Tucked away in the 2-year anniversary stats for Baldur's Gate 3 is a bizarre group of players who apparently turned the optional companion Minsc into a lord of death.
The most-respecced Baldur's Gate 3 companions, and the classes and subclasses they were given, were a major point in Larian's latest player data report. Shadowheart is, unsurprisingly, the winner. Another curious respec outside the main class was added as a footnote: just 350 people turned Minsc into a Death Domain Cleric, abandoning his Ranger and Hunter origins.

Life Domain, the correct choice, was a dead-heat tie for Shart, whose class was changed more than any other companion.
Imagine the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 but with a pet hamster named Boo. That's basically Minsc. He's a goofball with more muscle than brains – not a bad build given the brain tadpoles going around in Baldur's Gate 3 – and loyalty strong enough to survive decades of petrification.
