Omg finallyyy. It was so wild watching her break down into tears only for Tav to just stand there like a dummy. This was all I ever wanted. Shadowheart deserves to be held tenderly 🥺
@@pixxie643 Honestly, I feel like Astarion probably wouldn't be able to deal with being touched right then either. Maybe in a coversation afterwards though. I'd love an option to hug your companion whenever just like how you can kiss them.
@@tinyfreckle I wasn't really thinking of a full on hug tbh, but I wish you could at least approach him or put your hand on his shoulder or something instead of just standing there awkwardly while he breaks down. Also I 100% agree with you on the hugging companions thing, I wish the friendships were given as much attention in the game as the romances.
Love how Tav embrace her by default if her parents are alive. And there people saying this isn't the best choice. At this point I even want the choice to hug all three of them at the same time at the end 😂
The way the game presents it, saving her parents is the right choice to get the ending where she is happiest. In extended lore however, saving her parents condems her to an eternity of pain and suffering after her death. It doesn't matter that the pain bursts from her curse happen less and less, in the end she'll suffer a form of hell forever, her soul claimed by Shar. Sacrificing her parents ensures they'll see each other again in some form, in Selûne's embrace. I'm kinda disappointed how the game glances over that, but hey, at least she is at peace if her parents die.
Her parents died in my first run and I was worried that I’d missed something during this scene, because it felt wrong to just stand there and watch her crying, especially since we were in a relationship at this point
FINALLY SHADOWBAE CAN BE HUGGED! Hope we can hug her even if we don't romance her. Now Larian just needs to let us offer a hug to Karlach and Lae'zel when they are going through their big moment.
Can you hug her without a romance? I should be getting close to this in my current run, and I'm hoping I can just be a good friend and hug her without the strings attached.
Oh weird, when I saw the patch notes I thought the hug would be when her parents turn into motes and she’s crying, I would’ve loved to comfort her there. This is kind of disappointing to me in comparison.

FINALLY! POOR DARLING CAN BE HUGGED!
FINALLY I CAN HUG HER

At least she was hugged unlike Squidward's father that never hugged Squidward.
What remains to be added is a hug animation for Karlach after killing Gortash.
and Astarion after Cazador 😭

Hug karlach after gortash and fair well for lea,zel and astorian after cazador are hugs we need
@@rileysmith117 YESS LAE'ZEL TOO!!! I was just recently replaying the end of the game and realised you don't get a proper farewell with her 😭

I did both choices in two seperate playthroughs, and she 100% seems happier if you keep her parents alive
@@itsnotraelI suppose you’re right, but then again what Minthara says after you save her parents it just… keeps nagging me.
Bruh u want her to be cursed forever and live in pain for rest of life just to live with parents?

@@Celestiallev what does she say?
It's like Tali in ME2 all over again. I may be the most renegade Shepherd you've ever seen, but I will ALWAYS hug her.

I got past that on my first play though before the patch. I want to hug her so bad.
That was criminal before
Yay, that's an option what I missed.
Shadowheart dad sounds like lucas grey from hitman
I know it’s not the same actor, but his voice reminds me of Jamieson Price (Sojiro Sakura - Persona 5).
It is! Shadowheart’s dad is voiced by John Hopkins the man who voiced Grey
finally. I've won.
Is your avatar Ciri? looks a hell of a lot like her
Can you hug her without a romance? I should be getting close to this in my current run, and I'm hoping I can just be a good friend and hug her without the strings attached.
I don't know, I don't have a single save file where we are only friends. But I would assume it's possible.
Yes it is possible, I forced myself to try a different romance and she still hugs you if your just friends ❤
We were just friends and I hugged her. Would have hugged her more than once; she's like my sister now.
Give Astarion his shirt back, please.
No. He has a nice fancy shirt, don't worry.
Hello Ciri
AH-HA FIRSTY THIRSTY BESTIE
Oh weird, when I saw the patch notes I thought the hug would be when her parents turn into motes and she’s crying, I would’ve loved to comfort her there. This is kind of disappointing to me in comparison.
thank goodness they added this. she deserves all the comfort in the world 🥹
