I think this is just an agree to disagree moment. My Tav's story revolves around Minthara's current route and I felt like I had more fun developing a character that fits within specific cultural constraints (in this case drow culture) rather than just a free spirited broadly good aligned person. I can't really see most of the complaints about the current path to Minthara as anything other than people just upset that it doesn't align with their own personal tastes/values. Me personally? I don't like seeing the Tiefling die. You'd probably have to be a real weirdo or monster to genuinely enjoy killing such a passive group of people who are already struggling. But I am not my Tav, she's just an OC I made to explore character development and culture within the general dnd lore that I find interesting. If Minthara didn't exist I'd still base my Tav around drow cultural norms.
I also have no clue where you're getting the idea that it's supposedly ooc for her to have killed the people in the grove when she literally says in Act 2
that it was the Absolute's influence on her.
It's part of her development.
Anyway I don't think I'm going to get much more out of this discussion because the constant talk of knocking her out as somehow being a more acceptable path than.. what Larian has currently written is super uncomfortable and weird imo.
