The RPG won over fans immediately on release, critics too praising the game for its in-depth exploration, character development and freedom in creativity and design. The game managed to take the top prize at the 2023 Game Awards and has continued to be a must-play even in 2024. However, a recent update to the game has left fans frustrated at the way in which one companion has been slightly reworked thanks to some new dialogue changes. The companion in question being Minthara, the tough around the edges warrior who takes a long time to warm up to the player. The romance between Minthara and the player is a topic of major discussion throughout the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community. In large part due to the recent changes made to the dialogue surrounding the possible romance between Minthara and the player. Previously, it was possible to get the best ending in the game and still try to explore a romance with Minthara despite her reluctance. However, the new dialogue changes have made it so that Minthara can reject the player outright, impacting the ending of the game as a result. In a new Reddit thread, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have called the new dialogue changes to Minthara\u2019s romance a \u201cslap in the face.\u201d The new thread filled with comments from players equally frustrated by the changes. One user wrote, \u201cI\u2019d rather her not getting any new dialogue if this is what we\u2019re getting. I\u2019m hoping this is a bug as some suspect.\u201d Another Baldur\u2019s Gate player explained that as well as being out of character for Minthara these dialogue changes can also impact the whole experience for players. \u201cThe problem for me isn\u2019t the reaction itself, out of character or not. It\u2019s that railroad you. No other combination of player character and romance partner locks you out of the best ending if you want to stay with them. Redemption Durge X Minthara has been a thing since release, even had unique content in the epilogue, so to prevent that is a terrible change even if it fits her character (which I think it doesn\u2019t). At the very least if they wish to keep this dialogue there should be a way to convince her to stay with you, since she\u2019s a rational person that listens to reason.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have complained about the new dialogue changes to Minthara. Given this, we\u2019ll be sure to keep you updated if the devs respond to this criticism from players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players call Minthara\u2019s dialogue changes a \u201cslap in the face\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have slammed the new Minthara dialogue changes, with many calling the new romance details a \u201cslap in the face.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was one of the biggest video games of 2023.
