The fact that they’ve continued to ignore this for nearly 5 months is ridiculous and no longer acceptable. What excuse do they have?
Nothing really. I’m not sure they’re ever going to address the situation. I bet they're just going to fix her one day and move on to other things. Like they've been pretty bad at communicating so far, and answering why she's been broken for
this long wouldn't give them a good look - because there isn't really a good excuse lol, what would they say? Minthara's code was too complex? Even the modders managed to solve most of her issues: recruitment, bugged dialogue, etc. Also it's been proven time and time again that Larian is just biased. After everything's been sorted out, the vast majority of players will probably sweep this issue under the rug too.
So yeah, I'm not expecting much from them on that front, I just hope they learn from this. I certainly did. Seeing my favorite character getting sidelined for months to make room for more "marketable" characters was disappointing enough. I'll think twice before buying their games in the future.
