Back at it again with the camera changes for all the things Larian hides offscreen, for some reason! This time, it's Shadowheart's hidden reaction during her and Astarion's conversation about you and Abdirak, if they're in the party when you agree to let him..."help" you.
This was actually made as part of my collection of annotated dialog files, explaining different parts of the BG3 dialog system, and how to edit it on the XML level, including changing camera motion! Which is what this was for.
This mod was also made on request of my dear friend Aimryax—I'm glad I could make you laugh with it 💗🌼🌷💗 (Also, thank you very much for helping test it, and take the mod page images!!!)
I'll be uploading a demo video with the scene later today, so look out for that!

This mod comes in both . PAK and loose file versions, and you can also find the annotated code explaining how I made this mod in the link above, in the Dialog Timeline Annotated Sample Mods .zip file. I'm putting this on its own page so it's a bit easier to find.
This mod overrides the following file:
\\Public\Gustav\Timeline\Generated\GOB_PainPriest_Penance
And will conflict with any other mods editing that file.
The mod should be safe to uninstall, even mid-playthrough. Any changes made by the mod should revert on uninstallation!
Install the loose files by dragging the Public folder in the .zip file into your BG3 Data folder. Install the . PAK file via BG3 Mod Manager. Only install ONE version at a time!
As always, let me know if you have any issues, and enjoy! 🎶🌟

Psst—hey, if you'd like to support me, I have a ko-fi here: https://ko-fi.com/herotune
And an itch.io page here: https://herotune.itch.io/
You can find a game of my own on that page, as well as a Clip Studio Paint
brush pack I made for drawing horns (including one I made for Wyll)!
It'd mean a lot if you checked them out. I'll never paywall my mods, but your support is very much appreciated—thank you!!! 🌼
