Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Justice for Minthara

I read through some of Minthara's Consulting firm feedback on discord earlier today while waiting for the boards to come back to life.

Nice work there! hahah

Also I just keep thinking back to when they changed her eyeshadow to white and gave her the pixie trim and the goofy ringmail. Various wounds, mostly grievous, and then like what, maybe 3-6 months before we finally got to see her Armor? No one is more patient. But her safety color there is still missmatched (as noted in one of the feedback volumes over there as well) cause she still has her clerical blue for the boots, instead of the black/violet/brass tones she's been repping with the Spidersilk.

OG Minthara had the Chain on and rocked blue as her safety color. She also presented like a War Cleric as the temp follower at first, before Paladin was added (probably why peeps figured Karlach would be the Paladin initially I guess) but anyway, she still needs the boots to match her new look since the overhaul back in 21.



I'd say nobody puts Baby in a corner, but then this is where she gets to hang at the Elfsong tavern if you go the knockout route... lol



Like half the time she has to pretend to be a potted plant while she prays?

Least in Rivington she's foregrounded...



I mean you can't tell me that pile of skulls by the tent isn't meant for Minthara! ? hehe

It's not the banter.

After you get Minthara out of Moonrise, you can talk to her in camp about how

I'm going to do it too. I'm trying to make all the choices I think Astarion would make, remembering his comments, suggestions, approvals and disapprovals from my Tav playthrough and vids. I found his and Lae'zel's banter about obliterating the grove after visiting it for the first time rather funny. That is sad to hear that there are no special lines.

The choice to convince Halsin is something I'd like to have for other playthroughs.

Hahahaha I can't believe this...

ZERO romantic dialogues and reactions throughout the entirety of ACTs 2 and 3, other than the pitiful "Can I Kiss You?" option with a placeholder kissing animation while she acts as if we aren't even romantically involved. And then at the VERY END of ACT 3 when the whole world goes to tsk'va she suddenly has all sorts of lines where she's romantic as hell. Calling us love, being caring, inspirational, urging us to seize opportunity and not fall into doubt.

The very best of her character and her inner heart is quite literally shown only during the very end of the act while the whole world is falling apart. Omg... where was all this for the last 60 hours I've been playing!



It's like someone flipped her switch out of nowhere and realized she has a soul mate next to her. Unfortunately I never got any of her supposedly unique elvish love scenes either, so got no clue what's up with that those. Maybe it's an epilogue thingy.

You probably missed a lot of stuff that was supposed to trigger but didn’t. There’s no way her voice actor didn’t record any romantic dialogue for Acts 2 and 3. Crazy how badly it’s bugged. It must be incredibly frustrating, given that I’m frustrated by even small bugs with my girl Shadowheart. Folks on this thread are right, this is straight-up unacceptable.

There was not even the option to romance Minthara when I recruited her on the good path. It was all very weird.

So Minthara on my evil playthrough is pretty much broken. I can't tell her about my Durge or anything related to "personal matters", these dialogues don't exist. But my friend that plays "good Durge", recruited her via knock out and has dialogues with her about Urges and any other dialogues that are unavailable to me.

How is this even possible at this point? Larian doesn't test their own game?

I had that issue too.

Don't know what causes it at all, but from the two evil Durge playthroughs I've done recently (both on the same patch), only the first one couldn't talk to Minthara about the urges for some reason despite both legitimately recruiting her.

who wants to bet patch 6 has no new Minthara content, they just added a new kiss to her, that's enough for the next 6 months~ /j

After all, game doesn't allow you to go o Act 1 from 2, after you rescue Minthara.

6 Months? Years more like if treatment of Minthy is of any indication.
Seriously though, I'm ready to wait for proper fixes if Larian at very least publicly addressed it.

Also the amount of her voiced reactive dialogue at Act 1's Creche makes me wish she was recruitable in Act 1. After all, game doesn't allow you to go o Act 1 from 2, after you rescue Minthara.
After all, Moonrise trial works w/o her present just fine, so she shouldn't be really hardlocked to it.
