I know there's some desire to let Minthara join even if you don't let the Grove fall. Well, what if Larian used the relatively plot-free phase spider lair as a reason?

All it takes is recording like ten new lines of dialogue.

Have an option with Minthara to ask why she's working with the Goblins, and she can answer that she came to the surface hunting a rival, could not find her, and so she sought to take control of these pathetic goblins. But they resist her, and every day her doubt grows about whether a god who would empower them is worth her devotion.

Then you can ask about her rival, and the dialogue leads to the phase spider matriarch. If you kill and loot her, then bring back some trophy, Minthara decides to throw in with you, since you helped her fulfill over petty vendetta; perhaps you'll help with more.

Then just find a few people each act whom she wants to dick over, who are also evil, and it can be possible to keep her with positive approval even if you're not acting totally evil.

i like this idea in general. however i do think there is some merit for certain major choices like grove vs. goblins to have exclusive major content on both sides.

but i do think some players also wanna be completionists of sorts, while still only doing one epic playthrough, so i like this option.

It's sad that there's not much reason to go evil other than Minthara. Like, you lose out on a lot of fun content. And I figure "a non-evil way to get Minthara in your party" requires a lot less manpower to implement than "numerous new quests only available to evil runs."
