      Hardly. It's a video game so the morals in it don't matter, but she slaughters entire families, FAMILIES! Father's, mother's, children or so it's assumed. She was going to sacrifice her, I don't know if you can actually fail saving Yenna, but maybe she can die too. And y'all are crying over a, all be it cute, cat.
      Come on guys....

    My God, Minthara is so underrated. Whenever she opens up like this and her tone and expression turn sad, it immediately makes me tear up. She's so blatantly evil, yet so self-aware that it makes me question just how evil she really is. Truly a tragedy of her upbringing, but deep down she's absolutely stunning, captivating even....in an oddly perplexing way. Her thoughts and emotions are full of juxtapositions in a way, constantly switching between or being simultaneously evil and good, insane and sane, unjust and just enz. The writers and voice actress deserve more praise honestly, they did so well showing such emotions in an otherwise very stoic character.

  • @alicelufenia3648

    As a Minthara romancer it makes me so sad that of all of Orin's potential victims the one she ends up hurting the most is Minthara, in her clutches again like she was before.
    When I reached this point and she was taken I RUSHED to Orin as fast as I could figure out; from the murder victims to finding the tribunal, to turning on Sarevok (in a fight I thought I couldn't win at first, but then I did), to bee-lining for the temple of Bhaal without a long rest, in case Orin would kill her victim before we got there. I went in knowing nothing about her fight (hadn't found Volo or any other hints toward how to fight Orin yet) and that was a BITCH of a fight, but we pulled it off somehow (turns out Gale is REALLY FUCKING GOOD as a lvl 12 Wizard burning every spell slot and spamming lvl 5 and 6 scrolls left and right)
    My current character is a Tav, but I plan to replay as her, re-imagined as a Durge, which nicely fills in the few holes in her backstory I couldn't, and would give me the Durge exclusive lines to boot. I can totally picture her struggling with the urge in act 1, that leading her into Minthara's arms and an unexpected companion, to spending all of act 2 resisting in defiance of her actions in act 1, to learning the truth, restoring her oath that she will master herself and protect the love of her life... only for her to immediately be taken by the worst person on Toril she could be at the mercy of again, leading her on a roaring rampage to the temple, half-memories leading the way, and ultimately claiming that power with the promise she had made to Minthara to protect her empowering her all the way.
    Damn, Minthara's romance has no business being this good for how buggy and sparse it is, but it makes me want to go through it not once but twice, so they must have done something right.

      She is an oddly sympathetic character if you bother to befriend her and take her in as a companion, (or even romanced partner, like I did). Done both my playthroughs with her as a companion because she has more depth than some of the other companions. She is still insane in other regards, but enjoyable nonetheless.

      Viconia follows Shar no matter what you do in BG2. Shar is almost entirely responsible for her undoing of any progress Gorions Ward made with her. Sarevok is a Bhaalspawn. Him returning to Bhaal side was always going to happen because he was ultimately afraid of death and if you didn't see that in BG2 you're naive. It's only the DUrge that gets a chance because of Jergals intervention.

      Minthara was abused and "brainwashed" by Orin before getting to the goblin camp. She adored Orin, though, so they are elements of cults indoctrination to her character.
      Orin only saw Minthara as her new toy.
      Minthara is also growing. If you save her from prison, it's clear that the player character is the first one that believes in her capacity to do good. Albeit, old habits die hard.

Shadowheart is practically a clean slate with the whole memory wiping though, so there could be some truth to what you said.

    Since Orin only takes a non romanced out of the possible 4 and you can trigger it yourself, I narrow it down to Halsin, Minthara or the kid. I’m torn, Minthara so that Halsin might get his space back in camp. Halsin because he’s been in camp since he freed nature boy. To let the kid take it it means you have to be in a romance with Minthara or “grin and bear it” at let Halsin do his thang which his “poly” lifestyle includes “morph”.

    Yet another example to show how disappointingly redundant Halsin has become in act 3. If Tav didn't end up siding with the goblins & end up destroying the grove, Tav & Halsin would've gone through thick & thin by that point, risking their necks for each other for 2 whole acts, & this is all Halsin has got to say after getting rescued?? He'd have been the OLDEST companion in the group in Minthara is absent, sagely enough to be made an archdruid, yet 'thank goodness you came for me & i'm sick of this place, let's go' is all he has to say, even when he ain't the quiet brooding type to begin with??
    Damn, i'd never side with the goblins so i'd never end up getting Halsin killed, but if i were to go on yet another playthrough, i'd be damn tempted to just tell him to go our separate ways. People really ain't kidding when they said Halsin's writing got worse as the game progresses further.
