Yeah, that’s what I thought. I personally didn’t think it was exploitative, talking to her about it out of nowhere would only lessen her trust in you and you had no idea how she would react if you exposed the Prism to her. You did get the opportunity to "talk her down", but only after you both did the deed and after she opened up to you - which makes sense.
About the bit on character knowledge, it makes me wonder if that’s the reason we can save Minsc with the Prism and not Minthara. Because our characters were still unaware of what the Prism can do, depending on how you play it.
Still though, I’d chalk it up to both Halsin and Minthara just being put in low priority during development. That’s why a lot of things are iffy with them if you look close enough. I’ll continue to root for a less evil way to recruit Minthara until the day Larian releases a Definitive Edition, if only so more people would be willing to experience her story and realize how great she is as a character.
