Baldur’s Gate 3 players ask Larian Studios to make changes to a mining
Some Baldur’s Gate 3 players ask Larian Studios to make changes to the mining tower, claiming that Paladin Dron is the most low -supported satellite in the game for no good reasons. Mintara was a popular romantic option in Baldur’s Gate 3 even at the time of early access to the game, but its involvement has always been a very expensive task.
The fastest way to add a mining to a group is to help the goblins destroy an emerald grove in the first act. This option is considered comically evil, so many players eventually lose the only drow companion game. When you completely ignore the quest, it can be recruited in the second act, but at the same time it receives less XP and almost the same disadvantages as when raid on a refugee camp, first of all, the player will have to skim, Luta and merchants. The looting of the grove is also associated with the loss of three other companions, and ignoring the quest line will lead to the loss of Halsin.
Dissatisfied with such a state of affairs, part of the fandom began to demand "Justice for Mintara". A recent message to Reddit with a request to make changes to the character in less than a day gained 6k "Likes", and also caused many additional requests for Larian to make a paladin more light for recruitment. Some players believe that it does not make sense to tie a mining to an evil game, since she herself is not a frankly immoral character, while others say that the punishment for refusing to kill her and other inhabitants of the goblin camp in Baldur’s Gate 3 is simply too large to endure it.
In the first patch, a number of corrections were made to the triggers of dialogs and scenes of the mining of the Mintara, but without changing the main mechanics of its recruitment. The possibility that Larian will really make it accessible for hiring and at the same time save the emerald grove, it seems a few dubious. Although such a step, of course, could be taken taking into account the features of history, since its moral commitment really has its own nuances, a reward for being evil is already quite small.
In addition, playing in the role of a frankly immoral adventurer, players are forced to miss tens of hours of content. Permission to hire to immature characters to hire, thus, will exacerbate the imbalance between good and evil passages, which is unlikely to force Larian to take such a step in the future.
