Minsc and Boo are the first ones to die should I encounter them. They annoy me so much >< So it's another Wizard's fault after all *sigh* I hope Larian at least will make them killable. Someone should fix that error.

When does Viconia die?
I seem to remember hearing she adventured with Drizzt for a while.
Love and sausages xx

Eh I am probably the only one who doesn't want to see them. I love them to bits, but I'd rather not have too much exposition on what happened to my Bhaalspawn and the old companions are dangerously close to that. You surely not the only one. Altering story and lore just to bring back someone favorite character is very cheap move, which surely goes against immersion. Minsc were a simple human mortal, and by all accounts, he simply should be long dead. You are not the only one. Honestly, though, it wouldn't be the game that was altering lore; WotC has already revived them. As per Forgotten Realms lore, BG1 was set in 1368, and Minsc and Boo were petrified sometime between the end of BG2 and the year 1409. They were eventually revived by a wild magic surge (of course that's what would revive a petrified man-and-hamster that everyone thought was a statue) sometime in the 1480s. And it's simple enough to include Minsc yet not allude to how BG2 ended; chances are Minsc won't remember much after spending a century as a statue. In fact, as per lore, the fate of the Bhaalspawn is in fact known as of the 2013 adventure Murder in Baldur's Gate (one of the first 5e adventures):
Abdel Adrian, aka Gorion's Ward, manages to resist the murderous impulses that come with being Bhaalspawn, and eventually becomes a great hero and a ruler of Baldur's Gate. Decades later, at the start of the Second Sundering in 1482, Adrian is considered to be the last remaining Bhaalspawn, and Bhaal's resurrection is believed to have failed. However, another Bhaalspawn named Viekang shows up, the two fight, and one of them is killed (unknown who), while the other transforms into a monstrosity known as the Slayer. Eventually, the Slayer is also killed, thereby marking the death of all Bhaalspawn, and allowing Bhaal to resurrect and become the Lord of Murder once again.
