Below is a list of Minthara's problems as of the latest update. No major spoilers, I used it to shorten my post.
If I missed anything, kindly submit a bug report to Larian. I'm only sharing this here for those who are unaware of the true severity of her current issues. I also explained this further on the
Larian official discord.
That's a list indeed. I’m relieved to say the first point is not happening to me. To hear that she has never been fully fixed is... genuinely confusing, and saddening.
I am, unfortunately, one of the many players who got shafted by the incredibly flawed and bugged recruitment option they added for Minthara in the newest patch. The game thinks I didn't knock her out "correctly", so she didn't appear at Moonrise Towers despite the work I did. I could backtrack and reload a previous save to get her, but that would mean I'd have to redo 30+ hours of content in order to get back to where I was. Should I just suck it up and move on with the story, or should I wait and pray that Larian releases a hotfix/patch that'll fix the problem?
Figured I'd ask about it here, since the passion I'm seeing for the character makes me think that Minthara's worth all the consideration and waiting.
As someone who went through the same thing, I express my sympathy for you, friend. It pushed me to take a break from the game for several days, but I went to redo those hours of content. No one here can decide what's best for you. What I can say though... from my playthrough so far, Minthara is worth experiencing and I can see why people are passionate about her, even now in her broken state. The other bugs will not stop me from finishing Act 3 and I won’t hesitate to replay the game, if she ever gets fixed, which I hope will be soon.
I think this has a lot to do with my personal opinion. I just dig her personality and dark sense of humor, and I don't play for romance. She has a lot of lines that made me either do a double take or just burst out laughing. Furthermore I find her unique for a drow and her morality is, let’s say, different from others. She’s also the oldest in the group, or maybe Halsin is. I don’t often play with Halsin though... and I can safely say I like Minthara more, no offense to him
