Add goblin leaders in the second act to give us more quests. Give us Loviatar cleric etc. There are neutral and evil characters in the game, but they disappear. I don't even kill them, they just disappear. If you give Minthara to the good path, it will not help the evil path in any way, it will completely destroy it. Everyone will play good path as usual, because the "heroes" have more content anyway. Just in addition to this , they will also have a Minthara. How its help?

This whole paragraph is a little comedic to me because you make it seem like without Minthara, the evil path would be essentially nothing. I had hopes they would give us Nere, Sazza, or even Z’rell as a companion. But then I realize their writing might be rushed like Karlach, or watered down/changed entirely like Halsin. The companions we currently have also leave a lot of room for improvement. I’d agree to making it so we can sway Wyll and Karlach to being evil, but their moral codes are already pretty strong. I personally just can’t see much that can be done without altering the entire game. Maybe they’ll do an overhaul for DE, maybe not.

I personally don't care, if she is recruitable on both paths, I just think, the evil path need a bit more work. As it is now, there is no reason to go evil, apart from maybe Minthara, if you want her in your group.
As it seems, she will be recruitable on both paths, judging by the datamined dialogue.
