Okay, as per a suggestion above I've merged four threads with feedback about Minthara into one and given the discussion a new generic name. Hopefully this will help folk find and add to the debate.
Remember to put spoilers in tags, though!
Thank you
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
