#thats been one of my main problems with bg3 so far

i have very little experience with dnd lore and so when shadowheart said she worshipped shar and, judging by dialogue options and stuff, clearly shar had a bad rep, i was kinda interested. bc i was like oh ok so maybe shar is seen as evil bc she is the goddess of darkness and loss, things that are scary and often unwanted. but shadowheart meanwhile was explaining the misunderstood good of shar and sharran belief. and then selûne being the goddess of light, i was like ok that makes sense people would assume that was entirely a good thing. and considering they are sisters, i thought the conflict between them might have layers beyond good vs evil.

anyway, eventually finding out that no, shar IS just bad and selûne is fully good was pretty disappointing and boring imo? it's not like i wanted it to turn out shar was good and selûne was bad or anything. but even if shar was portrayed a ruthless god who still genuinely had the positives shadowheart spoke of, while selûne was overall decent but there were negatives to her and selûnite beliefs would've been more interesting.

idk it's just kind of boring. turns out the most obvious interpretation is correct and there is no nuance. as always, dark=bad, light=good. shadowheart's hair isnt black anymore bc she is following the Good Light god now. it's just boring to me.
