You're in for a treat. The reactivity falls off after Act I/the creche, but that first 20+ hours is gold! Make sure you talk to the kids in the goblin camp kicking the corpse.
If you choose the "first you cast aspersions on me, now you want to join up" option, she responds with "That makes me more interesting, so you'll want me around," & that line was the first time I understood what people see in her.
Hey so I got a question. If I play as a nice gith, will that make sense within the story? I want my gith to value freedom and to be kind to others and have a curiousity and fascination of the world outside of where-ever she was before the nautiloid. But the gith dialogue says you’re a follower of vlakith but I don’t want to be an evil gith that blindly follows a tyrant god, I want to be one of the other ones.
You can, just remember, practically each githyanki is trained to Hell and back, they are incredibly disciplined, and they *will* look down on people who aren't, the best way to achieve a morally good character in this scenario is to figure out what the character would consider ''kindness'' Once you've got that figured out it should be accurate enough, but either way, by all means you should play however you want in the way that gives you the best experience.
I didn’t know much about the lore but in my first playthrough I was a nice gith. I had the urchin background, so I headcanoned it that I was lost after hatching and had to steal to survive. I feel like it was still pretty immersive.
Tbf she's not wrong to judge a Gith. Almost every Gith you meet in this game is an asshole-- unless you are one yourself. (That includes Lae'zel but you can give her some char development)
The gith is probabbly the most racist race there is in DnD and the game does a good job reflecting this: You are either a valuable asset/slave or target practice for them. If you free Shadowheart as a non gith character you can ask what her problem is with them and her reply is on point: It's more like they have a problem with everyone else. If you roll a drow or duergar people will judge you too, like the 2 Tieflings at Lae'zels cage almost attack you on sight.
@@xecillmaze4740 Yes, githyanki are generally evil, that doesn't really mean it's ok to be racist towards gith. Firstly, because even some githyanki (i.e. Varsh Kokuu, Youth Varrl or Lae'zel) are actually fairly nice. And secondly because githzerai are also a thing, who look pretty similar to githyanki (unless you know enough about their individual cultures you most likely can't tell the difference as the average faerunian), but way more chill. As long as you don't harm them, they won't harm you. The issue is, even if they mostly are (in faerunian culture considered to be) evil, that is no excuse to be racist, as there are enough exceptions. Even if we ignore the exceptions we have to consider that different cultures are the main factor for the githyanki cruelness, otherwise it boils down to the old "My culture says it's superior to their culture, so my racism is justified" type of racism. Githyanki aren't cruel because they like being cruel, they are cruel because they are raised in a culture that taught them that being cruel is normal.

Never played as Gith before, let's find out...

When Shadowheart meets 2 Giths she gets 2 Furious

Two giths, one shart
2 Giths 1 Shart

Think of it this way, you’re only a follower of vlaakith if you chose those dialogue options.
Play a gith monk, closer to orpheus and his more people focused teachings where there is things like compassion.

Not all gith are assholes. You even meet a few in the crèche.

you're cute for a gith
The character isn't even mad that she's racist, just disappointed.

Giths are ugly. But boy, yours look cute!
