Minthy and the Patch 7 Endings

I watched Minthara's assorted fates in the evil endings today, and had some thoughts.

Of all the companions, Minthy is the most on board with the player character controlling the Netherbrain and the Dark Urge embracing Bhaal. She pushes a romanced player quite insistently to make those decisions. Never once does she consider that she, too, would be subject to the consequences of that choice. Her surprise and heartbreak when her partner murders/enthralls her is genuine.

And on one hand, yeah, you have the "'I never thought the leopards would eat my face!' says person who voted for the 'leopards eating people's faces party" effect. But I think it is clear that the reason for her surprise is that she did genuinely believe in the player character and their love for her. The woman from Backstab City thought, "this time, it's different." She would not betray you, her love - the thought that this may not be reciprocal never crosses her mind. Once again, her faith is misplaced.

And she's not necessarily safe in the scenario where the player character controls the brain and does not choose to immediately enthrall her. Even healthy relationships have fights. Have you ever wished you could make someone see things your way? The player character can, now. She said, "no?" Well, what if the player character wanted her to say "yes?" They can make her, all it takes is a thought. If they do it subtly enough, she may not even notice.

She's in a situation that's even worse than a spawn player character with Ascended Astarion - at least a spawn still has their own thoughts. Minthara's life - more than her life, her freedom, her mind, her self - all rests on the benevolence of her partner (a person who betrayed and enslaved all their other traveling companions). And the worst thing is, she doesn't seem to realize this.

Really, for such a cynical character, she wants to believe in love so badly it makes her stupid.

The difference between 2014 and 2019 is insane in my mind and the jump from 2019 to 2024 both feels like it was yesterday and also like it was a different universe
