One thing that playing as a Selunite puts emphasis that I really like is that, after saving Aylin up until her personal quest in act 3, Shadowheart isn't actually ready to commit to serving Selune?

There's some hints of it in any playthrough, but if you play as a Selunite there's a few dialogue options where you can talk about her becoming closer to the Moonmaiden and she'll just be kinda like "after all I just went through with my goddess I'm a little hesitant to jump right to another one"

It's good because she *should* get that mourning period before deciding to serve another higher power(or if she even wants to serve one at all but Shadowheart's faith is important to her at the end of the day), but also because it makes clear that Selune is granting her her divine powers even without receiving worship in return

#she really is god's favorite princess❤️#Selune really wanted the kid Shar stole back lol #'sorry my sister abducted you out of spite towards me thank you for saving my kid have some free moon magic forever now'#bg3 #shadowheart #this is also why I kinda like the romance less as a Selunite tho #the conflict early on is juicy #but by the end Tav having a vested interest in Shadowheart switching goddesses isn't for me #I much prefer the 'I don't care about the gods I care about you' energy they had in my other playthroughs #but it's still been reall cool to explore those unique elements #(kinda wish they had alternative Tav origins besides Durge cause there's potential for more here #but that's getting off-topic)
