Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players think one companion should have been available earlier Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is filled with fantastic companions that never fail to make you cry, fall in love, or die with laughter. However, one of the funniest party members is introduced far too late into the game according to players. Whether it\u2019s Astarion lulling you into a false sense of friendship, Lae\u2019zel\u2019s questionable friendship techniques, or Halsin\u2019s constant need to try and romance your player, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companions are certainly one of a kind. It\u2019s hard to imagine what the game would be like if they weren\u2019t by your side, or if some were introduced a little bit earlier. This is exactly what players were wondering on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, with thousands insisting that poor Minsc had far from enough screen time and should have been introduced much earlier than Act Three. \u201cDoes anyone wish we got Minsc a little bit earlier\u201d shared one user on the game\u2019s Reddit, wondering why he came into the game through the third act rather than being introduced sooner to her can become fully fledged into the party. \u201cI honestly don\u2019t think the story would have suffered if Larian had seeded Minsc in Act 2 instead of Act 3\u2033 commented one user, highlighting just how popular the decision would have been, and how little it would have impacted the story. Minsc arrives in Act Three, meaning most players have completed around 40-50 hours of the game by that point, depending on how long they take to get to Baldur\u2019s Gate. However, fans believe this didn\u2019t have to be the case, with many even coming up with perfect locations for him to be announced. One user revealed that they \u201cwould have put him in Moonrise Tower, fully under the influence of the Absolute, and made part of the quest to get Jaheira to require rescuing Minsc from the Absolute.\u201d This would perfectly combine Jaheira and Minsc\u2019s storylines, which is perfect considering their friendship in previous games. While it would be fantastic to see Minsc earlier in the game, one fan revealed why it wasn\u2019t the case: \u201cOn one hand: I can understand why they wanted to save the \u201clegacy\u201d characters for later in the game \u2013 it gives fans of the first two Baldur\u2019s Gate games a fun opportunity to see old favorites again, while still allowing the majority of the game to focus on the new characters.\u201d However, they quickly argued the case that \u201cMinsc is amazing and there\u2019s no such thing as too much Minsc, so I would have liked to get more time with him as a proper part of the team. I hear he was even initially intended to be introduced earlier, but they moved him back for one reason or another.\u201d While there\u2019s no chance of Minsc\u2019s story changing or him being introduced earlier on, it just goes to show who fans absolutely adore and would love to see more of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
