Can't use parasites
What's the point of giving the PC parasites when I cant even use them, good job game.

Opening the menu it just says (Characters name) is hesitating

First time I got them all the way to act 3, only can use them on party members.

Well, did you accept the first one? If you don't actually accept the first one, you cannot use any others, of course.

You haven’t engaged the party members in dialogue to put them into the path to use the tadpoles.

Is this because you yourself haven’t used the Ilithid wisdom and unlocked the benefit to using them yourself

Some characters can't use parasites because they don't have one to begin with. So you'd be infected them to become Illithid. Other characters will refuse to use the ASTRAL tadpole because you have to convince them in dialogue.

In Act 1 you can't keep using tadpoles until you start the Goblin Fort area and your dream visitor unlocks it in a long rest scene.

Gotta be honest, your posts make no sense to me. You're in Act 3? Which character are you trying to give parasites to? Are you using the menu or are you trying to use the Astral Tadpole?

"HEY GUYS I'M GONNA ♥♥♥♥♥ ON THE GAME BEFORE ASKING FOR INFORMATIONS, WAZZZZZUP !"

Is what i'm seeing right now.

to use the tadpoles yourself you have to pass 2 or 3 wisdom illithid influence dialog options, if you never take any of these options i dont believe you can access the illithid powers. a few examples of areas you can get a illithid wisdom check is blighted village tellling the goblins to let you pass, the gnolls attacking the guards and like 3 or 4 in the fortress full of goblins, you have to long rest between influencing people.

I'm talking about YOUR character. Not any companions. ALL the first companions are already infected. It is the NEXT one that you must take to trigger the process of using them. Some companions, Shadowheart and Lae'zel for instance, will not accept them.

Note that they are like a talent tree. You must 'feed' the skills closer to the center before you can do the ones further from the center.
You have to use the powers in dialog, then you have to long rest and give in to the parasite...

Its the choices you made that are preventing you from using them.
