Also, I don't really you should be able to "convert" a Menzobberanzan Drow priestess from a life-time of being socialized to their wicked and vicious chaotic evil society by reading her mind and "exploring her fears". You're basically poking for weaknesses, that won't go over well. To compare with Baldur's Gate 2, it took multiple dialogues with less than optimal outcomes before Viconia started even remotely trusting you, I'm not sure murdering a bunch of refugees and druids is such a great bonding experience that someone who's probably lived a few hundred years in Drow society will open their heart to you laugh


Maybe I didn't get my point across well enough in my original comment. I'm not saying you should win her over immediately, but you're only given two options and both of them lead to the same conclusion: her trying to kill you in your sleep. If you pick the [Wisdom] check, there's no point of return from it. She hates you for doing that and that's it and I think this sends the wrong message. Why should I be punished for learning something new about this character? Shouldn't we, as the players, at least have the chance to turn it around? That's why I think a [Persuasion] check would be a good thing to add so we don't hit a dead-end. She has potential for a lot of character growth. I'm not saying anything about redemption or not being evil. The only way to get this far with her is by raiding and murdering everyone in the Grove. She's definitely meant for an evil playthrough and, while I don't know what Larian has planned for her, I feel like what was given to us in EA could be improved a little.


You've obviously done more of the Minthara content than I have, but I'm afraid that what you describe sounds pretty spot-on for what seems to be the design philosophy of the game. There isn't a lot of depth to it generally speaking, and even less for the evil side of things. I'm hoping they'll add a lot more
