Minthara has always been one of the more controversial characters in the game. Not only do you need to genocide a refugee camp in order to get her on your team, but she\u2019s not exactly as open as some of the other party members. As a servant of the Absolute, Minthara is a lot more morally dubious than most of your companions, even giving Astation and Shadowheart a run for their money, but she doesn\u2019t have the tenderness that have made those two some of the most popular characters in the game. However, players have discovered a softer side to her that makes her more redeemable than you\u2019d first think. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player discovers Minthara\u2019s softer side In a post on the official Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, one player said that they were \u201cabsolutely gushing over Minthara\u2019s character\u201d and that they found it to be bizarrely heartwarming in a way. \u201cHer characterization is just so fun and strangely heartwarming? The way she opens up to your Tav and talks about feeling the burden of expectation really hit home for me. \u201cWhile not a \u2018good\u2019 character, I don\u2019t find her evil nature takes away from my own character\u2019s nature. I had my doubts about her, but honestly, she\u2019s becoming #1 for me.\u201d Several other players who had seen the light also agreed, with one saying: \u201cShe\u2019s honestly maybe a top 5 character in the game for me. It\u2019s a bummer that she can sometimes be a little unreactive or have bugged dialogue, but the majority of the time she\u2019s a goddamn delight to have around.\u201d For more news and updates on Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, check out our breakdown of the latest patch notes, including the changes Larian made to the Astarion romance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player discovers secret side to most controversial companion Larian StudiosA member of the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community has revealed a tender side to one of the game\u2019s spikiest companions, the drow paladin Minthara.
