Minsc probably would have been better if he was an Act 1 recruit instead of Act 3 as was originally intended. Kinda funny that they had tie-in comics bringing him back through the whole petrification loophole giving him a backstory with his new adventuring group, establishing him being infected with the tadpole as a prequel to the game....even putting him prominently in the magic the gathering bg 3 promotional tie-in, and then cut him almost entirely from the game. Very odd choice.
Yeah, he could have been in there sooner, but I was kind of nostlagic, when we finally recruit him - and I didn't even like Minsc that much in the original game. I was more fangirling over Jaheira though. She is one of my favourite characters from teh first two games and I really think, Larian did her justice, I just love her, especially with good Durge.
