This is more of an Easter Egg than a full story arc. Wyll needs to be in your party for the interactions with Mizora in the story, and then you can’t break the pact in Act 2. You then free her from capture, and after the Iron Throne and Ansur events in Act 3, you simply take a long rest, and she comes to you. The conversation is straightforward after that.

No. That would ruin a lot of great things about the fandom, in my opinion. Every morally ambiguous character needs to be romanced by every protagonist in the story. It's better that way. And there's nothing that says every intense relationship has to end in a kiss. The intense history between Wyll and Mizora is deeply toxic. All of the bitterness and twisted intimacy of their deal is what makes their situation so compelling. Turning it all into a romance would somehow ‘fix’ it all and ruin it.
This would also miss the point of a deep, complex, story driven relationship in the game. The relationship with the cambion focusses on a deep story about obligation, regret and reclaiming one’s soul. Turning her into a romanceable character would turn this in to just another villain-banging simulator. It would also clash greatly with the heroic profile of the Blade of Frontiers, Wyll. Can you imagine the hero of the story settling down with a cambion who gets off on the suffering of others? The doors that are not meant to be opened should not be opened. There are plenty of other complex relationships in the game that could be just as interesting, just in different ways.

Overall I’d rate these mods a B- effort. They’re not going to win any awards for writing, and won’t ever feel fully part of the game world in the way that the main game’s story does. But they do serve a purpose: as a stand of decent fanfic, you can just turn them on in the game world and get swept up in them. I’d really recommend these to anyone who’s ever wanted to see more of a particular character, especially if you’re playing through a particular story on a particular tack (I’m thinking especially of some fiend-pact roleplay scenarios here). They’re fundamentally amateur creations, and you need to go in with the appropriate expectations – they’re not going to have the same level of polish, budget, or narrative expertise as the main game. But they’re perfectly adequate as supplements to the game as it stands, and for the right player, the jank will be well worth it.

When you’re trying to resist the Dark Urge to become evil in a story, being in a loyal romance is your strongest storyteller mechanic to remain good. Your partner can talk you down from the edge, prevent certain scenarios from playing out and even help write you out of sticky situations. Burning that bridge by cheating on them, however, removes that check on your behavior and has far-reaching consequences that can even alter the soul of your protagonist and change the ending for you.

Trying to make Minthara work on a good-aligned run is sort of mentally strenuous to attempt. Minthara isn’t cute, Minthara isn’t lenient towards good creatures - she is drow, and an exceptionally brutal one at that. As described in her write-up, she completely masterminded the mass-kill of a tiefling refugee camp. You had to side with the goblin camp to bring her to your party, helping to orchestrate said slaughter.
Trying to justify it to access the romance content would feel like stretching to an extreme to alter one’s character in order to gain access to Minthara’s unique romance story. It could be headcanoned that Minthara is slowly redeemed from her evil ways later on in the story, but the act that kickstarts the romance is so evil and repulsive that it would taint the entire rest of the playthrough. Instead, it would serve as a narrative paradox that the player would have to ignore in order to gain access to the content that they desire.

The polyamory option is very specific and needs to be completed in a very specific order, mostly following the drow twins in Act 3. As opposed to other true throuples, this is a one time, very consensual arrangement. Trying to continue two full romances without this trigger will eventually blow up in your face.

I just wanted to add my two cents to this discussion, but really I have no idea what others think, because I have simply befriended her (no idea she saw it that way). Interesting.

It’s probably easiest to just start a new playthrough. Follow all of the approval tips that you read on the forums (get approval high as quickly as possible, rest frequently, keep attention focused). Occasionally a save file just gets corrupted in a way that can’t be fixed without mods. That would be awful. Very time consuming, though.

One of the things I loved about getting into it with the Emperor in 'Baldur's Gate 3' was the real and weird mix of desire and fear he inspired from the very start. Oh boy, was I excited to see this story unfold. Building up a romance in this game isn’t about pouring out endearments and getting giggly and drooly in between. Instead there’s a lot of burden and a lot of choice to ponder while you’re having these moments of warmth and desire.
It feels a lot like balancing on the edge of a knife – and risk everything crashing to the floor at any moment! I do very much enjoy the choices I make influence the Empire’s fascinating Emporer and how our romance evolves in ways that are both genuinely wonderful and tense. It’s very engaging to play, and very real too – and not just a bunch of physical affection by any means. He’s very much part of the main story – and none of it is easy at all. A true rollercoaster of emotions, choices, and surprises – and I never wanted it to end! How could anyone not fall for him?!

A lot of people have commented on this before, and generally it works for a ‘redeemed’ or resistant Durge, but not so much for an ‘embrace’ Durge (since Halsin gained approval of the hero Durge through heroic actions, it would be somewhat difficult to maintain a high approval rating as a monster). But that would be some fun metagaming, in order to do good things in front of Halsin and evil things when he isn’t around. Of course, all of this would depend on good roleplaying of the Urge that you’re hiding, and of your hidden duplicity from your lover. Some really dark and complex roleplaying could be created here, and while there may not be specific written content for it, the scenario you create could be extremely rich.
