Baldur’s Gate 3Patch 7 has added so much that players could be forgiven for thinking they should be paying for the content given the modern market, but miraculously aren’t. Mod support and the new package of evil endings take the attention of most players, as they rightfully should, but there are also a whole lot of new pieces of dialogue lovingly added by Larian Studios. Despite the weight of this new patch, the Belgium-based studio has not forgotten the little details, and these details show why the developer has become a darling industry among fans.
It probably helps that the talented cast of Baldur’s Gate 3 Love playing their characters and are comfortable jumping back into the role. Neil Newbon (Astarion’s VA) and Samantha Béart (Karlach’s VA), in particular, have been part of several television shows. Dungeons & Dragons Games in which they play very BG3 letters, and it shows that If Larian calls the workshop to record more lines, they tend to be ready for it. A character that gets some special treatment, in terms of added dialogue and depth, in the new patch is Minthara, everyone’s favorite Drove.
BG3 patch 7 dialogue proves Minthara has emotional depth
She’s not just a cold-blooded killer
Minthara is not the best member of Tav’s crew. She quite accurately represents the attitude of many in the press DNDs world, the Forgotten Realms, but does it in a strangely charming way That many have fallen in love with. Thanks to her appeal, she was eventually made recruitable even in a good game, despite originally being made to be a companion for a more evil Tav or Durge. This does not mean that Myntra himself is evil. Dalkey Discovered on YouTube a rare and lovely interaction between Minthara and Gale, which is one of the least expected things Larian could have added.
If players use Gale as their avatar and make it all the way to the Withers party at the end of the game, they can talk to Minthara, who will refer to Gale as “Wizard.” She always did this, and it used to show her contempt for Gale, but she reveals that this is not the case. She says, in a long-winded, poetic and rather complimentary way, That Gale is an emotional person she knows well, which is why she enjoys him so much. She has no contempt for him. In fact, she enjoyed his company.

after that, Gale is able to give the usually cold Drove a hug, which she gladly accepts in a heart-warming animation.. Of course, she returns to the Minthara everyone loves by stating that if he tells anyone about her love for him, she will clip Tara, Gale’s trisium friend’s wings. She doesn’t mean anything by it, admits that Gale is terrible with secrets and will tell everyone anyway, but she will leave in the morning and not be around the possible crush she might end up getting.
Minthara actually likes Tav’s party
Although she rarely admits it
In this dialogue, she admits that she enjoys spending time with the others in the group and that Wither’s party ends too soon for her liking. She even says that she would like to meet Gale again and is quite open about her positive feelings towards the wizard. He gets complimented on his dashing beard too, which is not something most would expect Minthara to praise, as the elves in DND Usually cannot grow any form of facial hair.
Minthara is quite secretive about how loving she is. She says that she wouldn’t want the others to know that she likes Gale, and It takes Witter’s party to admit this, a full six months after the main story ended.. Interestingly, this interaction only takes place if Gale has not romanced Minthara, showing that the feelings are purely platonic. It shows how much the journey has softened Minthara from her beginning as a massacring servant of the Absolute to a genuine hero who can make friends, in good ends, at least.
Baldur’s Gate 3Patch 7 helped add depth that didn’t necessarily need to be there But has certainly improved the game’s quality as a whole. Although very few will ever see this interaction, since it’s hard enough to get to Wither’s party, let alone do it with Gale, it still exists to give Minthara more to her character. It fills out her arc and ends it stronger as someone who came to be more good after rejecting the cruel ways of both her people (the old-sworn Drove) and the Absolute.
