In BG3 unless the writer a seperate story line if you want to side with the mind flayer. Knowing how the other game series writing is , they will try to force you in to the hero role or at the least a sudo hero role. If you do side with the mind flayer you will get a game over screen or a early game ending if they write it in ( Such as in fallout 1 if you side with the super mutant's faction) . Alien's such as the mind flayer , aboleth or other very alien creature's in D&D lore have a very master and servent/thrall relationship if they are lawful evil for their shade of lawful evil. Maybe if you want to side with the mind flayer's there could be a option to be made in to a half-illithed variant that force you in a villain role with thrall servent's being force to carry out the elderbrain will as how the mind flayer's do in BG2. For such a nique thing to have writing done to join the mind flayer as a ally would be a nice option to have but require time on the writer part and time if they want to have it in game at a later time.

Right now In my playthrough if you use the tadpole to much you start having dreams.
In these dreams the "person your dreaming of" is trying to sway you on something and I assume that this person is the Absolute. On the other hand some sort of primal rage in your body wants to attack this person and I assume it is the tadpole.

I'm starting to think it the other way around though because you actually get a special psionic power of a mindflayer from the "person your dreaming of"

So that's 2nd person we create at the start of the game then? I was wondering what the point of that was...and who they were and what purpose they had...

Curious thing though I am still at early stages and there is mention of how your not exhibiting the syptoms or even seem to be going through the process.

So, we will have to wait and see. Unfortunately this kind of games they usually force you to the "path of the hero" which i dont really like but, well lets just go with the flow...

Never had to be a hero, go be a complete monster. The game lets you to a good degree.

This is your make-or-break thing for whether or not the game will be a waste of money, and you bought it immediately before asking?

If you're still under 2 hours, refund it, and wait until the full game comes out, and ask again at that point. We can't answer yes or no, we have no idea.

or better yet don't get it at all. If something so silly is what you base your enjoyment of the ENTIRE GAME on, then maybe the game isn't for you in the first place.

you don't become a mind flayer, you are simply a host. Its like in the alien movies. You are just the poor victim who dies once the chest buster comes out and grows into a xenomorph.

Mind Flayers themselves are servants to an Elder Brain usually. Also, the Tadpole they inject into you, or anyone else, in a normal circumstance, would slowly eat their entire brain and replace them over the course of 7 days, turning the body into a Mind Flayer while replacing the mind and soul with it's own.

Basically, becoming one means losing your character's identity, becoming an entirely new creature, and becoming a slave / servant to other Flayers / The Elder Brain.

I recall in baldur's gate 2, there is wizard can turn into mindflyer, but it's fake yet offer limited power, it's basic of spell with Shapechange spell.

I doubt you'll be able to 'become' a mindflayer. The process of the tadpole eating your brain and growing into a mindflayer would kill you.

It is possible, it is part of the start near the beach but basically you become the enemy of the party

You don't really have to be a hero in BG3 (you can run around killing everyone if you want to), but this has nothing to do with your imperative to get rid of the parasite that is maturing into a mind flayer inside of your head. Like, you've seen Alien, right? The chestburster is a "game over, man," so to speak.

This mirrors the first two Baldur's Gates, where you play a Bhaalspawn: a mortal puppet of the dead god of murder, Bhaal, engineered to be the fleshy vessel through which Bhaal will reincarnate himself (via, unsurprisingly, murder). First Sarevok and then Jon Irenicus want to use you and the latest god-power within you in order to gain the powers of godhood for themselves. This is not to your benefit. In the words of Gale, "This is to be avoided."

Wanting to "turn into the mind flayer" is a lot like those people at the beginning of Independence Day who wanted to meet the aliens and get abducted by them. But then I guess there really are people like that in real life, so...

I just think is a fresh idea to be able to play as one, nothing more nothing less.

Silly or not it just a point of view. I think you may be right.
