AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Shadowheart: Any doubts about falling for a foe, Minthara? Or does that just add spice to things?
  • Minthara: I do not fall for my foes. I vanquish them.
  • Minthara: I cannot love who I do not trust, with either my heart or my body. I am fortunate to have found someone worthy.

AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Shadowheart: Is drow society as the books say? It almost sounds tempting - matriarchal power, flourishing to its greatest extent.
  • Minthara: It flourishes because the strong feed on the weak. Charming as you are, child, you would be nourishment for the matrons mothers.
  • Shadowheart: ...Of course.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING SHADOWHEART AND REJECTED SHAR;

  • Minthara: I may not weep for my home, but I would take a mushroom over a flower any day.
  • Shadowheart: I would have said I admire fungi as well.
  • Shadowheart: Until I met such a thing you call a Myconid.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING SHADOWHEART AND ACCEPTED SHAR;

  • Minthara: I cannot tell if you are more a deviant or a debutante, Shadowheart.
  • Minthara: I would like to test both aspects of your character when next you find yourself alone at night.
  • Shadowheart: I'm not quite sure I like where this is going.

AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Lae'zel: Our leader is a fool for love, Minthara. I'd never be compelled to conduct such a poorly-planned jailbreak.
  • Minthara: They did not do it for love. They did it for my prowess in combat, as well as coitus. I excel in both.
  • Lae'zel: As do I. Sometimes the acts are not dissimilar.

AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Lae'zel: At what age do you think it is right to set a child upon mortal combat?
  • Minthara: The moment it can hold a blade. It may even test its resilience against some common poisons while it is still in the womb.
  • Lae'zel: Tsk'va. We do not wilfully risk our young until they are of thirteen years. No point wasting battle-flesh before it's primed.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING LAE'ZEL AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE;

  • Minthara: A few pointers, Lae'zel. I heard you and your lover locked in combat, but the test you set was not rigorous enough.
  • Minthara: Next time, tie them to the ground, and do not release them until you are both satisfied.
  • Lae'zel: Hmm. You have given me ideas...

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING LAE'ZEL AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE;

  • Minthara: You fight harder than ever now that you have a lover to protect from harm, Lae'zel.
  • Minthara: The githyanki should encourage relations between their soldiers. It is a proven tactic for morale.
  • Lae'zel: We need no boon for morale - I fight well when there is kin at my side. And now, I count one more among them.

[Linked Image from bg3.wiki] KARLACH


AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Karlach: Hey, so, what's romance like in the Underdark, Minthara?
  • Minthara: In Menzoberranzan, romance is commonly a luxury enjoyed between women. Men are mostly present for propagation.
  • Minthara: Here on the surface, gender does not define one's role so strictly. There are weaklings of every sort.

AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Karlach: It's funny seeing you so smitten, Minthara. Didn't think you were able.
  • Minthara: I took my first lover before you were a spark in your father's eye, child.
  • Karlach: Go on.
  • Minthara: She was a high priestess of House Vandree. Beautiful, elegant, ruthless.
  • Minthara: I adored her, and had been sharing her bed for some time when the order came that she must die.
  • Minthara: I stayed with her while the poison did its work, and whispered words of comfort as she slipped away.
  • Karlach: Oh no.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING KARLACH AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE;

  • Minthara: You allowed that smith to meddle with your heart, Karlach, simply so you can be touched?
  • Minthara: Better to shut off the carnal desires than indulge them. They are distractions.
  • Karlach: Yes, because every function comes with a handy switch.
  • Karlach: Next time I'm injured, don't heal, just turn me off and on again.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING KARLACH AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE;

  • Minthara: Have you ever been afraid, Karlach? Truly afraid?
  • Karlach: You know how much time I spent in the hells, right? Of course I've been scared!
  • Karlach: I kept on going though. Knew there'd be better days on the other side - and here they are.

[Linked Image from bg3.wiki] GALE


AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Gale: I'm glad to know you have a softer side, Minthara. I was beginning to think you rather heartless.
  • Minthara: Loving another is not soft, wizard. It is one of the hardest things a person can do.
  • Gale: So you admit you've found love! How delightful - I'm happy for you both.

AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Gale: I found an empty bottle of venom in camp, Minthara. Safe to assume it was yours?
  • Minthara: Indeed. I have been dosing my partner while they sleep by my side.
  • Minthara: They refuse to take it in their food, but I must build up their immunity in case we ever visit Menzoberranzan together.
  • Gale: Let's never speak of this again.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING GALE AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE;

  • Minthara: You've been smiling like a fool of late, wizard. Explain yourself.
  • Gale: I've found love. Surely even you wouldn't begrudge me some happiness.
  • Minthara: All I will say on the matter is that you were wise to lower your standards from the godly to the ghastly.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING GALE AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE;

  • Minthara: Do you have elder siblings, wizard?
  • Gale: You're about to say something awful, aren't you?
  • Minthara: In Menzoberranzan, after a house has two sons, every subsequent male-born child is slaughtered at birth, as it is useless, even for breeding.
  • Minthara: You have the aura of a third child about you.

[Linked Image from bg3.wiki] WYLL


AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Wyll: I really hope you're being careful with our friend, Minthara. I wouldn't want you to break each other.
  • Minthara: If I break them, it will be in the pursuit of pleasure, and they will die smiling.

AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Wyll: Amorous passions usually make people more considerate, Minthara. Kinder. Sympathetic. Better at cooperating.
  • Minthara: They can also make people more protective, guarded, paranoid, and jealous.
  • Wyll: Never mind.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING WYLL AND BROKE MIZORA'S CONTRACT;

  • Minthara: You confound me, Wyll. You have all the illustrious iniquities of a warlock, and you choose to impress your partner with dancing?
  • Wyll: Well I'm hardly going to say 'oh come here, have a hug in the arms of Hadar'.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING WYLL AND ACCEPTED MIZORA'S CONTRACT;

  • Minthara: Your devilish patron is a delight, Wyll. Have you ever lain with her?
  • Wyll: I'm really not that kind of man.
  • Minthara: She will see her failure to seduce you as a stain on her honour. I know I would.

[Linked Image from bg3.wiki] ASTARION


AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Astarion: So how does Lolth feel about romance? Are you expected to bite your mate's head off afterwards?
  • Minthara: Be grateful I no longer follow the Spider Queen's teachings. If I did, you would be the first to fall into my web.
  • Astarion: I can't tell if you're joking. She is joking, right?

AFTER ACT III ROMANCE SCENE IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING MINTHARA;

  • Astarion: So, what's it like caring for someone other than yourself, Minthara?
  • Minthara: You have never tried it, I assume.
  • Astarion: Gods no. It sounds like a lot of work.
  • Minthara: It takes less work than you devote to maintaining your foppish facade. And it's far more rewarding.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING ASTARION AFTER ACT II ROMANCE SCENE;

  • Minthara: Half the men of Menzoberranzan are pleasure-servants. Weaklings, whose beauty is their only redeeming quality.
  • Minthara: You would fit right in with them, Astarion.
  • Astarion: You think I'm beautiful? Oh, Minthara.
  • Minthara: Hrmmph.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING ASTARION AND REMAINED A SPAWN;

  • Minthara: Are you a better man now that you are loved, Astarion? Did they mend your ways?
  • Astarion: I rather think they did. Can't imagine anyone wanting to do that for you, though dear.

IF THE PLAYER IS ROMANCING ASTARION AND BECAME A VAMPIRE LORD;

  • Minthara: Would you ever consider sharing the gift of immortality with me, Astarion?
  • Astarion: I think not. That is for me and my darling to share.
  • Minthara: If they have prevented your eyes and fangs from wandering to other necks, it must be a special bond indeed.

Fantastic, thank you for taking the time to share these so thoroughly. cheer
("foppish facade" lol)
