Oh Halsin and Minthara definitely got the short stick, but at the very least they are not Origin characters (which doesn't make it suck less for their fans). Although the missing dialogue triggers in Minthara's case are really bad. The parsed dialogues indicate parts of her line will likely be reworked (see the new not-yet-implemented dialogue of recruiting her with Halsin in your party, which will definitely be a change), sure hope everything else about her gets fixed and poilshed as well. Although I'll have to say, even with the broken triggers she feels much more fitting in the Act 3 storyline and in the group overall - by the virtue of also being tadpoled and having a personal connection to a boss (Orin), unlike Halsin, who... could really use some more content there yeah.

But in my opinion they more so should be compared to Jaheira and Minsc in terms of. Not being a part of the main six.

Now as far as the tadpoled gang goes, the only character who has it worse than Karlach in terms of content amount is Wyll. It doesn't always feel that way because his dad's importance and also prominent cutscenes with Mizora make it feel like he has more than Karlach's fetch quest, but also the lack of agency (why can't we even ask his opinion half the time?) and being overshadowed by the Emperor in what's supposed to be his personal quest are kinda. Unfortunate. To say the least.

TLDR is that I that I think it's natural that the rest of the characters will be held to a different standard than the main six (altho there are problems even so!), and within the origin crew Karlach doesn't have it the worst in terms of content amount, but she's definitely down there.

Dare I include the actual statistic in case you think I'm just being irrational here. The time statistic is based on the sheer amount of all voicelines put together, not on the time their actual quests take, so the scene amount is a more of an indicator there.
