I personally think they should just allow you to recruit Minthara either way, opposed to patching out exploits to keep you from it, it's obvious the majority of fans want both Minthara and Halsin.

Going genocide evil towards the grove cuts a ton of content from your game later on. Tho it's still a pretty neat option to raid the grove. At the very least the game is lacking in evil companions going that route, it's sorta imbalanced in that aspect, not to mention disappointing.

When have you ever heard of an evil mastermind working all by their lonesome in D&D? I know the game isn't lacking evil characters, why not recruit them? What about Lorroakan, Sarevok, and Viconia? They could've been companions, tho it's probably too late now I guess.

I have to potentially send 4 characters packing along with their quests for a single naughty drow. My camp looks like a ghost town because of it and my playthru is shorter, less story and all that. Sorta depressing actually.

I know the creators won't make any drastic changes to what they already have, it'd cost a ton of time and money to do that, I'm only thinking of means of what could already be possible. Extra evil companions would be nice but I think they should focus on what they already have, such as patching bugs and Minthara wink
