[1stReaper]

pretty much every time i start a game now im subconsciously picking up the 3 brains in a jar everytime i pass them... and ive yet to find a use for them...

has anyone else found a use for them yet ?
its driving me up the wall XD... untill its just the devs trolling us...
by making the chars make a remark about them and there for tricking us into thinking they are important for some reason when really they aren't :o

Not yet.

I'm pretty sure there will be crafting when the final game releases, so they may be used as an ingredient for something.

For example in Divinity Original Sin 2, you'd use a mortar to crush the bones, thus gaining bone dust.

@cheers ya'll :).

@crim
yh... i had a feeling that could be the case... i cant remember where i saw it,,, but there was a comment someone made about "maybe" adding them constructs (shrugs)

the idea of terminator in bg makes me giggle lol
o wait no... maybe more robocop then terminator...
(terminator - cyborg > no organic parts, robocop - part organic)

It is a portable food. For a Mibdflayer.

I wonder if Omeleum in the Myconid colony would like those, or at least pay good money for them?

Bro ME TOO.

I made a post about this literally like 1+ year ago too! I always take the 3 brains and I always take the 3 info tablets and stick them in my camp.

Never considered the possibility that it might be used as food for the tadpole. That's pretty interesting.

Another possibility I've considered is perhaps we'll use it for something even greater. These brains are still alive correct? Perhaps we can talk to them or pull information from them.

lol, should start a run where you bring the brains along with you wherever you go :),
poor things have a crappy life :<

first they get ripped out of a skull, then left to die in the ships explosion, IF they were lucky enough to survive that,,, that just lie there,,,cold and alone rotting away, and if they DO get collected by some psycho that has a thing for collecting brains,,, they are stuffed in a chest to rot instead :'<


#free the brain, #they just want to be loved, #bring them on your adventure :P

I as well always pick them and the info tablets up as well. They seem too 'important' to just be something just found on the side as part of the immersion scenery. I have a few hypothesis on what they are used for in no particular level of importance.

- The brains could very well be used as crafting material

- If we decided to embrace the tadpole, and to a point of becoming a mindflayer we could read the extra info on those tablets in their entirety, and not just the cursory overview we get from the narrator

- One of the brains, the one that is sitting next to the tablet that speaks of a githyanki warrior alluding to having endured centuries of darkness (as there is nothing left of them but the brain), could belong to Gith, the first Githyanki Leader, and it might have something important to do with the artifact later on in the game

- They could be, if we turn into mindflayers, our first literal brain food, especially when it comes to the eldritch brain

- The eldritch brain could have something important to tell us if we ever used the read thoughts scroll/spell and tried to examine/interact with it, maybe it might allow us to actually read its thoughts

That's all for now.
I might come up with some more later.

I like to pick them to decorate the stone table at the camp. Usually I get the hag's toad kettle too, love the looks, great details.

@war

@Brigador

Ok, bare with me... Secretly, I've been hoping for this in the full game release:

A potential companion, that's a golem of some kind, or an Autoniton type thing you encounter than you can place one of the brains into (you choose!) to make an autonomous companion.

Another thought I had (Yes, I've been pondering this for over a year) is the idea that you could potentially grow the brains into the little thrall things like the brain you can get on the ship, potentially if you go the mindflayer rout.

there might be constructs at some point (who knows),
cant remember where i saw it but im sure i saw a construct-ish looking team member....
(but i think it was a mod...)

Both would be cool.
