It was much more difficult than I thought it would be. For three games we hear so much crap about Tevinter, and then... I fell in love with Minrathous, I really did. Also as a Shadow Dragon, how could you not save your hometown?
I went back and saved Treviso (just to see the difference), and more than anything, I was SHOCKED by Neve and Tarquin's reactions, honey. Like, in tears almost. They really ate me up, super harsh. Ever since, I've been unable to look at those two the same way (and Neve was a Top 3 companion, now I'm like, she can f*ck off). There really isn't a choice that doesn't feel horrible (although a blighted city is kinda worse, I guess). Also surprised at just how incompetent these two factions are, couldn't they handle it without Rook? What about the other half of the team? How is this all my fault? Ugh...
Anyways. I saved Minrathous and I'd do it again!

Also, I wanna say the quests and people you get to interact with are so much better if you save Minrathous… but then again, I haven’t fully explored Treviso’s path.

I think some of the politics I would have enjoyed are on the Minrathous path. unfortunately, I wasn't that moved by Minrathous and I like Lucanis a lot. And Neve is a professional and handles the loss better than Lucanis does.

I'll put it in spoiler boxes as I'm talking about how things wrap up in Treviso by the end of act 2 (after saving Minrathous), and it deals with consequences of my decision but I also feel vindicated in my decision to the point Rook actually vocalises one part of why I made the choice haha. I decided to save Minrathous. Partly RP - Rook is a shadow dragon and it's also where Dorian etc are. But also practicality - it felt like if Tevinter fell, the world will be eventually run by the Venatori, who it's predicted would take over Tevinter in the event of it being blighted.
I also thought I'd save it as in my head, Treviso, while smaller and far less defendable, had the Antaam as the potential rulers of Treviso. While Brutish and invading the place, are a far less daunting option to (potentially) give power than the absolutely cuckoo blood mage sacrificing nuts in the Venatori. The Antaam are invaders/occupiers but not near as fucked up as the Venatori.
Another aspect is the reaction to it - There'd be so much infighting and anger in Tevinter, my guess is that they'd not unify or rebuild as well as Treviso, a far more cohesive community. Lo and behold, that's what Rook says eventually (about the Crows and Treviso people holding fast and fighting back). The worst person in all of it is Governor Ivenci, the Antaam wanted to rule but the Governor was out to kill and blight people. On that while the Butcher was underdeveloped, I found that meeting between him and Rook fascinating, and he came to like Treviso enough to sacrifice himself to help Rook take down Ivenci.
