Given the fact that a minority of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players can stomach an evil run, Minthara is a companion that is entirely absent from a lot of parties. In choosing the morally righteous action of defending Emerald Grove, you totally lock yourself out of getting know this stern, mysterious Drow. Due to the community\u2019s limited exposure to Minthara\u2019s storyline, one player believes that fan perception of her is flanderized. This fan argues that because many have not experienced the complexities of her character, they see her taboo sexuality as being her only appeal. Minthara is more than her \u201cdrowussy\u201d and this Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player wants you to know it The player lamented on Reddit that the community doesn\u2019t read Minthara\u2019s story the same degree of nuance they do for Astarion. They\u2019re both damaged characters who harbor similar streaks of being power-hungry and selfish. However, they see Astarion\u2019s trauma as manifesting like \u201ca kicked puppy\u201d while Minthara maintains \u201cconfidence and anger.\u201d If you can break past Minthara\u2019s vicious exterior, the player argues you can start to enjoy a satisfying story arc of \u201ca person with no home [who] is abandoned by their gods.\u201d Plenty of commenters agreed with this sentiment, and one added, \u201cI think she\u2019s hilarious as well. 10\/10 companion would slaughter innocents again.\u201d While OP concedes that Minthara\u2019s romance scenes are just as spicy as you\u2019d expect, she\u2019s more than a freak in the bedroll. They state that she\u2019s also an intensely passionate and incredibly earnest partner \u2013 a total ride-or-die that will unconditionally love your character even if they turn into a Mindflayer or adopt their Slayer Form. So, it if you can handle talking a walk on the dark side, why not recruit Minthara? Thankfully, you don\u2019t have to actively contribute to the slaughter at the Emerald Grove to get her to join your party. As one of our previous articles covers, players have discovered a handy loophole that\u2019ll make you feel a little less guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s player argues Minthara is more than just \u201chot and mean\u201d Larian StudiosThe Minthara defenders have logged on to explain why Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Lolth-Sworn Drow companion is a whole lot more than meets the eye.
