I am not realistically expecting big changes to Minthara during Act 1 at this point.
However, I am hoping they can fix or restore what seems to be lacking with her interactions for Act 2 and 3.
It's not like there is nothing, to be fair, but currently comes across as either partially implemented or simply buggy.
Given people are reporting you can good act 1, cheat to add her in act 2, and nothing broken happens, it sort of is realistic expecting the act 1 change that she escapes or etc at the end of the big fight, and then you discover in act 2 exactly as if you choose the bad option, and recruit her then, seems the most realistic change to include her in the game for everyone and starting foundation to updates/DLC/expansion turning her into a real companion? justified by now being available to all players.
Maybe just the quarter of players picking the 'evil' option for act 1 will give that justification, but just making her recruitable for all act 1 resolutions in MT's prison would be the most 'realistic' change to expect to fix her.
Minthara is the best character and she NEEDS to be recruitable if you side with the grove! Also- I support the important thread in the suggestions: Let everyone in the Party Speak
