Despite receiving countless bug fixes, dialogue changes, and romance alterations, the beloved Minthara feels like she\u2019s been completely forgotten about by Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Especially considering the lack of a story quest, while Astarion, Karlach, and Shadowheart are handed hours of adventure and plenty of emotional scenes. Unfortunately, Minthara isn\u2019t a companion many players add to their party, due to her introduction as a kill target in the Goblin camp during Act One. Sure, you could still wipe out the camp and keep Minthara, but to add her to your team traditionally you have to simultaneously wipe out the innocent Tieflings and annoy most of your current party, with each having a strenuous relationship with Tav in the first place. If you do successfully invite her to your party, you\u2019ll quickly notice a distinct lack of story quest, as opposed to every other Companion in the game, aside from the side companions Minsc and Jaheira. As such, one thing becomes clear, Larian has forgotten about what could have been a pivotal character in the game\u2019s story. After all, if you avoid her in the first Act, you\u2019ll come across her in the Second, meaning she\u2019s always meant to be a person you interact with. The community ultimately agrees with the issue, with many taking to pages like Reddit to share their frustration with the \u201cforgotten\u201d character, revealing how pivotal the likes of Astarion and Shadowheart are to players, while Wyll and Minthara are simply left aside. One user commented: \u201cMinthara is sorely missing content. Now, I\u2019ve learned to be okay with her not having a personal quest, even though I think she deserves one. But there are so many moments in the game in which she just has no reaction or response to. There are a lot of things that should be there, but isn\u2019t.\u201d Even the community feels that Minthara could have been more pivotal in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. However, it\u2019s important to note that she falls under the same category as Minsc, Jaheira, and Halsin, who are all not Origin characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has \u201cforgotten\u201d key companion despite constant updates Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 feels like it\u2019s completely forgotten about Minthara, with one of the game\u2019s most influential characters failing to even have a dedicated quest.
