That said, it's weird to me that he's still alive in any way, shape or form. Like Volo, it's bizarre and feels forced. Jaheira's enough of a stretch, but Minsc is human. It's been like 120ish years since 1 and 2. Come on now. Let the man rest in piece - him and Boo both.
I agree. It sounds very "comic-booksy" to me - no character that can make money for the company will die (at least not permanently). Of course, it all depends on how it will be pulled off narratively. One can forgive contrivances if the end product is better for it.
It is explained in comics ... mindreaker was its name i believe?
