Minthara/Approval
Overview | Approval | Banter | Romance | Combat |
Minthara approves cruel attitude towards other beings and any choices aimed towards gaining more power.
Being a drow, Minthara has a highly hostile demeanor, considering pretty much everyone as inferior. As a scion of a noble House, she holds other drow characters in high regard, not hesitating to show all others their proper place. Also, Minthara prefers straight and harsh decisions to any subterfuge, and approves exerting revenge on everyone who wronged her. Finally, she appreciates any actions that might help her regain due respect and position within power structure of her homeland, Menzoberranzan.
Minthara dislikes expresses of any weakness or spinelessness. These traits, in her opinion, include peacefulness, conformity and wish to help those in need for the sake of it. She disdains most acts of charity and expressing compassion to the weak and meek[note 1]. Lastly, she doesn't approve stopping others from cruel behavior.
As Minthara can only be recruited after being used and then sentenced to death by the Chosen of the Absolute, she considers the latters as her implacable foes. Hence, she approves any player's choices directed to defeating current leadership of the cult.
The actions and choices listed on this page will raise or lower Minthara's Approval.
For more information about the approval system, see Approval.
Greetings[edit | edit source]
Currently, regardless of their approval rating or relationship status, Minthara greets the player with: [Needs Verification]
- "You wish to consult me?"
If spoken to by someone other than the player character:
- "I do not have time for idle chatter."
