I love Minsc, but I don't think it's fair to say that only Sarevok surpasses him- Korgan is just as good a fighter, possibly better, and only gets the short shaft from fans because he's tempermentally unsuited to most parties. [[User:Stilgar135|Stilgar135]] 22:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

== Warrior? ==

The video run time of 1:37 is thought to be a studio-ordered cut against the wishes of Michael Mann. His cut of choice is speculated to be in the three to four hour range.

"Minsc is the strongest joinable warrior in both games"

==Plot==

{{spoiler}}

The film focused on a deserted [[citadel]] (called the "Keep") in [[Romania]] within which lives a dangerous [[demon]]. When the German [[Wehrmacht]] occupies the castle as part of protecting a mountain pass, the demon is mistakenly unleashed from the walls of the citadel and begins killing German soldiers. At this point, the [[Schutzstaffel|SS]] arrives to deal with what was thought to be [[Partisan (military)|partisan]] activity. The SS actions only fuel the demon's rage and soon SS troops begin to die in mysterious ways.

Isn't Minsc a Ranger?

This results in the Germans locating a [[Jewish]] professor who had studied the Keep years before. The demon enlists the aid of the professor to escape from the Keep; however a mysterious stranger then arrives to stop the demon. The stranger confronts the professor and tells him the demon of the Keep is as [[evil]] as the Germans it is killing, and then the stranger and the demon do battle. The demon is destroyed, but the stranger (who is revealed to be a super-human creature who imprisoned the demon centuries before) is mortally wounded. Alternate versions of the film show the stranger coming back to life and leaving the keep with the professor's daughter, with whom a love interest had developed.

With a hamster yes. But with the way he acts, its a mix between Warrion/Fighter, paladin(doing hid own good, a good rebel)and ranger, with abilities.

A board game based on the film was published by [[Mayfair Games]]. The game was designed by [[James D. Griffin]].

Minsc is '''not''' a non-playable character since not only can he join the group but he is also fully under the control of the player. This should be changed in the article.

== Sarevok spoiler? ==

It might be a borderline-case, but shouldn't Sarevoks appearence in Baldur's Gate 2 (and especially that he can join your party) be marked as a spoiler? It's in the "Powers"-section. <blockquote>''Minsc is the strongest joinable warrior in both games (Strength 18/93) until the Baldurs Gate II addon Throne of Bhaal that introduced Sarevok (Strength 18/00) (...)''</blockquote> -- [[User:Anissen|Anissen]] 12:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Vin Moosk and Boo ==

You don't suppose that when there is another episodes of [[Kids Next Door]] featuring Moosk, that Boo may make a Cameo/homage role? After all there Are hamsters in the show and Moosk is very much like Minsc. Even the name is a slight anagram.

Vin Moosk

Minsc (C is a K sound)
