Hey Larian can we get some working content for once? Anything? No?
If Minthara is abducted by Orin, all of her camp pop-up dialogues related to Orin and the aftermath will be completely broken after she has been rescued.
*So traumatized by Orin that she can't even speak*
I thought the same thing. Although I do have to point out Minthara is power hungry no matter what - that is her core trait. She is just lenient in most cases, as she said in one of her endings: she is not unreasonable, and survival seems to matter more to her nearing the end of the game.
Oh my apologies for not being clear enough.
I didn't mean that she isn't power-hungry whatsoever, but that she isn't a power-hungry lunatic and a genocidal maniac. Naturally she wants to seize power where she can for the purposes of reshaping the world to make it better by rejecting all of its current flaws and being free of the gods who keep exploiting all of existence for their own whims. But despite her intentions and ambitions, she is neither a lunatic nor a maniac that will walk over all those dear to her while throwing everything away if she does not get what she wants, because she is a beautifully ambitious and incredibly reasonable person that at the end of the day is content with just her love interest and minor conquests.
So I was merely speaking in the scope of that horseshit scene where she is portrayed as a completely power-hungry lunatic and genocidal maniac whose entire personality is being portrayed as an egotistically demeaning insane psychopath who objectifies Dark Urge as a mere weapon she wants unleashed upon the world, which is completely against her character, personal journey and lore.
Like you've said it yourself quite well, that is not the Minthara we all know and love. The real Minthara does not deal in irrational ultimatums and emotional tantrums, instead she always keeps her cool and is a voice of reason for every situation. She'd be the first in line to run up to us and passionately embrace us after telling Bhaal to f*** off because if there's anything she truly admires, it's staying true to ourselves and not letting gods exploit us for their own games. After all she constantly comments about this for Shadowheart rejecting Shar and Lae'zel rejecting Vlaakith.

I've actually tested this yesterday and the video above shows a part of this test;
The only way for Minthara to avoid this horseshit break-up scene is to intentionally let Minthara be abducted by Orin. After she is abducted she will go back to camp, have some pop-up dialogues which are all bugged too (what a god damn surprise) and she'll never again speak of Orin or anything related to her.
If however she is not abducted by Orin, there is no way to avoid this scene unless you never speak with Minthara ever again for the rest of the game, because it's queued to trigger immediately on a normal interaction. Does not have a pop-up dialogue.
