On the topic of bugged recruitment, it occured to me that perhaps they mean the generic 'this npc will not talk to you due to low approval' dialogue, after which a trade window open and you have to bribe the npc so that they like you enough to talk to you.
Because I've got that after knocking Minthara out and recruiting her.
Hmmm, no, that's not meant to happen. I never got that in my playthrough... and I don't think that's what they mean in the interview. I was here when people briefly talked about the datamine and I didn't get it after Act 2
It's also been annoying since like what was it, the hotfix that claimed to totally fix her (and didn't) that she's had dialogue like other companions that would imply a romantic fade to black but it doesn't even have the courtesy to do that, it just sits dead in the water and you continue on as if the dialogue didn't happen.
The longer these bugs stick around the more I want Larian to just fess up to what that "extremely stupid bug" was way back when they first addressed ANYTHING wrong with her in a patch because it's apparently STILL causing problems.
Pretty sure it was hotfix 5... and that was when I was still killing Minthara in every playthrough, crazy times haha. Now she's one of my favorites with Lae'zel and Shadowheart. I often wonder about the stupid bug they were talking about and why they didn't just clarify it back then.
