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.

While the previous games aren’t really necessary to play The Witcher 3, your history from them does matter in the game. Specifically, if in The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings you chose Triss Merigold over her and went for her in the ending scene confessing your love for her and wanting to be with her, then that commitment will be referenced in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, making your reunion with her all the more poignant. If you’re simulating a save of The Witcher 3, in order to have that history with Triss you tell the Nilfgaardian ambassador in Vizima about your past with her. As I said, it’s not strictly necessary to start the romance with her in The Witcher 3, but that history does add a lot to your time with her, making it more than just a fling.

One exception to purely pragmatic play is the vulnerable moment of the dream after learning its story. The Emperor drops its guard and asks for something real. All other choices had to gain sufficient approval to have these options revealed. Here you open a door with choices like “What do you want from me?” or “We could be more than allies.” Responding there with cold suspicion causes the door to slam shut. But responding with appropriate curiosity and possibly some longing causes the door to open.

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, you cannot purchase and download books within the Kindle reading app without having an Amazon account (since the app is a doorway to Amazon’s e-bookstore). However, you can add e-books to your Kindle library by sending them to your Kindle email address (with the appropriate file extensions) or by using the “Send to Kindle” button found on many websites that sell e-books. Many of the classic works that are in the public domain can be downloaded for free from various non Amazon sites to read on your Kindle. Modern works of literature can often be purchased by using your Amazon account.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can progress the Astarion romance by choosing dialogue options that support his freedom, encourage his hedonistic ways, and line up with his chaotic neutral outlook. Approving of him biting you, laughing at his mean jokes, and generally being okay with him being selfish in the personal quests for him will increase approval. The supernatural romance novel ‘Seducing Alpha Jaxon’ has a similar storyline to this, where the protagonist tries to navigate the dangerous, charismatic Alpha Jaxon through conversation and a series of somewhat risky personal actions. The protagonist has to be calculated in her choices in order to get the man she wants.

These little conversation branches can be 'triggers' for the romance scenes. The Kind, Flirty, or Protective types can all be unlocked by saying the relevant thing to them in conversation. Completing their 'personal story' sidequest is also required, and then making sure they're by your side for the relevant scenes in the story. I learned this the hard way, when in a single playthrough I kept a character benched and wondered why a sweet scene or two weren't in the game for them.
This leaves very little to actual choice in one playthrough of the game. Make gentle, flirty or protective dialogue choices, complete characters’ side content and make sure to stand next to them during set story scenes. All in all the romantic scenes feel very earned because of this approach.

Many of the dialogue options are not as simple as they read. Is that line flirty or friendly? The most romantic option can often backfire if it comes on too strong too fast. Her confidant is not about romance, it is about trust. The options that advanced the relationship with Joker the most were the ones where he offered to help her or expressed his confidence in her abilities. The lines that read as if he were offering her pity or other shallow forms of admiration for the most part fell flat. She can see right through that kind of BS from a mile away. So be sincere not smooth. That is the real guide you need.

Installing this mod changes the tone of your game, adds new scenes and changes interactions with certain characters. Note that this does not modify your save game in any way; it simply loads in a different story module for you to play through. As a result of installing this, you are no longer playing through the standard heroic journey, and are instead treated to a far darker and twisted tale of power and corruption. This is one of the most interesting choices that the game has to offer, and whether or not the consequences of installing this are good or not depends entirely on the type of story you are trying to experience. To me, this is good.

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.
