Why do Minthara have a male face?
Transitioned male? After that bartender in Hogwarts Legacy I guess these type of characters gonna appear more huh. Woke society and all.

I mean, guys, seriously. Have a look at this: https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Baldurs-Gate-3-Minthara-Romance1.jpg

You really think what we have now is better than how Minthara used to look before patch? She used to look much better from all senses, now she looks like she wanted to cheat-enter the female Olympic competition whilst being male/transitioned.

You can't possibly think she look better now... can you?

Remarkably, it's totally true - Minthara DOES have a male face. It is actually one of the drow male faces from the character creator, and I have seen male NPCs in game (including non-drow) with this exact face.

Here's an example of a male PC with this face:
https://i.imgur.com/h679RbX.jpg

I've had concerns about Minthara before - her deep masculine voice was off-putting, and her face, though regular, had this certain ungraceful quality which stopped it from being "beautiful". An uncanny valley effect of some sort. Now it seems her face is actually a male face. Combined with her voice, this makes her so man-like that even Karlach seems more feminine by comparison.

I am not sure if it's a deliberate decision by Larian, but after all this other ♥♥♥♥ they've pulled I wouldn't put it past them to actually try passing off a masculine character as a "female". Challenging gender boundaries or whatever.

Bottom line, this screwed-up agenda is ruining a great game. I remember the BG2/TOB romance with Viconia: she had a very strong personality, but at the same time possessed actual feminine beauty, and her voice actress was one of the greatest voice actresses of all times, Grey DeLisle, famous for playing alluring, seductive, yet strong and passionate characters (like Azula from Avatar). Going from Viconia to Minthara is an incredible step back and disappointment for all us drow-lovers.

Even more, since Shadowheart's romance is for some reason only for good playthroughs (she's a cleric of Shar FFS! why does she only fall for the good guys?), that means those of us playing evil have either the monstrous and creepy Laezel (I still shudder remembering the sex scene with her, she was so ugly naked I felt revulsion) or the man-like Minthara with the deep voice and the male face. Why couldn't they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ give us a pretty girl to romance? Meanwhile the gays and the girls get hunks like Halsin, Astarion and Gale, all conventionally handsome, non-monstrous and full-on male. It's ridiculous.

Stupid
yeah thats a stretch.

me asking if someone is blind, or stating it in the manner I did refers to what is called "an observation"

indirectly referring to how minthara being a feminine woman is very obvious. so no its not an insult unless you go out of your way to take it as one

secondly saying someone needs to resolve some issues if they genuinely see minthara as a man, and as hideous and not like a woman, or like a rabid dog, was referring to the very likely nature of their standards being really really bad.

so again not an insult unless you take it as one, (which btw that second one was a hypothetical if you actually payed attention to what you read but whatever)

meanwhile you have been doing nothing but screaming stupid at me over and over this entire time in a very unfriendly and rather rude way, so reported :) hope you have a nice day random person who needs to fix whatever issues are causing them to act this wayyy!!!! tooodalooooo~
Hey stupid, I got the definition of insult just for you : "in·sult
verb
/inˈsəlt/
speak to or treat with disrespect or scornful abuse.
a disrespectful or scornfully abusive remark or action."

You never "asked" if he was blind, you keep trying to twist this in your favor. remember stupid, you can always check your comment to see what you actually said.

telling someone you dont know they need to resolve "issues" and calling them "blind" is disrespectful.

You don't have to attack someone for not finding a certain companion attractive.

Pls don't take this post as an attack to you btw.
i havent attacked anyone, ive only pointed out how she doesnt look like a "rabid dog" and "a man pretending to be a woman" as others are stating.

now im only replying to someone being super tilted that I have an extremely reasonable and mature viewpoint on a woman in a game, and not an overly hateful and rude one lol
Bro do you even know what quotation marks mean in the way your using them?

You're not even quoting yourself stupid everyone can see what you actually said.

"I have an extremely reasonable and mature viewpoint on a woman in a game, and not an overly hateful and rude one lol" LOL alright alright, nice bait. You got me.


You're trolling... Right?... Right????

Now get back under the bridge with the Transphobia, troll. Thankfully, these threads weed out the mentally immature.
Not only hairstyle change, they definitely changed jawline as well. But hey, there was a guy who advised ophtalmology, maybe you need to contact him, hmm?
Nice jab matey, despite being factually wrong your still holding it together like you've discovered bulletproof evidence, but hey, maybe the next weirdly angled low quality image you rustle up will be the one to prove you right.

You'd be suprised how much hairstyle can change your face, there's a reason why some hairstyles fit with certain faces (oval, pear, round etc). This particular hairstyle hides most of her jaw, which is why you think she has different jaw lol. And i've played EA, the only thing they changed on Minthy is her hair.

She went thru hair changes like 3 times if you google her.

And this mod has her old looks. As you'll see, same exact face.

Edit, to add: lightning and certain camera angles can make a face look a tad bit different as well.

I'm pretty sure Minthara in EA also had make up on her eyes to accentuate them, but in release she washed it away.

And also, she looks like Tom Holland to me, for some reason.

Tom Holland LMAO. Oh, this took me out.

She does have eyeshadow thou, but, yeah she had it darker before. Eyeliner remained.

Maybe you only hang out with trans women.

Bro where can I go where it's genuinely possible to only hang out with trans women and have them be the only woman I've seen


That's a whole ass statistical anomaly lmao

That's uh, generally how it goes. I haven't had any encounters with her beyond murdering her so I had to look up her face. Y'all really don't actually look at woman irl? Like genuinely look at their faces?

It's almost like humans don't have a small amount of options for face shapes, but instead vary in vast numbers

Why even type a comment if you haven't even had her in your party?

Because I'm gonna have her in my evil playthrough party and I've heard she's pretty cool. Also it's funny to put my opinions in places where people are a weeeee bit small minded

You are the small minded one. You shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about.

♥♥♥♥ you're right! I totally couldn't just Google an image of her, or call back to her voice lines the multiple times I killed her, I totally know nothing about her. She's the 16 foot tall demigod right? /s

I don't care what you know about her. It's your comments are that are braindead and useless and you shouldn't have written them.

It's obvious to anyone who has played with her in their party that she has a manly face.
maybe its best you lay off the hentai and porn for a while, it seems to be fermenting some unsettling opinions about woman in you champ, have you tried going outside and observing the world and people around you? fresh air can do wonders for your mental health.

Quite honestly, through photos of her from multiple angles. She just looks like generic strong evil woman to me who uses brute force. The hair shape probably helps with it, but then again I interact with women daily so I guess I have an extra smidge of knowledge


Though tbf it ain't entirely fair, human faces vary hella. I suppose you view it as masculine due to being sharp, bold, and generalized angry expression. And you view that as masculine due to your upbringing and absorption of knowledge
SpaceCadetLB Oct 10, 2023 @ 4:36pm 
I don't think so, I think she's just a fairly masculine female character.
I'm not saying Larian wouldn't put a transgender char in game, what I don't believe is that they would stay silent on the subject and not try to cash in on it in social awareness credit.

Either way, she's a great character.

Not to mention that they would have either roped it into her story through subtle cues with special dialogue, or just straight up given her a penis

they made Viconia, who's a sex symbol into some fugly hag, so why wouldn't they do the same to Minthara? lol

She's a sex symbol? I just read her wiki and only saw that she got forced into being a pleasure slave, who then manipulated the caravan into going where she wanted

It also makes sense why she got wrinkles. Near two centuries old, full of stress, and most likely didn't take care of herself lmao
