📋 About This Mod
Allows you to trigger Minthara's act 1 romance scene without having to raid the grove. Instead you need to pass a persuasion check available during your first interaction in act 1 at the goblin camp. The scene can only be triggered once and afterwards... I guess just knock her ** out.
Added this in with minimal changes to the base game files. I just used this mod in my most recent playthrough and it works! I.e. got the scene, knocked her out and she was available to recruit in act 2. I also noticed that the dialogue (in act 2/3) does also reference having slept with Minthara in act 1 and not raiding the grove (knocking her out) which is prettttyy cool.
For best experience just go to Minthara as soon as you reach to the goblin camp.
Known Issues
I won't be able to fix these issues or make additions until the BG3 modding tools have been fixed for patch 8.
- []Sazza blocks the dialogue
- Torturing Liam can blocks the dialogue
