"Her" voice also needs a serious reworking, though.

Probably same reason as the blowback to Chang cosplaying a Drow in Community D&D episode.

Chin is the same though

Btw my biggest gripe with Minthara is actually her voice. It's rather deep voice that's indeed a bit masculine. I still overlook that in the name of producing the best offspring though.

Also worth mentioning Minthara is the only one who isn't willing to share bed with anybody, including Halsin. If you hate Halsin rapist behavior, the only logical course of action is to romance Minthara.

"All drow have black skin."
"[…] true black, the color of onyx"
"varies only slightly"

— Drow of the Underdark

I always assumed the reason they were represented otherwise in print medium is the cost of black ink, and it wouldn't look very good.

Even in BG1 and 2 drows already were shades of purple so I don't mind them being this way anyway, them all looking onyx wouldn't be as interesting imo

Maybe. But the initial reasons for the change are still race-leftism and cowardice.

During my first playthrough, I was like "okay, okay, it's a gigapozzed game, but if you try your best to ignore all that (or better yet, install the NoAlphabets mod), it's the the best game ever... or at least game of the decade".

After my second playthrough, I'm kinda like "meh".

Replay value ain't that high. I first played as a Human Male Paladin with an Oath of Devotion, did all the goodey-two-shoes good boy stuff. My second playthrough was as a Half-Orc dual-classed Oathbreaker Paladin + Warlock combo, an it was an evil playthrough... and honestly? Meh. Replay value isn't that high.
The second playthrough made me even more acutely aware of the game's serious flaws. Also, compared to the good playthrough, the evil playthrough felt kinda lonely. While the first playthrough felt like an epic adventure - albeit one laced with pozzed woke propaganda and way too much horniness for my taste - the second playthrough felt kinda meh. The magic just wasn't there anymore.
Yes Larian done a huge miss in how they conducted evil playthroughs. I get most people don't want an evil playthrough for first time but it's essential to give the game replayability and Larian decided to throw that away by making exterminating the grove suck completely.

BG1&2 aren't even the first instances of Drow in CRPGs tho. Drizzt was significantly darker, bordering on a near-onyx color, in Menzoberranzan:

Was it really necessary for Faglarian to have her being voiced by a chain smoker? I mean not all femoid characters should have anime baby voices, but chain smoking granny voice is just lol. And that recidivist face...

In terms of repulsiveness nothing beats modern woke character design.

Looks like they were just replaced by a wingless, less-humanoid version between 2e->3e but they're still around https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Kenku

As for Minthara, I don't even know what she sounds like. My guy had no reason not to just push her into the ravine by her desk.

She just sounds like an English noble. I can't really put it more simply than that, imagine Camila, King Charles wife.

Didn't sound like that to me, I don't know. British-English isn't really a soft language anyway, it's quite coarse most of the time.

I use one of these (not C, though; its lips are disproportionately large IMO), along with a mod that gives her a proper Drow color scheme. The goofy purple skin combined with the ugly, yellow-tinted hair are among the many things that make her seem like a joke. Not to mention it looks like an invisible force is constantly pulling the corners of her mouth as far apart as possible.

I always kill her immediately upon meeting her, but the least she could do is not be an eyesore beforehand. :cool:

Minthara is a strong woman (not in the sense of being a woke girlboss) who'd be an adequate match to produce gigachad offspring. People who can't appreciate somebody like Minthara is condemned to reproduce soyboys.
Why would your boys be learning how to be a man from their mother? Are your genes so weak that they'll rely on their mother's genes for masculinity?
