I agree with you.
I think Larian intended her to be only for those who want to be evil, to make you want to play the game again on a different path.
But a lot of players will go through the game multiple times anyway, and this is just taking away our choice to play how we want.
It's such a shame for an amazing game with so much choice, that you don't have any choice to go your own path when recruitimg Minthara. Simply skipping the Grove and her romance scene feels like I'm playing the game wrong. Like it's not intended.
You can push the other companions to be far more evil than Minthara is once you free her, but sadly you are forced to go the evil path for Minthara.
I have seen many clips/gameplay parts from other people in the last weeks, and I never see that someone has Minthara in their party (most likely because of the choice you have to make).
She seems like a sidekick opportunity for the ones who want to take a break from the main game, to just test her for a second playthrough and then playing the good/neutral path with all the other characters again.
Her great VA and character is really hidden away behind a secret waterfall most will not see.
