Because at the moment it is. Without Minthara, the evil path is nothing.
That is entirely your opinion. Larian never predefined an evil path for the players, it was something we defined for ourselves. That said, I found enjoyment in the evil path outside of Minthara and I have to respectfully disagree.
How do I keep Minthara from getting more content? Let them add more personal quests to her, on evil path. In any case, you will only recruit her in the second act. In a good path or an evil one, she will not have any more personal content from this.
Uh, you’re claiming that making Minthara available to the good path would be ‘of no help’? By keeping Minthara in ‘the evil path’ as it is, most players won’t even notice her. She is already alienated by most of the fandom and her VA rarely ever joins full cast interviews.
Making her available without slaughtering the Grove would open up a lot more content for her because it makes her
more accessible to players. You’re gatekeeping her (I use this term loosely) whether you realize it or not, especially because Larian seems to be implementing content based on popularity/fan feedback. Swen said it himself they’re going to see where Minthara lands and then decide if they can add anything to her. They’re 100% not going to add a questline for her if there is no high demand.
Also the potential KO (which is the ‘good’ recruitment, for lack of better word) that’s been datamined is still ‘content’ for her, that’s new dialogue with new animations lol. You don’t have to agree with any of this, I’m just explaining to you how I see it.
