Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 features a variety of companions to recruit. But beyond fan-favorite characters like Astarion, Shadowheart and Karlach, there are some who are pretty easy to miss. Among them is Minsc, a returning character from the first two Baldur\u2019s Gate games. The ranger and his trusty hamster companion Boo are back, but since they cannot be encountered and recruited until Act 3 and require another easy-to-miss companion in Jaheira, many players probably haven\u2019t added him to their parties. Now, Reddit users are discussing why that\u2019s such as shame, as Minsc arguably has some of the best lines of dialogue in all of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players love Minsc\u2019s hilarious lines The conversation was started by Reddit user Sliiimball, who shared one of their favorite Minsc quotes on the Baldurs Gate 3 subreddit. In all three Baldur\u2019s Gate games, Minsc is, to put it lightly, not the brightest bulb. He goes everywhere with Boo, who he genuinely believes he can talk to, and has a very black-and-white view of good and evil. It also helps that he\u2019s voiced by Critical Role\u2019s Matt Mercer, who delivers lines like \u201cNo, it\u2019s a hamster\u201d and \u201cLife is simple, and so is Minsc\u201d with hilarious earnestness. But while Minsc may come off as \u201csimple,\u201d other commenters have praised his \u201cheartachingly profound\u201d serious moments. This includes one where Minsc doesn\u2019t understand why Jaheira is mad at him because, as the user paraphrases, \u201cWhat good am I good for if not for dying to protect you?\u201d While many never get to experience the brilliance that is Minsc, this conversation shows why it\u2019s worth seeking him out. As one player admits, \u201cCouldn\u2019t stand him on my first playthrough, paid more attention to him on my second and realized it was \u2013 in fact \u2013 me, who was the ass.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players praise underrated companion: \u201cThis guy has the best quotes\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are celebrating one easy-to-miss companion who has some truly incredible lines.
