Baldur’s Gate 3 players say that the Minthara romance is broken, even after the latest patch, making it so the relationship can end for seemingly no reason whatsoever. In other words, it makes it so you massacred a camp full of tieflings for nothing, as everyone’s favourite drow wants nothing to do with players anymore.

The bug appears to kick in during Act 3, with one player documenting that the relationship came to an end as soon as Minthara declared her love for their character. After that conversation, they say that all romance-specific dialogue options disappeared, essentially making them single without warning.

This isn’t the only issue players are running into. Others say that Minthara is acting like they cheated on her when they didn’t, which also disrupts the romance.

Even if you can make things work until the end of the game, players are finding that a lot of the content they’d expect from a romance simply isn’t there. This isn’t too surprising, given that she’s one of only two non-origin characters who can be romanced. The other is Halsin, who also doesn’t have a whole lot of content of his own. The caveat here is that you can partner up with him while you’re with someone else, as long as they’re cool with it. Minthara absolutely will not share you, and frankly, I’d be too scared to ask.

A recent datamine revealed that the next patch might add more kissing animations. Hopefully, this means Minthara romancers will get something to keep them going too.

Patch 4 seems to have done little to alleviate this. While the patch notes ominously state that “kissing Minthara can now sometimes have an additional ramification,” whatever that means, it’s certainly not the additional content fans were hoping for.

The whole ordeal has left Minthara romancers feeling slighted. You have to sacrifice a whole lot to have her in your party in the first place, since you have to hand over the location of the refugee camp to the Goblins. This will result in them raiding it in the name of the Absolute, slaughtering anyone in their path. Which, uh, includes a lot of refugees. And children. Child refugees. It’s brutal stuff. And now, you don’t even get the drow-smooching opportunities to make up for it, tragic stuff.

Still, patches have added more content to the other romances, so not all hope is lost yet. With any luck, the Minthara path will be fleshed out further down the line, giving us a better reward for ignoring our moral compass entirely. I mean, just look at her. Sorry, tieflings. I hope you understand.
