A Baldur's Gate 3 bug is cutting off 1,500 lines of evil companion content, but the next patch will bring them back

Baldur's Gate 3 — A close-up screenshot of a Drow character in Baldur's Gate 3.

The second patch for Baldur's Gate 3 is right around the corner, and we already know a lot about what's going to be in it. We've got fixes, tweaks, and justice for Karlach heading our way in the near future, but a recent chat between Larian CEO Swen Vincke and IGN has also revealed that one of our companions is about to get significantly chattier, too. That is, so long as you didn't kill her as soon as you met.

The companion in question is Minthara, the luxuriously evil drow you encounter drawing up war plans for the Absolute in the game's Act 1 goblin camp. If you're anything like me (and around 65% of players) your acquaintance ended there, because she's one of the three leaders you have to murk to help out the tieflings and Druids of Emerald Grove. But for those few, nefarious players who laid waste to the Druids' grove, BG3's second patch is going to end a "very stupid bug" that was preventing the evil companion from delivering "about 1500 lines" of dialogue.
