In Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3, Minsc shares his opinion of party companions.
For some reason, Lae'Zel's bugged out and there's nothing on Wyll or Minthara.

At the very start of the game the way you bust him out of the cell Irenicus has him locked in is by telling him that you'll leave him in there so that he gets mad and breaks the cage apart himself and Minsc realises this. Minsc also didn't always refer to himself in third person and things went over his head way less often.

For some reason I could only ask his opinion of Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and Wyll. With Wyll, I don't remember exactly what he said but when I mentioned he was in a pact with Mizora, Minsc said, and I'm paraphrasing, "If Wyll has devil on shoulder, I will sit on other shoulder." I thought it was really sweet that he wanted to be a good influence on Wyll. For Lae'zel, he makes a commentary about how he's seen a lot of her people and if you say she's not her people, he will agree (and I believe he also calls her a good ally). But I did get a funny banter between him and Astarion by having them both on my team and going down to the docks area near the Heapside Strand (I got screenshots of it lol): Minsc: ASTARION! FISH! ASTARION! Astarion: Minsc, please - slow down. Use your words. Minsc: Minsc has thought how you might be a more virtuous vampire - feast on *fish instead*. They are naught but neck! Astarion: It's a sweet thought, but fish just doesn't have the flavour of full-blooded red meat. Minsc: No, you do *not* agree, Boo. I *told* you you have been spending far too much time around the pale one...

I feel like originally Larian only intended to make the 6 origin characters as companions (possibly also Dark Urge), and Minthara, Halsin, Jaheira and Minsc were only added in later due to fan pressure and complaints from early on about how "there were so few Good companions". While the effort is appreciated, it does also mean that the later companions got much less screen time and we don't really get to see them shine as much. :/

It's more of an easter egg world setting from the devs. The whole idea of Minsc/Boo, actually If you ever tried to dig deeper into his lore with him like with everyone else you'll find him quite deflecting about himself, anytime, really. On top of that his dialogue lines are, shall we say, carefully designed to be in his favor and sometimes leading to him being condescending in a passive aggresive way(but with a smily face and Boo, of course), constantly. I think this whole idea of the hidden thorn with Minsc and Boo is Larian's way to tell players to just relax and enjoy an rpg without going too sentimental or prying on each character's lore. Also a power play, imo, to show that even as freely as the game goes, players can only choose from whatever the developers have served up and nothing more.

This was glitched for me. For Astarion and Shadowheart, he only said it’s not nice to speak behind their backs. So the game was probably acting like the two of them went down the bad path, but they were good in playthrough

It's because he's established as a ranger in his backstory from BG1 and BG2. The character would be unplayable as a high strength ranger because it would ruin his other stats while providing next to nothing, no extra AC, no extra HP, most usable weapons wouldn't get any bonus to attack modifier from STR, all you'd get are STR saving throws. He's absolutely conceptualized as a barbarian. He was inspired by one of the Baldur's Gate dev's DnD characters and that character was probably a barbarian rather than a ranger. It's unfortunate conceptually, but I'm sure Minsc would tell you that his only regret in life is that he lost 100 years of kicking the butt of evil doers while he was a statue.

there is kinda a trope about a dumb idiot with a sword whose animal companion(or divine mount), has a higher int(or wis) stat than they do and basically has to do all the characters thinking for them. if they ever get separated from the 'animal' they revert to a complete idiot(as in suicidal levels of stupidity or 'if all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail'), with the 'animal' they are far more competent(and potentially insightful). it is an occasional odd justification for giving the 'animal' ranks in knowledge skills on occasion, but mostly it works as an oddball character concept for one shots or just seeing the characters stat sheets and deciding to realy lean into that for the rp aspect of the game.
