A patch removing some buggy dialogue between Minthara and Dark Urges has saddened some Baldur’s Gate 3 players.
Mithara has always been one of the buggiest companions in Baldur’s Gate 3. When the game initially launched, the only way to get her on your team without committing a series of war crimes involved knocking her out, turning her into a sheep, and then putting her on trial.
Even after Larian made it easier to recruit for those who didn’t want to attack the Grove, Minthara was still the source of some strange bugs. She doesn’t even have her own tent in the camp, and has to share that of Halsin, the guy she put in prison. Embarrassing.
One of these bugs was triggering her “breakup”dialogue for a romance with a player who used Dark Urges and resisted her murderous thoughts. This led many players to joke that not being a powerful serial killer was a red flag for her.

However, the latest Baldur’s Gate 3 patch removed this interaction. So this means that Minthara now only has healthy, normal interactions with Dark Urges, and not everyone is happy.
“But it’s in character! Minthara likes power!!1” byu/BardMessenger24 inBaldursGate3
Some players pointed out that this still fits his character. One comment read: “Minthara loves power, but she also loves autonomy and self-determination. This is why she also doesn’t break up with Dark Urges if he chooses to become Bhaal’s chosen one, because that means she becomes the queen consort of the world he creates. At least, for a while.”
Another player finally said: “I just finished a game with Dark Impulses last week and she gave me the ‘it’s over between us’ dialogue and I was shocked. But then I immediately spoke to him again and the option for, “Can I kiss you?”» was still there. I was confused but I just continued until the end and we remained a couple.”
Ultimately, the removal of the buggy Minthara – Dark Impulses romance in Baldur’s Gate 3 sparks sadness and nostalgia among players, revealing the importance of complex, even imperfect, interactions in the game’s universe.
