No, it's much worse than this. The actual Minsc from the original games is dead. In Baldur's Gate, a statue was erected to celebrate Minsc as one of the heroes of the city. A surge of wild magic in the area of the statue caused the statue to come to life. *That's* who the current Minsc is! Seriously stupid.
Again, execution is what matters. If “the statue of Minsc” is a compelling character, then why not? If it’s just Minsc, brought into 5e for no good reason then it is not.
