I'm not saying Larian made the wrong choice here, far from it. I just think it would have added depth if the other two got tadpoled at least somewhat willingly to explain why they're beyond saving, and how that makes Minthara different. As it is, it's like - "of course she's rescuable, she's a sexy elf, why wouldn't she be? Don't be silly."
You ascribe agency to Larian where i dont think there was.

FANS asked for Minthara to be recruitable. Larian obliged. There's nothing to say if Fans hadnt obsessed over the goblinoid characters as much as they'd have obsessed over the sexy dark elf then Larian wouldn't have accomodated recruiting them instead.

Fans are the horny ones. Larian just enabled them. Dont blame Larian for going through the path of least resistance instead of trying to make a courageous pro-goblinoid stance.
