Minsc is by far the worst character. I spent hours in those disgusting, toxic sewers and running around the Coin House to end up with the pea-brained, low IQ, bald John Travolta on steroids specimen with an unbelievably irritating accent. AND that deluded old hag Jaheira leaves if you kill her. I betrayed them both and turned them into pulp during the Sarevok scene and became an unholy assassin. What a good riddance. Jaheira probably gets railed really good if she can tolerate him. I see no other way. God. Awful. More I play game more I m starting to get annoyed by certain characters. I cannot stand him. By 'worst,' I mean bad for Larian standards; still very high compared to other games, he is the most poorly written and irritating. It's not a surprise since you get him last. What an idiot Minsc.

As a fan of BG1&2 I did enjoy two characters mentioned, but they do feel like they don’t quite belong, and as new characters final acts seem underdeveloped at a cost of the new comers I don’t blame for anyone reacting this way.
Personally, I wish the whole game was closer to act3, as I care for Minsc and Jaheira thanks to BG1&2, but BG3 didn’t manage to make me like or care for the new cast, but to each their own.

Minsc probably would have been better if he was an Act 1 recruit instead of Act 3 as was originally intended. Kinda funny that they had tie-in comics bringing him back through the whole petrification loophole giving him a backstory with his new adventuring group, establishing him being infected with the tadpole as a prequel to the game....even putting him prominently in the magic the gathering bg 3 promotional tie-in, and then cut him almost entirely from the game. Very odd choice.

Very odd choice. Yeah, he could have been in there sooner, but I was kind of nostlagic, when we finally recruit him - and I didn't even like Minsc that much in the original game. I was more fangirling over Jaheira though. She is one of my favourite characters from teh first two games and I really think, Larian did her justice, I just love her, especially with good Durge.

Yesss to you both! I love how Jaheira becomes good Durge's mother figure, such a beautiful relationship! But judging by OP's comments I can only assume they have never played the originals. Otherwise they would have known that Jaheira does not get "railed" by Minsc. For Minsc's one true love is Boo! Creates a thread about how they hate how people obsess over characters in a game.

Aw, man, don't be so harsh on Minsc! I think he's mostly there as an easter egg for old players. I have to say though, this thread gave me a good laugh despite the clear negativity. Minsc is just a silly loveable himbo, meanwhile Jaheira is his wise caretaker who has to tolerate his antics

A himbo and "his Wychlaran."
Minsc and Jaheira are a FANTASTIC throwback to the OG games and are the perfect foil for one another. It sucks that Minsc wasn't added until Act 3 as he'd have fit right in with the Druid grove storyline, but Jahiera and Minsc were permanently in my party together for RP reasons, even if I only just needed one of them.
