📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes an issue that forces Shadowheart to always sneak up on Lae'zel, even when she wasn't going to do that.
Looking through game files, I noticed that the famous Lae'zel vs Shadowheart fight has 2 branches, one branch plays if ORI_Shadowheart_Event_LaezelFirst flag is set, another play if it isn't set. I looked further, and found this flag is set to True if another flag TUT_TransformChamber_State_FreedShadowheart is set to true. However, a bug in pod opening animation prevents this, so the ORI_Shadowheart_Event_LaezelFirst is always False.
This mod fixes this issue. With this mod installed, Lae'zel will sneak up on Shadowheart if Tav freed Shadowheart aboard the nautilod, and Shadowheart sneaks up on Lae'zel if Tav ignored Shadowheart (as Lae'zel suggested) and proceed to the helm without her.
P. S. If you're a Shadowheart fan like myself, you should like this another mod I made: Really Shadowheart
Fixes a bug in Baldur's Gate 3 where Lae'zel fails to sneak up on Shadowheart after Tav frees Shadowheart on the nautiloid. With this mod, the intended scene plays out. For players who want the narrative moment to work as designed.
