Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has various companions, each with their own distinct personalities that make them memorable. While that\u2019s the case, not all of them are getting equal amounts of attention, according to the community. The problem with certain companions in the game is that some of them lack content, while the others simply take too long before you can recruit them. With Halsin, you\u2019ll need to wait until you finish a significant quest in Act 2. Minsc, on the other hand, requires you to keep Jaheira alive and find him in a specific location in Baldur\u2019s Gate. With so many hoops to go through to get him to join your camp, one user in a Reddit thread has claimed that Minsc being available in Act 3 is the game\u2019s biggest mistake \u2013 to which many players agreed. \u201cYep, it\u2019s really silly. And unless you make a beeline for his quest, you get him so late in Act 3 that it\u2019s not even worth the time to level him up and fit him in, even if you are willing to replace someone,\u201d commented one user. Another user explained: \u201cRecruiting companions so late in a game always kind of sucks. They\u2019re fine as characters, but it\u2019s harder to build a run around them because you\u2019ve already played half or more of the game without them.\u201d Meanwhile, one user said: \u201cNot only at Act 3, but you need to complete a big chunk of it as well. I am sure he has to have many lines for Act 3 that most of us will never hear.\u201d \u201cI recruited Minsc.. and then right after, it was just one quest and the end of the game. Wtf man,\u201d one chimed in. Some players in the comments even claimed that he\u2019d be better off not being a recruitable companion in the first place due to the circumstances. The game\u2019s Act 3 is already incredibly massive. With so many buildings and hidden locations to explore, it\u2019s so easy to get overwhelmed by all the quests and miss out on Minsc. And that\u2019s assuming your Moonrise Tower raid went well, as you need Jaheira alive to recruit him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players convinced one companion is game\u2019s \u201cbiggest mistake\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have been left frustrated over one companion that you can only recruit late in the game and after a major quest.
