[@ZacharyBelli]

When you go through abuse it quickly becomes normal especially because it’s usually your family and not everyone cuts off their family, most just keep it em arms length and try to be their selves.

[@myheartismadeofstars]

See now I'm imagining a Drow house that actually raised their children with love and support. They are willing to do whatever it takes to keep their family alive, so they aren't necessarily against Drow culture (and not likely to be murdered to death or drider'd by Lolth) but basically they are super loyal to each other, even the males are treated with a degree of respect rare in Drow society. Just a family of "Even Evil has loved ones"

[@Ramschat]

Some Drow are like this, often they worship Ellistraee

[@goobersunshine3864]

​@@Ramschatbut none of those are house nobles. The ones who worship her are usually either commoners or escapees who renounce their house.

[@myheartismadeofstars]

@@Ramschat hilariously I imagined Ellistraee worshippers too! But I worried about the family getting caught because I know that nobles are pretty rigorously tested for their loyalty... Though that could be interesting 🤔 maybe they have loyalty to each other BECAUSE they all worship her and do everything in their power to pass tests of faith for Lolth, they can only trust each other. The scary thing is that they are so isolated and untrusting of other Drow I'd be concerned about a certain degree of incest...

I'm curious, this queen always speaks disparagingly of men with a tinge of disgust regardless of their race , yet she is insanely loyal and loving to my "HUMAN" Urge/Tav/corrupted Gale. She calls them exquisite and beautiful and says she loves them, trusts and cares for them, here are some of her dialogs with your companions about your relationship: Shadowheart: Any doubts about falling for a foe, Minthara? Or does that just add spice to things? Minthara: I do not fall for my foes. I vanquish them. Minthara: I cannot love who I do not trust, with either my heart or my body. I am fortunate to have found someone worthy. Gale: I'm glad to know you have a softer side, Minthara. I was beginning to think you rather heartless. Minthara: Loving another is not soft, wizard. It is one of the hardest things a person can do. So you admit you've found love! How delightful - I'm happy for you both. She says in the epilogue that they "both" need to create a house that bears "YOUR" name, a house that will be feared and trembled at its mention, says that you will be a "BEAUTIFUL" king. I'm curious she is so reverent and loving towards you, but how would she react if she had half-drow children with you? Would she treat them the way she treats you or not.

Its probably a case of making the characters playersexual to avoid people screwing themselves out of the character they want to romance due to choosing the wrong gender

[@MasterRaven0707]

@pafunciobatista8244 I guess you're right, the developers just made romance characters available to players no matter what gender or race they chose, so that no player would be left out if they chose the wrong race or gender, so that all players would be satisfied. As for why Mintara is so fond of you if you're a man, it's because your worthiness, beliefs and goals outweigh your weakness of being a man, you've become more than just a man who can be manipulated, used and discarded. You've become her soul mate, someone she can fully open up to and trust with her heart and life. She has grown up and lived her whole life in an atmosphere of fear and paranoia where you can't trust anyone, where anyone can betray you, frame you and kill you, her behavior is partly a defense mechanism so that no one can get close to her and take advantage of her weakness. But "YOU", you came to her, you saved her and freed her, no one else would have done it, because in the eyes of those "OTHERS" she was a "MONSTER" it was by this act that you earned her loyalty, adoration and love, she realized that you are the only one person to whom she can fully open up.

I do kind of wish that the game was compelled to tell us WHICH Baenre birthed Minthara. Was she Quenthel's actual daughter? Gromph's? There's a fair number of Baenres, and even more people under the umbrella of that House, without being THAT blood-related to their leaders, so I wonder who her parents were, qnd how this got her to where she was, as a Paladin of Lolth, that she was then taken into the Cult of the Absolute? I haven't finished a run wirh her; when I started, that wasn't an option for a benevolent play through, so maybe it's all covered, but since I don't know, I do wonder.

[@LyricalDisparity]

Ignoring the grove would allow you to recruit her back then. However, you could not kill Dror and Gut had to be handled away from prying eyes. This allowed you to recruit Karlach, Minthara, and Wyll at the cost of the Tieflings. After all, you ignored the Grove, it’s not horrible in any aspect.

[@ludovicum]

She was ambused in the underdark, and infected with an illicid worm, being under control of the absolute. She tells you wen you save her in act 2 in the camp.

This takes place in 1480 or 1490 (don't remember which) So I'd think she'd be the daughter of the current matron mother.

[@TwoEagles121]

Ok so I just did the research. Bg3 takes place at 1492, yvonnel the eternal was reborn through gromphs daughter in 1484. Quenthel beanre, at the time bg3 takes place, is the current matron mother. The bg3 wiki said minthara was a house matron, so she must have branched off of the main house to create a smaller one of her own. She could be one of the younger daughters of yvonnel the eternal. The biggest hang up is that only priestesses can become matron mothers and minthara is a paladin.

So, there's a lot of Drizzt books, which extends the timeline quite a bit, but they start in 1297 DR and run aaaaaaall the way to 1488 DR (for now). The events of Baldurs Gate 3 take place in 1492, so a good 4 years after 'Boundless'.

I didn’t realize until play through 2 now that minthara was a leader in the gobo camp after killing her. Looks like I don’t get her as a companion again. Which is okay I’m a shadow heart simp anyways.

This is literally the first time I've seen Background prompted dialogue wtf

[@TheEnder515]

Wait, wait; she's from House Baenré?! Yikes! The trouble they gave Drizzt before he left Menzobarrenzen alone is enough to keep them in my memory for the rest of time.

[@DarksideGmss0513]

Yeah she's also related to Jarlaxle

[@Azrael713]

Every video with mod Shadowheart man. Fuck i love the internet.

[@Kevinx6]

Bold of her to assume you're not a Baenre

[@Hollowbarista]

Oh she is of house Baenre wow! How she feeling about Yvonnel the II?

[@MrJohnnyDanja]

Oh shit she’s from THAT family? Well that makes a lot of sense….😂

I want that hat! It's a very fine hat.

I love how the crew calls out Dockside as being busted (which it is), but looks at Strix' Serenade, which basically reads "Pay blue: counter target Dockside or One Ring", as well as any other busted creature or artefact, and then basically calls it useless 😅

I love how the dialogue is written, they manage to explain the details to new players who have never even heard of the Drow, but still make it sound like like it's two nobles talking about their daily lives
