I don't share your opinion on Minthara being that deep or interesting, even in the fully patched state (and to be honest, they really did not give her much love and care at all in the patches). But it is fine to have differing opinions - I can see the potential for an interesting and fully fleshed out character, but I think they dropped the ball with her by just abandoning her in some half-finished state and they got away with it because fans got so thirsty for the dominant drow concept that they filled in all the blanks with fantasies.

I see what you mean in that a properly written and polished character with conflicting morals and agenda to that of a player would be interesting, I just think Minthara is a very poor example because she wasn't executed well at all. It hardly matters at all what you do, as long as you side with her or knock her out in act 1 she will come along with you and have no actual relevance in act 3 beyond her commentary. For all her talk, she has no boundaries that she won't tolerate that you cross and whether she is there or not has no impact on the outcome of any choices you make. Minthara and Halsin are very superfluous characters that are just...there I guess.

Feel free to disagree, but to me everything about her is superficial, a lot fancy words and pretty visuals, but no actual bite to her story or character.

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.
