ACT TWO!! With Jaheira Jaheira - Shadowheart Actor & Director play Baldur's Gate 3

[@Liamhodsii]

Love that Aliona and Tracy are having a lovely chat while Jen is completely focused on the game, like she's playing with a podcast on in the background Tracy was a brillaint guest! Always fun watching someone jump on the stream and try and survive the chaos (and occasional rizz)

59:46 On topic of video games and mental health, I think it's like any other medium such as books, movies or music - a form of escapism that allows you to find a moment of solace in sea of distress. Of course the context differs from person to person but it absolutely can be a life-saver just like other forms of art, and the fact that games are interactive really helps to unwind and connect with your better self. As a neurodivergent person who also suffers from multiple mental conditions (severe depression, social anxiety, impostor syndrome to name just a few), I can honestly say there are at least two games that had huge impact on my life. One of them literally brought me back from the edge of doing something irreversible, the other one - Baldur's Gate 3 - drove me to finally pursue happiness in life and accept myself for who I am, which I struggled with for most of my life. I think in no small part it was due to writing and characters who became an inspiration, which in turn were so easy to connect to due to brilliant acting. That's why I'm thankful for your and other actors performances, aswell as everyone who contributed to creating this masterpiece of a game. Again, it might differ from one person to another but just like a song or a book can stir something in you that has a positive outcome on your life, games can be a powerful tool to relieve stress and find motivation in life. If it works, then it isn't stupid. Just my 2 cents, hope you'll enjoy the rest of your day ❤

[@bloodyfitnerd1947]

Well said.

[@cosmic_drone]

Games are a powerful art medium because unlike books or movies, you have agency. Just to share my experience, after I got my degree I felt like my life was going nowhere, I was unmotivated, insecure, and to make things worse my life suddenly lacked structure. But then I played DS3. I worried that a game that challenging would only stress and frustrate me, but the opposite happened: never felt more motivated, persistent and happy with myself. It was really gratifying and it changed me in a lot of ways. Other games like DOS2, PoE, ER and BG3 have kept me going since then. Thanks for sharing your experience 💜

[@valksyvalksington6155]

Extremely well said.

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

this sounds like my experience. BG3, its actors, and its community were my saving grace during a time when i was very vulnerable.

[@jsund]

34:24 It's a bit funny that Shadowheart brings up that she's less affected by the curse while carrying a mace _radiating with sunlight from the literal blood of the god of dawn_ supposedly embedded within it.

[@littlesmith216]

I'm so so glad I'm not the only one who sings "Jaheira Jaheira!" haha.

[@cosmic_drone]

13:20 Spirit guardians is Jen approved 52:14 These kind of interactions with Jen in the middle are hilarious 01:33:21 No opportunity wasted 02:22:25 "Did that just happen?" Congrats on reaching Act 2! Was fun seeing Tracy all flustered. Thanks for the lovely stream, looking forward to the next one 💜 (Btw Jen, you should give Jennevere the cloak of protection since you are not using mage armor after each long rest. That way you can bump her AC a bit)

[@Tankgirl88a2]

2:37:39 Aliona staring lovingly at hyperfocused Jen 2:41:23 Tracy smells amazing😂

[@cosmic_drone]

@@Tankgirl88a2Thank you!

[@Silkesong]

Aliona's rizz this stream was off the charts.

[@supermaraudergirl9770]

off the sharts?

[@rhonab6698]

RIP Jen that que sera/traSMR joke was so funny and no one responded to it ahfnbhfb. seeing Tracy so shy about her performance is so funny as well when she proudly called me out at mcm for finding Jaheira hot 😂"she's a woman in her prime" are words burned into my brain

[@JenandAliona]

omg that is a very funny joke and I didnt hear it!!! go baby

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

lol can you explain the joke to me

[@apfelschweindelight]

Ah what an amazing stream filled with thirst and TMI feet talk. And all that in the presence of the fantastic, BAFTA nominated, Tracy Wiles. Keep up the great work girls :chefskiss:

[@JenandAliona]

omg she's so god damn humble that I forgot to introduce her as "BAFTA nominated" !!! next time

[@SaraAdrian]

Re: His Majesty being naked. He was like this in EA and at the release. Then Larian updated him with hair and people hated it, so he’s bald because of fan request

[@loneoakgrls]

god i LOVE hearing how much this game has helped jen's mental health 😭❤she truly gets it! seeing games help people makes me so happy. it either clicks with you, or it doesn't, and i'm thrilled to hear how much she loves it and it makes everyday better for her 😭and the game she's in too!! such a special experience ❤

[@GamerGraffix]

Tracy is so lovely. So glad she was able to be on. Hearing the durge updates are my favourite housekeeping.

[@huangela888]

I absolutely love the chaos of 7:43-8:39 so many layers of jokes, the confused chicken, TRIBE 🤣 Jen, Aliona, & Tracy, love you all!!!

[@J_Themborn]

The ever expanding polycule lol Gasp! I love that description of Kesha, Gender Fluffy!

[@SillyGirlKisser74]

Aliona, the reason why you didnt hear the voice-line of the harpers calling Jaheira because you need to skip saving her harper (or let everyone die in that fight) so you're a stranger when you arrive

[@kitchen_jooklum]

Rizzmaster Aliona cannot be stopped. Also, it wasn't auto-correct that resulted in Fizoli. I watched with friends and we kept calling Fiorenza anything but her name. My favorite was Guy Fiozeri 😂 Tracy was wonderful! Hope she enjoyed her time as much as we did :)

[@TheMarcHicks]

The "joking" line is easily one of my favourite Shadowheart moments. The only one that is as good, IMO, is the "giggle.....pleasure domes" line that you get in Party Banter (IYKYK).

[@ryleighgaddie3463]

His Majesty was meant to be a fluffy cat, but an error in the coding made him appear with the hairless model. Shortly after the game released his model was fix to be the fluffy cat again, but the fans got upset and asked for him to be made hairless again.

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

his hairless form is so iconic! it looked intentional. i had no idea the skin was rendered under the fur.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Sphynxes are very underestimated cats! They are very often extremely intelligent, empathic, deliberate and consist of 99.9% curiosity and 0.1% self preservation. Very ADHD friendly 😹😻

[@tkgg]

I really enjoyed this VOD. Hard to find time to catch you live sometimes but the stream really puts a smile on my face. Keep doing what you're doing and you're 100 % worth the stream update.

[@ZaheerCheng]

OMG the JAHIERA?! She the coolest granny that everybody want! 😭😭

[@SuperLamarrio64DS]

Don't let Jahiera hear you call her a granny! :D

[@TechNinja.1701]

1:14:21 "Ahahaha, please don't hurt me Jaheira mummy... I've been a good adventurer... ahahaha 😅🤭"

[@TMidander]

Thank you for the quick upload :) Tracy is the best!

[@smellslikerain]

for next time, there’s a fight directly after you talk to isobel (she is on your side don’t worry) but you absolutely cannot let her die if she dies just reload bc it will mess up a TON

[@younggunpark]

Jaheehee, what a happy name! :D I love how Theo raided just at the end with a Wyll scene. Does anybody know how the Shadowheart cosplay streamer reacted to the raid?

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

Jen is so cute, playing in her own save. you ladies really warm my heart

[@valksyvalksington6155]

OMG love Tracy and absolutely love that there was so much advocacy for Jaheira on behalf of enthusiastic fans!

[@SirToxe]

The gore Ox is a better friend than Dammon as it turns out.

[@Groucho14E]

Talking about the delivery of Orin's lines... for days after reaching Baldur's Gate, *I* felt like a psychopath because I had her "Yes sir, no sir..." line stuck in my head _all the time_. That actor is amazing!

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

When late becomes a pattern, late is on time 😎 js

[@Tankgirl88a2]

Aliona was making me need the fan with all that rizz😂

[@mineflameblade8788]

Hey Jen. [Aka Shadowheart] I love your voicework for Shadowheart. You did an amazing job portaying her and I wanted to share something I just recently found out. Apparently there is a hidden Nightsong counter mechanic with Shadowheart. Complete with special diolog too.

[@RReginaPhalange]

It was so nice seeing Tracy here. Jaheira is my favorite character in BG3! I also, wish she was romance-able. Edit. I got to look into this mct oil and pink salt

[@drak_darippa]

the point about being "a" lesbian is VERY interesting, never thought of it. but people do say "a" bisexual too

[@Your_Friendly_Sopbil]

Lovely stream as always. Tracy being flustered is so adorable.

[@maliattha]

2:43 ohmygod that was me! (thanks mum)

[@frerkshow9874]

Its sad that you can't build a deeper connection with jaheira. After visit her house and her family I found her character cooler and cooler!

[@Blastback8]

You can romance her in BG2.

[@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc]

We did not get to romance Jaheira but she was devoted to her late husband so I assume that is why. I have a vague memory of them being imprisoned in BG2 next to you the player character but I played it along time ago so I might be wrong in the series of events.They had been captured by John Irenicus who was the half brother of the player.The player and Irenicus were half brothers to Saravok. They all had the Lord of Murder as a father but of course different mothers. Irenicus was a very powerful mage who wanted of course to take over Saravok's role and become the new Lord of Murder himself like Saravok had tried to do. Or so i recall. Like I said it was a long time ago. Irenicus is not in this game and I don't recall his fate.I never got to complete the game. I think Jaheira has her own secrets I won't go into. But having a romance with her would have been nice.smiles.

[@TheMarcHicks]

Oh no, you didn't interact with the Shadow Vestiges. Listening to them were some of the most heart-breaking moments in the game for me.....or at least the most heart-breaking in Act 2.

[@lilithgaither9603]

the next update in my 'catching up on VODs' and oh oh oh my. When Tracy first came on and did her little voice, I had to stop everything. Pause the video. Headphones down. Stop snacking. And go bury my face in my bed and kick my legs like a little gay idiot.

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

34:14 "Aliona HOW do you tell" it's the neurodivergent pattern recog duhhhhhh lol :)

[@s.p.1434]

I'm pretty sure Raphael's sexuality is "yes".

[@Butterfliesandzebras]

Oh em gee Shart! Did I just hear your voice in the Clair 33 thingy trailer? Also with Ben Starr? It was only a small snippet... but I'll be damned if it wasn't you :P

[@user-jq6ry8yq4y]

1:13:55 lol 😂😂😂😂 so lovely

[@yojayoung]

Dev was charmed by Raphael for ages...

[@user-fx4nl1ow5x]

Как бы хотелось попасть на стрим к вам и не только ❤

[@AoutOfThisWorld]

I'm bi, and I have mixed emotions on Raphael. He's surface level appealing (love the voice, the speech pattern, the cockiness to an extent, and how he looks), but hes also majorly creepy and ethically he really puts off the demi in me. I almost found myself sad with how my Act 3 played out. I genuinely found nyself wishing i thiught he coukd change and that there was Hope for him, but alas. No Hope for Raphael

[@PaladinFeora]

Tracy (as Jaheria) breaking Tracy, you love to see it!

[@ravenspire9691]

3 Hours and only 1 fight, poor Jen. Should be plenty next time though

[@scottthompson4589]

Actor and director of what?

[@holyfreakingwow]

Resistances: If there’s no arrow, don’t bother it’ll have no effect. Two up arrows means it’ll take half damage. 1 red down means it’ll get the most damage. I loved Tracy on today! I had no idea she was on Divinity too. Another reason for me to pick the game back up. I’m so glad you guys have a bit more insight on how important the game is to some of us. I’ll def say it again, this game released at a time I needed it most. I’ll forever be grateful to those who worked on the game 🥹💜
