* Minsc is voiced by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2233310/ Matthew Mercer], replacing [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0191906/ Jim Cummings] from previous games.
* Unlike other companions, Minsc, alongside [[Jaheira]], was revealed in a trailer at the Video Game Awards 2022.

* Unlike Jaheira, whose stats remained fairly consistent through the games, Minsc's [[Ability Scores]] in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] differ heavily from his stats from [https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Minsc Baldur's Gate 1 & 2]. In every game, he is depicted as immensely strong, being able to punch through walls and break himself out of cages; despite this, his stats as a companion in Baldur's Gate 3 do not reflect this. This is likely due to the fact that while previous games use stat rolling, Baldur's Gate 3 uses 27 Point-Buy; it also allows his Ranger abilities to function more reliably due to his high Wisdom.

** The NPC Version of Minsc you encounter in the Sewers does use a stat-block that is reminiscent of the previous entries in the series, consisting of  STR 20, DEX 15, CON 15, INT 8, WIS 6, CHA 9. He swaps to his playable version after the conversation introducing Boo to the party.
