Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player shares hilarious coincidence after a major Shadowheart choice Larian StudiosFollowing a major plot decision that determines Shadowheart\u2019s fate, a Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player had a wild experience that was both unintended and perfectly timed. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 gives players many ways to complete their companion\u2019s storylines, some of which are pretty dark. Those who only want the best for characters like Shadowheart have their own preferred outcomes, with the other options saved for evil runs. However, one Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player learned in spectacularly hilarious fashion that some choices are best left untouched when, after making a pretty dark Shadowheart choice, they experienced some unintended consequences. Note, spoilers for Shadowheart\u2019s backstory and questline to follow. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player\u2019s PS5 crashes after making terrible Shadowheart choice When players meet Shadowheart, they soon learn the Cleric worships Shar, the Goddess of Darkness and Loss. In Dungeons & Dragons lore, Shar is an evil-aligned goddess and twin sister to the chaotic good Sel\u00fbne. As a loyal follower of Shar, Shadowheart can come off as pretty cold. However, she\u2019s also an amnesiac who\u2019s missing most memories of her past. Things come to a head near the end of Act 2 when Shadowheart can either free or kill the Nightsong. The latter choice grants her the Legendary weapon Shar\u2019s Spear of Evening as she fully embraces the goddess and becomes a Dark Justicar. However, while that choice may be what Shadowheart seems to want, it\u2019s a pretty dark fate once you know the truth: Shadowheart was born a Sel\u00fbnite but was kidnapped by Sharrans as a child. Her memories were twisted to keep her loyal to Shar, with most being removed just before the events of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. With all this in mind, letting Shadowheart embrace Shar is an even darker choice than it seems. But Reddit user pie4july encountered some unexpected repercussions. After having Shadowheart claim the spear in their third playthrough, the game unexpectedly crashed. Making the coincidence even better is that the player knew the full extent of what they were doing and even noted feeling \u201csick\u201d and \u201c[hating] every single second of it knowing what has been stolen from her.\u201d As they joke, \u201ceven my PS5 couldn\u2019t handle a True Sharran Shadowheart.\u201d It\u2019s not clear whether they went on to make the same decision upon rebooting the game, but this should serve as a lesson to all that having Shadowheart embrace Shar is the wrong choice.
