That’s a really good and detailed analysis — thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely agree that turning Minthara into an Origin character would require a lot of restructuring, especially with the Goblin camp and the “Chosen of the Absolute” storyline.
As a possible alternative, I was thinking about a DLC that could take place in the past, when Minthara was much younger — maybe around 20 years old (since she’s about a century old in BG3).
It could follow her early journey and rise within Lolth’s hierarchy, while still respecting all established lore and D&D rules.
The third general in that timeline could even be a Dragonborn, since that race doesn’t get much representation in the main game. It could add a new dynamic and expand the world further.
Just an idea, of course — but I’d love to see something like that. Thanks again for your thoughtful perspective, it’s great to discuss this kind of creative “what if” scenario with fellow fans! 💜
