This is a nice find! I somehow managed to get the same scene by rescuing her in Moonrise Towers, going back to Monastery, and then re-entering the Shadowlands. They probably planned a possible recruitment in Act 1, but never properly worked on it enough for it to be implemented. Same with Minsc
Anyway, I’m bumping the thread to ask: am I correct in thinking that Minthara is the only companion without a proper romance greeting or a kiss option?
I finally decided to romance her and there doesn’t seem to be any change to her voicelines. Is this the bug everyone was talking about? Or was the greeting/kiss never a feature at all? Kinda weird that I can kiss Halsin who is supposedly her “counterpart” and not her. Picking the option to “talk about something private” also leads to nothing and I’m not sure if this is a bug only on my end (due to 40+ mods) or it’s universal. Sorry if it’s been asked before, it’s a bit jarring to me.
Yeah they've been doing a lot of work just to get her romance flag functioning properly, interactions beyond that are either still in need of fixing or don't exist to begin with. There are a LOT of dialogues and reactivity with her that do exist in the files but much of it was intentionally cut and much of it just doesn't fire properly. Like the conversation to confirm the romance in Act 2 or 3 where she says you're hers that night is just an implication, the only scene that exists is the one you can pursue at the Goblin Party. Hotfix 9 also added a brand new bug where any time you gain Approval after reaching Very High approval, she bugs out and thinks you've cheated on her. It would be funny if her dialogue bugs hadn't already been omnipresent since launch.
The best that can be done currently is a debug mod to re-flag her romance after the bug happens but editing your save file that way obviously poses a little more risk than some mods.
