Ok, so another Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix arrived yesterday and, well, I’m sorry to say that it and its predecessor, hotfix 20, don’t seem to have marked an end to the string of little issues that’ve plagued poor Minthara. In fact, this latest update looks to have enacted a change to her romance arc that players are desperately trying to rationalise.
Yep, following the arrival of patch 6 and all of its new stuff – some of which was related to kissing people right on the bonce – it’s been a tough time to be a big stan of the companion I simply refuse to stop referring to as though she’s toothpaste (Larian did it first, to be fair). What’s up this time? Well, they’re all having a Bhaa-d time working out why they’re being rejected by the posh Drow.
Seriously though, hotfix 21, the full notes for which you can find here, seems to have tweaked poor Minthara so that she’ll instantly end it with any Dark Urge character she’s dating if they choose to reject Bhaal and redeem themselves. That said, in a weird twist, at least one person seems to reporting that they can still kiss the companion after she’s straight-up told them in no uncertain terms that she’s done with them, the romance is dead, and there’ll be no bed sharing any more, as you can see in the clip below.
