Minthara Act 3 Romance Still broken?

[AncientFlames]

Started act 3 got the dialogue with Minthara where you show her you see her as a lover, and I recall something about her saying she will visit you that night, same night though as it's the start of Act 3 you get several scripted events after sleeping. After 3 nights still haven't gotten any romance prompts and I've exhausted her dialogue.

Is it still broken, did the scripted events cause it not to trigger or what? A bit confused.

I can't say with 100% certainty but I'm pretty close to the end of Act III with only Gortash and Raphael left, and I would say yes. There is a little bit of additional dialogue after Orin, but far less than I was expecting. There is no other real connection scene, no kissing, etc.
Dark Urge Drow, all in on Bhaal. Butler makes a passing mention of her as your companion, not by name when asking what the future holds.

Darn it. I’m at basically the same spot (dark urge tav) guess I have to wait till the next hotfix or patch to finish

I'll amend this slightly after fully finishing the DUrge run with my Minthara Bae. It's small, but there is a great scene right before the elder brain if you talk to her; it's basically (from memory)
Tav "This could be our last fight together"
Minthara "If that be so, I'd gladly die at your side" and she pulls you in for a kiss.

She also gets all hot and bothered about you never being more magnificent or whatever. It's pretty great considering that is the only romantic scene with her after the party.

I think her romance is still a bit under-written compared to others, but it is still working. Meaning, yes, it can be initiated even if you did not pursue the grove-slaughter route. Because I think it wasn't that way before patch 5.

Along the way, there doesn't seem to be a way (as with some others) to ask for a kiss, or ask her about how things are going with the relationship. So indeed you might wonder if it is "on" or "off". That promise of a night visit is never fulfilled. Trust me, I tried a lot of LRs after the usual queue was empty and it didn't happen.

I finally got the romance ending with her a few days ago (wasn't sure it would trigger, was wondering the same thing) and I will say, it's very nice ending.


We are going to be heading back to her drow homeland for a visit to dear old Mom. And maybe start a new House of her own. She said we will rebuild the Steel Watch to do this. If there was an option for another dialogue line, I would have suggested maybe we do it a different way, but ... anyway. I also wondered, given how she had constantly been urging me to take control of the brain, she felt about not doing so ... she was surprisingly OK with that.

Just as an aside, personal preference, but I used the only cosmetic mod I ever have to change her face, to look a little bit more like the female drow at Sharess'. She still has the same voice, which has that deep quality to it, still like that.

Same issue. I got hard spammed in Act 3 where it's like Aradin, Jaheira, Astarion, AND the Emperor (THREE TIMES) back to back. No event with Minthara at all despite the dialogue. Makes me wonder if you had her event in Act 1, then it's bugged in Act 3 because it's the same script.

There is a kissing scene, you just failed as a minthara lover.

For romance noobs, you get to kiss her when you meet with gortash at the morphic pool, seconds before triggering the netherstones and elder brain scene.

Just chiming in as of yesterday, I had to set romance flags myself using console command using some instructions some kind soul posted on reddit. I got her dialog to start romance act 2. She was super quiet in act 2 afterward. I went to act 3. I noticed there was still no kissing option. Not much to say. Rushed to drow twins and this allowed me to know my save had huge bug because she didn't respond or care. I reloaded start of act 3. Did console command and thank goodness now she had kissing options, started reacting to drow, etc. She's definitely still bugged as of May 2024 lol. I was about to rage quit because this is my 3rd playthrough after 300 hrs and was hoping minthara would be ok.

Still broken even after patch 7?

Yes, I'm playing in patch 7. And after promising to come at night in act 3, nothing happens

Her romance scene if you burn the grove, be it on steam or the ps5 version, The players character has been doing a random kneel at the start of it since patch 7. And act 3 is very watered down compared to the others, but she's still got the best banter lines with the rest of the party.
