I for one like her appearance more than Viconia's

I have seen her only briefly so far.
I knocked her out and didn't meet her again, obviously I can't say I have studied her or her expressions.
At first glance, I like her more than Viconia, whom I find rather plain in her BG2 portrait.

There's a huge divergence in how she looks depending on the lightning/expressions, she can switch from fairly pretty, to manish to goblin in like 3 sentences.

Minthara has the same body as other elves. Her face isn't ugly, but some of her animation is very aggressive. However, she has a great voice if you have hybristophilia.



As for the scene on the altar, I see it more as a mix of problems with technology and attempts to bypass censorship. That's why there is more changing positions in this scene than "proper" sex.

This is so cringe. Does she also complain you didn't use proper pronounce?

Swen is a smart guy, he knew well that the girls on the team are bait for male players. In same time male characters are bait for women and gays. The rest of the LGBT stuff is scattered around to please the fanatics, and those who don't like it will just swallow it and move on.

I remember talking with someone on the 'dex about how unattractive all the major female characters were besides Shadowheart (who's very subjective) and the warlock's demon sugar momma thing. Yeah, there may be a load of sexy minor characters that get like two lines, and yeah you can probably make really attractive PCs, but that's not the point.

The entire time in this game you're starring at 5/10 women.... in a video game... a digital product where people can be as attractive as you want...

It's intentional across the industry and we all know it.

Minthara's face is slightly masculine but I'd say it falls just on the right side of the 'handsome woman vs. manface' line. YMMV but I definitely would.

> Her face isn't ugly

Yes it is, you are either blind or female (i.e. unsuited to judge)

Is not. You are blind or just gay?
Dumb troll lmao

You sound like a virgin Mr. Nearly-ten-thousand-posts-in-five years.

Dumb troll who can't even come up with a novel insult, pathetic.

You're lack of energy, virgin.

Minthara's face is slightly masculine but I'd say it falls just on the right side of the 'handsome woman vs. manface' line. YMMV but I definitely would.

And that's the right approach!

Plus, the charm of Mithara is that you can run around the refugee village together and murder everyone in your path. That's what I call a good romance!

Again, the 'Dex continues to stun me in the worst ways. All your talk about "muh traditions" and yet you fucking troglodytes beat off to a 2D sprite and debate the attractiveness of a 2D picture V. A fully rigged 3D model.

You complain about people being obsessed with romances in RPGs and yet here you all are meticulously trying to determine if Minthara has a manjaw.

I guess my point is moot. I want to say we're in the same slump as the Danger-Hairs going on about their boutique fetishes, but really it's 5th Edition. There's not much to say mechanically.

So you answered your own objection. Baldurs Gate 3 is a colorful game with an accessible, not very complex turn-based system, a highly reactive world and romance.

However, not everything is Larian's fault. Remember that it was Wizards that removed the differences between races, it was Wizards that tried to remove the concept of "evil races", it was Wizards that simplified and made more polite what was already too polite and too simple in 2002.

BG3 is on end, not in the beginning.
