You can choose the path for other companions as well, and since she is more a neutral-evil alligned character, recruiting her in a good/neutral playthrough seems logical.
She has the same goal as your party if you follow the "main" path of the game.
Leaving her as she is would result in her still being overlooked and rejected by the vast majority. Showing passion for her true character always feels like being judged by the community because of the crazy evil things you have to do right now.
You don't lose anything if we get more options, you can still recruit her on an evil playthrough. That's wonderful.
But Minthara's well written character will still be missed or rejected by most players because she is either just a goblin leader for those who don't know she is recruitable, or they simply don't like to play evil.
She is a very well written character with a potential redemption arc.
I fully agree with this, and I really liked your storyboard on perhaps that alternative way of recruiting her Act 1. I don't honestly expect this to be changed since at which point why would anyone at all go the evil route, but that's a whole other discussion. I'll just be happy to see these lines, however many of them there are, worked back into the game when it happens. What I find fascinating is that even with this massive hole thanks to the bug, what we do have so far is really compelling. There's simply no other companion that provides her perspective, and happens to be awesome when she does it.
