100%, this needs to happen. There's not much to say which hasn't been said athousand times.
Her story for how you recruit her,
her being imprisoned by the absolute for failing in act 1 and then your freeing her also frees her from absolutes mind control
makes just as much if not more sense if you opposed the absolute in act 1 than if you went undercover in it through attacking the grove. The game already has a line about how what you did to the grove doesn't make sense and you need to justify it to her.
That you have to lose half your party to recruit her is ridiculous when no other companion or situation requires that. And given her entire character post-recruitment is not compatible with the act 1 choice you have to make to recruit her! and she plays extremely well with post-act 1 good choices and already has content for it. That she has banter and dialogue for Karlach, a character you can only recruit at the same time as her through a game-y exploit, everything about her works better and has more potential if she is recruitable after BOTH act 1 choices.
Even before you get, she was bugged and broken and so many people have already played the lock yourself out of half the games content path just for her and not experienced most of her content because the game was broken, factor!
I don't get this, Minthara is evil so her motivations are evil and she doesn't really need you so it makes sense that you would have to be evil and position yourself to recruit her. Just as Halsin is good and it makes sense for him to abandon you if you position yourself as evil, they are with sequences of your choices and let's not forget that this is a game of choices. For me, the game would lose all its grace and meaning without these details, and even more so when one of the things that the community asks for the most all the time is to have many more choices in all aspects of the game.
The she's evil so of course, she's anti-absolute, that's the main thing about her character so you can only recruit her by being pro-absolute doesn't check out, especially as TO recruit her, you have to break the going undercover premise that siding with absolute in act 1 requires as breaking her out ruins that. So it doesn't make sense, Evil is not just evil=yes no more motives or positions. It wouldn't undo choices, this is an arbitrary consequence not one that follows from the choice. You don't 'side wiht evil and get evil companion.
Would the evil choice do nothing if she was recruiitable in both paths? No, it'd still remove the teefs, it'd still effect your whole game and have effects on all your characters. It'd just not lock half the players out of her, and mean to experience her content you had to act against her narrative, cognitively dissonance not for in-game but solely for meta to recruit Minthara reasons, and lost out on ALL the extensive teef content and half your party!
