Why does it have to be an either/or situation? Minthara is actually a very well-written character, especially now in her fully patched state. Sure, she wasn't originally intended to be a full companion, which shows, but even with that, she’s still way more compelling than anyone from BG1 or BG2.
The companions in the older games were honestly pretty bland, tropey, and safe. Even the "evil" ones didn't really force the player to adapt—they just had meaner dialogue lines but ultimately acted as background window dressing. They never challenged your agency or forced you to compromise.
The reason I bonded with Minthara so much, despite her having less content than the Origin characters, is exactly because she doesn't pander to the player. That's why I'm asking for a character designed from day one to treat the protagonist as a subordinate, look down on everyone, and bring massive consequences if you try to cross her or disagree with her choices. That's not "sloppy fan service," that's actual, risky roleplaying.

Man that D&D session I remember more now. We were given a task of stealing 4 or 5 things, no fighting allowed. I had rolled a dwarf fighter with a big axe. Well, you know.

Anyway, my group had interrogated a waiter somewhere, and needed to knock him out. I used the flat of my ax but rolled a 14 damage, yowch! Old school D&D civilians are more or less level 0 and have something like 4 hp. The DM was cool and let the guy just be knocked out instead of his head flying through a wall.

So went the complete participation of a stupid fighter in such a mini-module.

Thank you!

[20 minutes later] Google, how do I get into the tools section of the Steam app?

Sometimes I like to highlight something in yellow, as well as bold it. But to do both I have to re-select the text after B so I can then yellow it.

Another available mod, and only requires installing SE.
