BG1&2 skillfully left it up to the player whether Boo in an actual space hamster or if Minsc was just hit in the head too hard. Leaning towards latter.. Actually strike that, there was no evidence whatsoever that Boo was anything but an ordinary hamster pet of a deranged warrior. So it was easy to just ignore.
I doubt Larian will be able to restrain themselves or to be so nuanced. It's more likely they're going to revel in silly over the top space hamster content and go all out comic book style, "going for the eyes" and stuff for memes. And it will be a cringe mismatch again in a story that involves mind flayers, dark cults, murder etc.
I never had Minsc in my party in BG1 or 2 either because he was a bit much. I generally like to RP a "smart" or professional party who know what they're doing. I don't like silly over the top stuff rubbed on my face when I'm not looking for it.
