So... I got to ACT 3 with Minthara legitimately recruited by invading the Grove and... I'm baffled. What in the world is Larian smoking over there by disrespecting her so much through such terrible negligence, she is ridiculously missing content and buggy.

The ironic fact is she actually has more content and feels more alive if the player recruits her by knocking her out rather than legitimately doing it, because she gets to react to plenty of stuff other companions do with their quests. For example her dialogue after Karlach is able to finally touch people is quite amazing and motivational.

But in this legitimate playthrough... YIKES! The amount of her clear-as-day missing and buggy content is insane.

  • First she immediately acts when recruited as if Shadowheart did a whoopsie in the Shadowfell by spearing a certain someone, despite that not even happening yet
  • Second why is this a one-time dialogue even, why can't we keep asking her about companions after specific points in the story to see her reactions to various companion events
  • Third she has absolutely no dialogue options whatsoever to talk about the player's Dark Urges (she does with the knockout method though)
  • Her "Wish to talk about private matters" dialogue branch is completely empty. Has been empty for the entirety of ACT 2 and still is in ACT 3.
  • After exhausting her initial dialogue post-recruitment, she does not have any new dialogue up until the very finale of ACT 2
  • Romancing her after the act's finale she will say that tonight we are fully hers... but NOTHING ever happens and Shadowheart (who I was fully romantically involved with at the time) immediately broke off her romance the very next morning. Thanks Larry...
  • Despite Withers then recognizing Minthara as a love interest, there's absolutely ZERO new dialogue, acknowledgment or reaction from Minthara about us being romantically involved (probably because whatever was supposed to happen that night never happened, so now I'm stuck in a non-existent romantic friendzone with no way out because I can't even talk to her about it)
  • Then in ACT 3 after the big reveal of who is actually in the Prism, absolutely ZERO reaction from her about what just happened. Nothing...


Jesus Christ... and Larian says she is fixed??? I decided to play Honour Mode with the worst outcomes imaginable just to see her content and test just how lacking such a playthrough would be. I knew it was gonna be terrible because I've tested it in Early Access, but I did not expect it to be this terrible in full release. Where the hell is all her content and thousands of voice lines that were supposedly locked behind some buggy trigger not working properly? What a massive disrespect and mistreatment of the character...

I'm so mad I'm gonna punch a Displacer Kitten laezelmad
