So yeah, Larian rewriting the Evil path to be not-awful and empty of content, while adding more evil companions/rewriting existing ones would balance things out, but since it's almost certainly not going to happen at this point, it's a real shame that the only way to recruit Minthara is to essentially sign away your opportunity to experience a large swath of the game's content.
I wouldn�t say it�s empty but yes, the content disparity is sad to see. I think Larian kind of set themselves up with this one. Instead of supporting a hopeless cause, I just want Minthara to be recruitable without having to lose out on so much content. But the datamined KO option isn�t any better tbh. It�s been 3 months since release and they�re probably going to release DE sometime next year. Between improving the epilogues, fixing the numerous bugs this game has, or fleshing out the companions we currently have - I�d rather they just abandon the evil path altogether.
