only ask this because you're a big LiS fan; but were you thinking of: "there's an otter in my water" when you chose the water-splashing option? 😄
Can't believe I'm the first one who commentd on it...
NOT. MY. CABBAGES!!!!
Hope everyone's doing well today
You should respec jaheera so she's a different class than halsin
Oh damn I've never seen Gandrel at the Gur camp since I always kill him to make Astarion happy 😂 The scene plays out a little bit differently
Lae'zel and Shadowheart romance reminds me of River and Judy from Cyberpunk. While the first was a night of passion with other people sleeping nearby, the second was a moment of love, healing, and swimming.
"We have to get to know each other better first"
Well, you know which companion will ask you out on an ACTUAL date?
Best girl, clearly.
I thought Welonz would get unbearably fluttered during the romance scene but nope, it was a cute kiss with the gf xD
Also, thank you so very much for taking the clown make up off xD
It is interesting that Welonz took the route of letting Shadowheart do what she wanted when she was dealing with Aylin in the Shadowfell and when talking to Ferg, but she tried to convince Lae'zel with telling her not to believe Vlaakith's lies.

It's not a matter of trust, but support.
Masterful title
Aww, I've been romancing other characters on my playthroughs, so it's been a while since I've seen shadowheart's romance scene, that's really sweet.
Glad Astarion, Wyll and Lae’zel got to shine a bit this episode before the incredible romance scene; perfect timing
Also, Shadowheart can’t swim so she was asking you to teach her, she wanted to learn something new do something scary without help from Shar for the 1st time and she chose Wellens to guide her ♥
