So they took Branwen's origin story and gave it to Minsc, huh?
I believe that petrified Minsc isn't Larians doing but was in lore before BG3 (vague hearsay - I don't know BG-related products outside main games)
Long story short: Minsc and Boo were petrified right after the Bhaalspawn saga, exposed as a golden statue in Baldur's Gate for like a hundred years, unpetrified accidently by a wild mage and resumed his adventures. Meanwhile, his "statue" was replaced with a REAL statue without anyone knowing.
If thats the lore behind it, then the replaced Statue has been stolen and that will lead to a funny quest about someone trying to unpetrify a mundane Statue and all time failing.
That Guy is then asking us to help him get some rare magical ingredients to make a better unpetrify spell.
Lol, that would be interesting. And of course sometime later after Quest has been resolvedd we meet Minsc in person somewhere...Buggers i spoilered a nice idea now.
