For us veterans of the original Bioware games, I reckon we all saw a bit of Viconia in Minthara. But alas, Larian is not Bioware at its best 15-20 years ago. Just look at how the retconning of Viconia has turned out to be (no doubt at the behest of WoTC). But I do give credits to Larian because they appear to be trying their darndest. 23 years since BG2 came out, 15 since my first time playing it, and I still hated that ending if you romance Viconia, so it isn’t entirely fair to blame Larian’s writing now.
The point of this argument is, we don’t expect Larian to “fix” Minthy and suddenly turn her “good” like some idiots who never played the originals, or are even familiar with the lore of DnD Forgotten Realms in general, would love to claim. We just want a “fair” treatment without the numerous bugs, missing content, breaking of logics left and right, and most importantly, missing out on great content only because of limited choices (ironically it is also a disservice to Larian because THEY chose to lock players out of certain routes). Case in point, Lae’zel is the perfect “Tsundere” type of companions that a neutral evil with Minthara playthrough can compare to.
