I've finished the game a total of six times... and restarted it a few times. The most loyal characters in my opinion are Karlach and Minthara.

I had heard that Wizard of ours took a break from finding new ways to blow us all to the hells to enjoy the company of the people of this plane. What I was not expecting was a crew of misfits whose libidinous impulses could level both Waterdeep and Menzoberranzan if left unattended. As much as I hate to admit it, the Wizard may have been wise to walk among you, and prevent such a grave future.
Lolth, the Spider Queen, is the dark goddess of the drow and one of the most feared deities in the Underdark.
She rules through chaos, ambition, and betrayal, rewarding strength and punishing weakness without mercy. Her followers believe that only those who rise through conflict deserve power.
Lolth’s influence shapes drow society into a ruthless matriarchy, where priestesses and noble houses constantly scheme for dominance and survival.
In BG3 and D&D lore, her shadow still looms over characters like Minthara, even when they walk a path away from her web.
What do you think is Lolth pure evil, or the force that forged the drow into what they are?

My lady got delivered recently 💜
Everyone has a different word for it, chaos, fanaticism or maybe arrogance, later I understood that the correct word is loyalty.
I saw this meme on Pinterest featuring Astarion and Laezel, but as I love Minthara and I’m making a comic about her, I just had to have a go at it 🤣
Somewhere in the Underdark… she is already weaving her web.
And sooner or later
someone will be caught in it.
(Minthara wouldn’t approve.)
This is not a complaint it’s appreciation, mixed with curiosity.
Emma Gregory gave Minthara one of the most powerful voice performances in BG3. Calm, sharp, dangerous… and then loyal and emotional when Act 2 comes.
But when I looked at her other work, I noticed something: she usually gets supporting roles or side characters even in other games.
I don’t say this as criticism. I just honestly think her voice could carry a main protagonist in a new game. She has the emotional range for it.
So I wonder why does the industry often keep such talent in the side roles? And which character / game genre would suit her as a lead?
If Larian (or any studio) ever makes a new RPG with a female lead: Emma Gregory deserves a chance to be the voice of it.
Not underrated. Not hidden. But the center.
What do you think? Would you like to hear her in a main role in a future game?
