So basically, she told a joke while expressing zero emotion and not particularly caring about it, and that made it even funnier.

For clarification: unless you are a devoted Lolth worshipper, Drow, and specifically female. Most Drow cities in the underdark are horrible places where you would not enjoy yourself.
A reminder that the priestesses of Lolth wear the thinnest garments that leave little to the imagination. Not to be seductive, but because Lolth likes to set her priestesses on fire randomly for fun.
EVEN if you are hardcore Lolth worshipping drow priestess, Underdark is a horrible place to live. Why? Because Lolth's favorite sacrifice are high-ranking, powerful drow clerics (exclusively female) of her own church. If those are not available, any drow will do, though she prefers to devour her own worshippers.
@@cytorakdemon Lucky are the priestesses that ONLY get set on fire. There's so many conflicting stories behind Driders that I'm convinced they're another of Lolth's favorite pranks.
Minthara really is endearing...in a weird sort of way. Might be worth doing an evil playthrough after all. It's just so damn hard because I care about stupid lifeless pixels.
There's actually a mod that allows you to recruit her in a 'good' playthrough! No need to kill the Tieflings or leave them to die!! I haven't tried it myself just yet, but after seeing some videos like this one I'm seriously debating on downloading it for my current (good XD) playthrough. . .
That joke came from so far out the left field when I first played it that I literally spat out my coffee. Had to spend the entire day cleaning out the PC.
Ah the clown makeup, i thought it would be a bit of light hearted fun to put it on all my companions and Shadowheart and I kept it on during the swimming scene making a lovely romantic moment totally ridiculous, I then spent the next two hours trying to get it off as long resting didn't rid me of it and i got extremely angry and wished I'd never touched it
"Just give the word and I will kill the clown." I think this may have been the first line to make me burst out laughing when I was playing. It just caught me so off guard.
Don't forget to take the clown outfit and put it on for camp outfit. Then disable your Armour and run around as clown everywhere. Plus after every long sleep go back to circus and stock up on clown make up. That's how I played trough whole of act 3 :D

Walking up to the stage yourself for a chance at a perception check and a head start in the fight--lame. Sending up someone for a chance at some funny dialog--eh.

@@betadyne9559 my point is that from everything ive seen you could only get her in your party if you were doing an evil playthrough. I assumed she wasnt actually tadpoled.
@@givemeanaxe She is, and in her case without the protection your part has, is effectively mind controlled into the cult. You have to side with her and kill the grove, then find her at moonrise tower's to recruit her, and in such siding against the absolute. It's really roundabout because, you have to side with her and the Absolute to spare her, but then side against the absolute to recruit her Also killing the grove makes like, three companions leave, and kills off a story thread that can last the entire game, so it's really not worth it unless you want to be a horrible person, but even then, if you're that kind of person you'd probably kill her or leave her to die anyways.
I think they had to make Minthara interesting because if you side with her you lose so many main characters. I think of all the Mary Sues in the game, she's the most interesting, though once again, she's a Mary Sue whose main "flaw" is anger at being deceived.
Her flaw is that she is trying as hard as she can to fight back the indoctrination she has dealt with growing up as a drow as well as the trauma of being enslaved by the Absolute while still holding true to her own(albeit still aggressive) beliefs. Calling her a Mary Sue just means you blatantly didn’t pay attention to her of her dialogue
