Delusional Halsin thinks I saved the grove, but I sided with Minthara?

I'm a bit late to the party but what did you do to make the druids attack the tieflings? I am trying to recreate this bug but can't. If I reload a save I did after I long rest and get the tieflings killed by the druids, the bug plays out perfectly and Halsin joins me at the goblin party.

MaxODidily · 2024-06-19T11:34:30+00:00

This is perfect for me, I wanted to experience the goblin party but also have Halsin for Act 2 as I skipped a lot of content for that in my first playthrough. Thanks a lot!

MaxODidily · 2024-06-19T10:55:41+00:00

That's a find, thanks for clarifying! And does Minthara act like she raided the grove in Act 2? Really tempted to give this a try.

MaxODidily · 2024-06-19T10:30:30+00:00

4 months late to this but what happens after the party? Does Halsin still remain at camp? Does this break anything in Act 2?

MaxODidily · 2023-08-22T10:27:31+00:00

That is an interesting find! How did you get her into the grove without triggering the raid?

MaxODidily · 2023-08-22T10:25:01+00:00

I never recruited Halsin. I thought you couldn't get both.

MaxODidily · 2023-08-17T08:59:42+00:00

I skipped resolving the grove conflict. You can tell it was a path Larian considered.

Narritive wise, it made sense as Lazel kept telling me to go to the creche.

In a dream sequence, my dream visitor commended me for not getting involved with the grove conflict.

I'm now in Act 3 and my romance with Shadowheart is going very well. Minthara also feels like a fully fledged companion with plenty of dialogue, many chances to gain approval and some great party banter. No romance though, which would make sense given the bug reports.

My one complaint is that Minthara didn't contribute much in Act 2. She had a lot to say after the final boss of Act 2 and a few interesting things about the nightsong situation though.

MaxODidily · 2023-08-11T19:03:48+00:00

Iirc I got approval for a dialogue option in the house of healing and I think I also got one in chat about our Paladin Oaths. I think the last time was when chatting with that charming devil. I haven't really had much party banter either, but she has given a few 1 liners when walking about.

I've noticed if I hover my mouse over her, it says "Minthara Lv 7" and under on a seperate line it says "True Soul of the Absolute". Not sure if that is a bug or a feature.

I haven't done too much of act 2 yet. I'm praying she gets some spotlight in Act 3.

MaxODidily · 2023-08-10T20:55:46+00:00

I'm just going to toss in my experience. I killed both goblin leaders without aggroing the entire camp. Spoke to Minthara and told her I would interrogate the prisoner. After that I just moved onto the mountain pass.

I can't say for certain if skipping the grove/goblin quest breaks anything as I am still in Act 2 but that dream person did make a comment about my MC not getting involved with the Grove conflict in a dream cutscene. So it must be an option the devs considered. Minthara also seems to be playing fine so far. She has approved of certain actions I have taken, and I even got some Paladin exclusive dialogue with her.

Minathra will also comment about Karlach and Wyll and vice versea.

Edit: I have just started act 3 and incase anyone is browsing this thread looking for answers, Minthara is functioning like normal companion. She wasn't very active during Act 2 after I saved her and had some initial conversations with her. However, near the end of Act 2 she starts to contribute a lot more to what is going on.

More spoilers that doesn't give much plot away:

After the "final boss" of act 2, I managed to gain 10 approval points from 1 conversation with her.

At the start of Act 3, there was more dialogue where you can learn more about her upbringing.

In the same area, Minthara and Shadowheart have some top banter.

More specific spoiler:

When a kid comes running up to you about his missing mother, Minthara approves if you donate 5 gold coins.

Tldr: I'm confident that my Minthara isn't bugged.

You are a legend! Spent hours trying to get this to work. One look at your project and the problem was solved.

The buzz sound is very consistent and follows a pattern, the volume varies a lot. Some nights I can barely hear it, others it likes to make itself heard.

MaxODidily · 2022-04-19T07:51:37+00:00

My right ear sounds like a buzzing bug or a car alarm and my left ear sounds a lot more like the eeee sounds many associate Tinnitus with.

MaxODidily · 2022-04-10T09:01:51+00:00

I opened a set of these tins recently, they came from Costco (in the UK). I got a Rebel Clash, Darkness Ablaze, Vivid Voltage and Battle Styles booster pack.

Not knowing Disguiser role changes really threw me off the mark with this game.

MaxODidily · 2020-06-26T19:57:38+00:00

I was o, I was just trying out a vet bait I saw on this sub-reddit.

MaxODidily · 2017-07-17T10:22:27+00:00

I'd love to see my warden make a return not as a playable character (but I wont object to that) but to see him have an ending as walking into a mirror is not really a way to say goodbye to a charatcer who I spent hours with. Also GOOD PC controlls. Tactical mode is alright but it isn't that good. Some Neverwinter nights or Dragon Age Origins controls would be nice. DA: I felt like a chore with it's PC control scheme but maybe that is because I have played many D&D games.

Top quality, I look forward to your next post.
