Okay, so one other Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix arrived yesterday and, effectively, I’m sorry to say that it and its predecessor, hotfix 20, don’t appear to have marked an finish to the string of little points that’ve plagued poor Minthara. In truth, this newest replace appears to be like to have enacted a change to her romance arc that gamers are desperately attempting to rationalise.
Yep, following the arrival of patch 6 and all of its new stuff – a few of which was associated to kissing folks proper on the bonce – it’s been a troublesome time to be an enormous stan of the companion I merely refuse to cease referring to as if she’s toothpaste (Larian did it first, to be honest). What’s up this time? Nicely, they’re all having a Bhaa-d time understanding why they’re being rejected by the luxury Drow.
Critically although, hotfix 21, the complete notes for which you could find right here, appears to have tweaked poor Minthara in order that she’ll immediately finish it with any Darkish Urge character she’s relationship in the event that they select to reject Bhaal and redeem themselves. That mentioned, in a bizarre twist, no less than one particular person appears to reporting that they will nonetheless kiss the companion after she’s straight-up instructed them in no unsure phrases that she’s executed with them, the romance is useless, and there’ll be no mattress sharing any extra, as you possibly can see within the clip under.
“You rejected glory, and I reject you.” Oof, inform me how you actually really feel, Minty. That, mockingly is strictly what the change has made scores of Darkish Urgers take to BG3’s subreddit to do, with the large subject being litigated out being this – is the change out of character for Minthara, or might even presumably be the fixing of a bug that was stopping her from following by means of on what’ve all the time been her true emotions?
There are threads on either side, and you’ll inform individuals are severe as a result of somebody’s determined it’s mandatory to repeat and paste the outline of Bhaal from the D&D wiki into theirs. The crux of the problem appears to be whether or not – as she appears to recommend in her little speech – the thought of pursuing energy means a lot to Minty that she’d be keen to miss the entire stuff that might cease somebody from eager to aspect with Bhaal and possibly be a little bit of hypocrite.
Who’s proper right here? I don’t know for positive, because it in all probability will depend on your private interpretation of Minthara’s objectives, however it does appear to be Larian would possibly wish to take into account giving these poor redeemed Durges an opportunity to influence her to not go away their sorry bottoms as quickly as they choose the trail of redemption.
In different BG3-related information the sport’s just lately been nominated for a bunch of classes on the BAFTA sport awards.
