@@MoonDhunt Well you do get a lot of unique Gith and Drow dialogue to be the kind of person born in those societies. Just every main character is acting different than usual because they’re in a fight for survival. Normally, nobody except maybe Wyll and Karlach would have given anyone a second glance.
I roleplayed an enlightened Drow cleric of Lolth that attempt to please Lolth directly rather than engage with the church. I did my absolute best to spread as much chaos as I possibly could regardless of morality.
@@MetastaticMaladies Lolth is surprisingly forgiving if you are entertaining enough. She also adores paradoxes. There's a Drow heretic by the name of Drizzt who hated her his whole life and did more damage to her church than literally anyone else, but Lolth adores him. Bails him out of trouble, showers him in gifts and even once smooched him.
For those curious, a jaluk is a word for a male drow. And they are treated very similar to slaves, if not worse in drow society. Edit: It’s been a while since I checked up on this and I wasn’t expecting to get this many likes, thanks guys! Also I really didn’t mean for this to get so out of hand, I just wanted to share some neat Drow lore I learned.
Drow society is awesome, I wish Minthara would treat male drow characters like they treat them in the Underdark. It was the whole reason I romanced her, but she turns out to be a vulnerable little lady, too bad.
She's kinda right tho, in a world you could be born to slavery in the sewers and be sold to perform only Gods know what vile activities, she had a pretty good upbringing, she even learned how to stand up for herself and survive
This dialogue is why I like Minthara. She has seen the highest of privilages and the lowest of the low. So when she talks with you she can say "On the other hand" even if you are at your worst.
Doesn't that happen if you choose any elf subrace? Because my first character was a half-elf that wasn't of drow lineage and he still resisted Gut's potion
Dark elves are definitely built different. The way she talks about it, I think she's WAY less traumatized than a human or a light elf would be by the same upbringing.
IRL some people with traumatic childhood talk about it like it's normal. You'll be telling them a funny anectote from your childhood and they'll respond by telling you about abuse they survived like it's the same thing.
@@averynelson1186 there's actually nothing all that special about most drow. They're horrifically evil usually by necessity (because everyone else is also the same) so no any species under lolth would look much the same.
Love how their society is so warped that she is fully aware of how good she had it over most citizens and slave of her city, and so something as small as an assassination attempt really just shows how much you've got it made.
Harry Potter was saved by his mothers' love though, and Matron Banre is physically incapable of love at all, in any form. Crusty old bitch probably had to be bullied into giving her own children milk.
I mean... she didn't exactly join voluntarily, but maybe she went to investigate the Absolute in the first place because she needed a break from her family xD
See now I'm imagining a Drow house that actually raised their children with love and support. They are willing to do whatever it takes to keep their family alive, so they aren't necessarily against Drow culture (and not likely to be murdered to death or drider'd by Lolth) but basically they are super loyal to each other, even the males are treated with a degree of respect rare in Drow society. Just a family of "Even Evil has loved ones"
@@Ramschat hilariously I imagined Ellistraee worshippers too! But I worried about the family getting caught because I know that nobles are pretty rigorously tested for their loyalty... Though that could be interesting 🤔 maybe they have loyalty to each other BECAUSE they all worship her and do everything in their power to pass tests of faith for Lolth, they can only trust each other. The scary thing is that they are so isolated and untrusting of other Drow I'd be concerned about a certain degree of incest... (Unless they exclusively breed with slaves, who for the sake of this are slaves in name only)
God I love Minthara. Every time she speaks in just enraptured by what she has to say and her delivery. I could ask her questions all day and never get bored
I do kind of wish that the game was compelled to tell us WHICH Baenre birthed Minthara. Was she Quenthel's actual daughter? Gromph's? There's a fair number of Baenres, and even more people under the umbrella of that House, without being THAT blood-related to their leaders, so I wonder who her parents were, qnd how this got her to where she was, as a Paladin of Lolth, that she was then taken into the Cult of the Absolute? I haven't finished a run wirh her; when I started, that wasn't an option for a benevolent play through, so maybe it's all covered, but since I don't know, I do wonder.
Ignoring the grove would allow you to recruit her back then. However, you could not kill Dror and Gut had to be handled away from prying eyes. This allowed you to recruit Karlach, Minthara, and Wyll at the cost of the Tieflings. After all, you ignored the Grove, it’s not horrible in any aspect.
She was ambused in the underdark, and infected with an illicid worm, being under control of the absolute. She tells you wen you save her in act 2 in the camp.
Well, she's right Being assasinated is the most generic desth of drow nobles And the main competition of houses Main rule If no one can prove that you killed other noble Even if people know you hate him and probably it was you They will just respect you for skill
Yes their culture is wild and they know that if they were the target they would have been dead, they actually dont hate the enemy for doing so. I love Drow
I recall how in one of the Legend of Drizzt books they mention that a Drow was stabbed to death while he was sleeping, they said it had been a "death by natural cause" because "it's natural to die after being stabbed". 😂 It's just another day for them.
I'm curious, this queen always speaks disparagingly of men with a tinge of disgust regardless of their race , yet she is insanely loyal and loving to my "HUMAN" Urge/Tav/corrupted Gale. She calls them exquisite and beautiful and says she loves them, trusts and cares for them, here are some of her dialogs with your companions about your relationship: Shadowheart: Any doubts about falling for a foe, Minthara? Or does that just add spice to things? Minthara: I do not fall for my foes. I vanquish them. Minthara: I cannot love who I do not trust, with either my heart or my body. I am fortunate to have found someone worthy. Gale: I'm glad to know you have a softer side, Minthara. I was beginning to think you rather heartless. Minthara: Loving another is not soft, wizard. It is one of the hardest things a person can do. So you admit you've found love! How delightful - I'm happy for you both. She says in the epilogue that they "both" need to create a house that bears "YOUR" name, a house that will be feared and trembled at its mention, says that you will be a "BEAUTIFUL" king. I'm curious she is so reverent and loving towards you, but how would she react if she had half-drow children with you? Would she treat them the way she treats you or not.
Its probably a case of making the characters playersexual to avoid people screwing themselves out of the character they want to romance due to choosing the wrong gender
@pafunciobatista8244 I guess you're right, the developers just made romance characters available to players no matter what gender or race they chose, so that no player would be left out if they chose the wrong race or gender, so that all players would be satisfied. As for why Mintara is so fond of you if you're a man, it's because your worthiness, beliefs and goals outweigh your weakness of being a man, you've become more than just a man who can be manipulated, used and discarded. You've become her soul mate, someone she can fully open up to and trust with her heart and life. She has grown up and lived her whole life in an atmosphere of fear and paranoia where you can't trust anyone, where anyone can betray you, frame you and kill you, her behavior is partly a defense mechanism so that no one can get close to her and take advantage of her weakness. But "YOU", you came to her, you saved her and freed her, no one else would have done it, because in the eyes of those "OTHERS" she was a "MONSTER" it was by this act that you earned her loyalty, adoration and love, she realized that you are the only one person to whom she can fully open up.
@@MasterRaven0707 Yeah, Minthara is such a wonderfully nuanced character it almost makes massacring the grove worth it just to experience her romance to the fullest
BG3 is what got me into dnd and i still have lots to learn... but it also made me love drows A LOT, i find Minthara to be such an interesting character.
I’ve played as a noble lolthsworn drow once. Masmyr Baenre, he’d be Mintharas cousin probably. Never got this conversation because he killed her when he discovered she’d abandoned Lolth. Out of character I usually keep her alive but she was to buggy at that time sadly.
Ok for people who haven’t read the drizzt series or played waterbeep game book her house is they same as Jarlaxle who is one of my favorites drow in dnd lore next to drizzt of course
That's the first time I've seen your background give you a unique dialog option. Wish there were more for it, and maybe inspiration points for your race and/or class.
I love that all fantasy race lore is standard across the board. I read the drizzd do urden series (sorry it was long time ago) and learned about the drow and menzoberenzan and even the baenre house so it’s really cool to see the same lore in baldurs gate too
I love the Menzoberranzan dialogue with her. When I found out she was a Baenre I got excited. LOL There really needs to be a game set in the Drow world. It was Game of Thrones before there was Game of Thrones. #DrowLivesMatter
I didn’t realize until play through 2 now that minthara was a leader in the gobo camp after killing her. Looks like I don’t get her as a companion again. Which is okay I’m a shadow heart simp anyways.
I love how the crew calls out Dockside as being busted (which it is), but looks at Strix' Serenade, which basically reads "Pay blue: counter target Dockside or One Ring", as well as any other busted creature or artefact, and then basically calls it useless 😅
I love how the dialogue is written, they manage to explain the details to new players who have never even heard of the Drow, but still make it sound like like it's two nobles talking about their daily lives
Sooo wait, compare Drizz't books, is BG3 like way after ? Because if I remember the books the drows of the Underdark almost never go to the surface (unless they are going on raid to kill elves in the name of Lolth)... well maybe there are exceptions like Jarlaxle
So, there's a lot of Drizzt books, which extends the timeline quite a bit, but they start in 1297 DR and run aaaaaaall the way to 1488 DR (for now). The events of Baldurs Gate 3 take place in 1492, so a good 4 years after 'Boundless'.

Yet here she is, on the surface, far from home, getting questioned by those "lesser folks".
Guess she didn't live up to the Baenre name.
To be fair, her house got punted by a Drow exile and his allies, so that name has some blemishes already.
Wait, is she a daughter of yvonnel the eternal or one of her daughters? Baenre is a big name. We need to know more!!!
Who knows, it's a big damn house (even if they regularly cull themselves by picking a fight with Drizzt and company)
going band for band with minthara is crazy
Y’all should read the Drizzt books if you haven’t already. Menzobaranzan is fucking crazy with it. It’s awesome.
"I'm just saying, good times"
I love the Menzoberranzan dialogue with her. When I found out she was a Baenre I got excited. LOL There really needs to be a game set in the Drow world. It was Game of Thrones before there was Game of Thrones. #DrowLivesMatter
oh there was a story with Minthara, I just killed her first contact in the goblin camp at lvl 4 lol, never even talked to her
Oh shit she’s from THAT family? Well that makes a lot of sense….😂
I want to know what kind of assasin fails to murder a literal baby. Perhaps the murdering business simply isn't for you at that point?
I really wish lolth-sworn drow got to choose a house in character creation
That hat . . . XD
She's based.
Wait, the BG series takes place in the Drizzt timeline? Holy shit...
Yes, both are set in Faerun.
I didn’t realize until play through 2 now that minthara was a leader in the gobo camp after killing her. Looks like I don’t get her as a companion again.
Which is okay I’m a shadow heart simp anyways.
I love how the crew calls out Dockside as being busted (which it is), but looks at Strix' Serenade, which basically reads "Pay blue: counter target Dockside or One Ring", as well as any other busted creature or artefact, and then basically calls it useless 😅
Love her hat, but it really takes the edge off of her seriousness
This is literally the first time I've seen Background prompted dialogue wtf
I love her to death
Every video with mod Shadowheart man. Fuck i love the internet.
I love how the dialogue is written, they manage to explain the details to new players who have never even heard of the Drow, but still make it sound like like it's two nobles talking about their daily lives
Sooo wait, compare Drizz't books, is BG3 like way after ? Because if I remember the books the drows of the Underdark almost never go to the surface (unless they are going on raid to kill elves in the name of Lolth)... well maybe there are exceptions like Jarlaxle
So, there's a lot of Drizzt books, which extends the timeline quite a bit, but they start in 1297 DR and run aaaaaaall the way to 1488 DR (for now).
The events of Baldurs Gate 3 take place in 1492, so a good 4 years after 'Boundless'.
That hat is tough
im so upset that i killed her i didn't know she could join you. what's her class?
Paladin
LOL dont be so hasty next time
You couldn't do it easily until recently without some sheep shenanigans 😅 I haven't recruited her yet but I will try this run!
@@veganryoriit was always easy, just side with her 😅
@@veganryoriit was always easy. Side with her and massacre the Grove or go after her last and knock her out (instead of killing her) when taking out the goblin leaders.
Oh she is of house Baenre wow! How she feeling about Yvonnel the II?
Everyone’s favourite slaver.
is this the only background dialogue in the game?
Is there an expression-enhancing mod here? I like it
What is she WEARING 😂
I didn’t know backgrounds got dialogue options
the gith ones r really cool
The thighs though 😅😅😅
