It was the same for me with the guy with the hamster in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. He's a favourite to everyone, to me he was just an annoying idiot.

I think he's endearing. But I was probably about 12 when I first played BG1, and the dumb-but-good-hearted warrior with the world's only miniature giant space hamster was comedic gold for me at that age.

Minsc is also relatively weak compared to other potential party members.

He was much better written in those games, I think

Minsc is getting a big punch up for the nostalgia factor. He's a beloved character from the original games and has been featured in other D&D stories.
