Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players condemn fan-favorite companion as \u201cirredeemable evil\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have denounced fan-favorite companion Minthara as a type of evil that cannot be redeemed. The good, evil, and nuanced deeds of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s companions have been discussed ad nauseam. For instance, Karlach, Wyll, and Minsc are generally considered morally good. Meanwhile, most view someone like Astarion as an example of Chaotic Neutral. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 also features its share of morally corrupt companions, those who walk a little too comfortably on the side of evil. Suffice it to say, Minthara counts among them. And for some fans, her despicable actions during the Emerald Grove raid are but a small part of what makes her irredeemable. (BG3 story spoilers follow.) Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans call Minthara \u201cirredeemable evil\u201d In a Reddit post marked with an Act 3 spoiler tag, user theblackbarth denounces Minthara as an evil character. And, despite what many fans seem to think, the Redditor argues she cannot be redeemed. Even mind control can\u2019t save her from this judgment. They continue, \u201c\u2026her main goal once you recruit her is vengeance and taking the Cult of the Absolute power for you and herself. She is not like Asterion or Lae\u2019zel who may reflect and grow based upon the player\u2019s actions and interactions\u2026 She is a power-hungry villainess no matter how many sob faces she can make and how sexy she can be.\u201d Calling Minthara in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 \u201cirredeemable evil\u201d seems an understatement after a read like that. Comments to the Reddit thread indicate most people agree with the original poster. The thing is, few see a problem with Minthara being the face of pure evil in BG3. One person stated, \u201c\u2018Minthara is just irredeemable evil.\u2019 Not a bad thing. There should be 1-2 more companions like her\u2026\u201d Someone else chimed in with a similar sentiment: \u201cBut that is not a bad thing. Wrath of The Righteous also has an irredeemable evil companion\u2026 It\u2019s good to have such things as options.\u201d Another person said of Minthara\u2019s behavior, \u201cI mean, what did you expect from a Lolth-sworn Drow?\u201d A different Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fan chimed in with, \u201cMinthara is not a good person. She simply isn\u2019t a hero of the people. But such is the reality of lol th-sworn drow. Rare is [there] one that is kind of actually redeemable. Minthara is a good neutral evil companion, however.\u201d These complexities and the discourse they inspire seem to make Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 an experience well worth having.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
