Thank you everyone and please if I may have missed anything else that needs improving, feel free to point out.


I also wish to address here what seems to be a common train of thought about humbling expectations;

When it comes to Minthara; her players are the most humble and patient fans out there I've ever seen for over 2 years now, despite the blatant lack of love, care and attention by Larian towards her.

I personally love Larian, I admire Larian, I respect Larian and give credit where credit is due... but I also give severe criticism where criticism is due. What they're doing to Minthara is an absolute travesty and her players can't afford anymore to be humble, patient and grateful with mere breadcrumbs hoping things will change about her after 3 years almost, because they won't. Nothing will change as long as her players do not start causing massive tidal waves to make them realize enough is enough.

Because these new additions to other companions listed below is not Larian being unable to fix her or improve her character, this is just blatant not giving a damn about her whatsoever when even Halsin (who is also not an Origin companion) is getting improvements;

(ADDITIONS FOR OTHER COMPANIONS - Potential spoilers)

  • If you sit on the stool in Shadowheart's camp corner, she will now react to you with a line based on your relation with her.
  • If you part ways with Shadowheart and hide in the Underdark as a mind flayer, she won't forget and think you've spent the last sixth months together in the epilogue.
  • You can now give Shadowheart a hug when she's crying after losing or saving ________.
  • Added a new dialogue option for Shadowheart on a certain path when talking to Zenthino.

  • Halsin no longer blames the goblins for his death in his Speak with Dead dialogue if he managed to get killed much later on.
  • You can finally tell Halsin that you found that letter that was sent to Kagha.
  • Halsin will now react to a particular song in the epilogue.
  • You can no longer invite the owlbear cub to live with you and Halsin in the epilogue if you do not, in fact, live with Halsin.
  • Added a platonic path when talking to Halsin at camp if you haven't been flirting with him.
  • Added a line in Halsin's camp dialogue to account for an outcome where you resolved the situation at the Goblin Camp but the goblin leadership wasn't necessarily killed.

  • Added additional Karlach reactivity to the ________ with Gale in the epilogue.
  • Added a new overhead line for Karlach for when she reaches Last Light, the tieflings are alive, and she hasn't met Dammon yet but knows there might be someone who can help her.
  • Fixed a case where in some flows, Karlach wouldn't react to Zevlor's description of the Descent.
  • When playing as Karlach, if you still can't touch others, Halsin will now correctly wait until you can for that promised night.
  • Added additional Avatar Karlach and Avatar Astarion reactivity within dialogues in the epilogue, allowing them to request a cure for their conditions.
  • Karlach won't play with Clive while standing on a chair anymore. We wouldn't want either of them to get hurt.
  • Karlach can no longer have sex with Minthara if she hasn't had the proper upgrades to her heart yet.
  • If you knock out Karlach and she leaves, Mizora will come to judge Wyll the night after.
  • Tweaked the flow of a dialogue so Karlach gets the opportunity to have a dialogue with the Emperor if she chooses to ____________________.
  • Polished the timing on Karlach's Speak with Dead dialogue.

  • Gale can now kiss your hand if you agree to ________.
  • Gale's journal will no longer claim he turned into a mind flayer if _________ was actually the one who transformed.

  • Avatars who went to Avernus with Karlach can now explicitly tell Gale they can't ____________ because they need to look after Big K.
  • Added additional Avatar Karlach and Avatar Astarion reactivity within ______ Gale's dialogues in the epilogue, allowing them to request a cure for their conditions.

I don't wish to be petty or ungrateful for all these improvements, but the favoritism is obvious as they're ignoring a 3 year old issue now.

  • Shadowheart received reactive relationship dialogue for a piece of camp decoration, while Minthara does not even have her most basic relationship dialogue available.
  • Shadowheart also received a hug for her ACT III personal quest finale (which was requested by her fans mind you), while Minthara's community has been requesting them to fix Minthara for over 2 years now. The basic minimum so we can at least have a functional companion, Larian? Hello?!
  • Halsin received even more reactivity in ACT I in an already ocean of reactivities regarding the whole situation with the Goblin Camp, meanwhile Minthara still has NONE even for the most basic expected continuities (all of them documented in the feedback posts #1, #2 and #3).

I am on a warpath ever since Update #6 because of all this and I will keep ripping through every single issue with Minthara to the end of time and calling out Larian until they realize enough is enough. There's no holding back anymore until Minthara's fixed, improved and given the respect she deserves like they've given all the other companions.

All they have to do is just start caring and showing respect to Minthara, like they do with all the other companions.

Could you elaborate on this a bit more please? I assume you recruited her either by knocking her at the Grove or siding with her during the raid.

I know she does that if the player goes back to ACT I with her, but I haven't seen it ever in ACT II. The only thing I know of is that if she dies as a party member, other companions will trigger their mocking ACT I banter about her death. Like Shadowheart smirking about claiming Minthara's scalp as a trophy.

So I'll need some details to properly test, record and list the issue.
