@iedawahato 2 ай бұрын

Important to note that in Forgotten Realms lore, some Mindflayers are capable of having their original consciousness survive ceremorphosis through a phenomenon known as Partialism, which is likely what Balduran and of course Tav and other origin characters if they become Mindflayers experience. For players who had Karlach turn, the devs basically implied during an interview that she was in fact still Karlach, just with an expanded consciousness she had to get used to. Note also the lore on souls re: mindflayers is iffy; and in this case they seem to be heavily expanding the concept of souls by stressing they don’t have “apostolic” ones like the races of Faerun etc have. They clearly have *something, however different, or that ending where they meet Withers after dying wouldn’t be possible.

@baval5 6 ай бұрын

Baldurs Gate 3 gets almost everything wrong about Mind Flayers (its fine though it makes for a good story), for example: Mind Flayers do not chew open someones skull while holding on with their tentacles, though this is a common mistake in art. Their tentacles actually are able to secrete an enzyme potent enough to dissolve flesh and bone on contact. They literally scoop your brain straight out of your head like it was water with their tentacles. However, Mind Flayers skin is naturally immune to this enzyme, so a Mind Flayer cannot easily eat another Mind Flayers brain. Even then they wouldnt want to, and would get little nourishment from it. A Mind Flayers "brain" is in many ways the actual Mind Flayer, the tadpole grown to the size of a brain and connected to the nervous system. The reason Mind Flayers eat brains is because they are not capable of producing the chemicals and psychic energy a normal brain uses to sustain its converted host body. A Mind Flayer eating another ones brain would get physical sustenance (which they dont really require), and some amount of psychic, but not the resources it really needs. Source: Lords of Madness

Within a matter of months our character is likely to forget why they ever cared for Shadowheart and consider her inferior. Worst case, we may even decide to Thrall her, as Illithids have an innate genetic drive to enthrall people and feel distressed when they have no thralls. Further, a mind flayer can only survive about a week without feasting on brains, specifically sentient brains (so it's even worse than someone like Astarion, who could at least survive on beast blood). Which means we need to kill a humanoid at least once a week and eat their brains. I'm not convinced Shadowheart will stick with us through that given everything. And again yeah, Illithids don't have a limbic system or hormones or brain setup that is built for feeling love.

@FeyThing 9 ай бұрын

@@JB-xl2jc Unfortunately you are incorrect. Mindflayers can survive a month without a brain, but a healthy mindflayer needs to at least eat a sapient brain, not sentient brain once per week. Sapience is different from sentience. Also I don't understand why people keep forgetting omeluum exist. You character doesn't have to enthrall people, it is completely up to them if they wish to pursue enthralling people since again, illithids do have individual personalities. For some reason you retain your personality in this game. Your character will be fine, unless they let themselves become a feral sociopath, as yes when you become a mindflayer negative emotions are amplified. But that does not = you losing your emotions. Again Omeluum even develops irrational fears of the ocean. So I don't get where everyone is getting, you'll lose all your emotions and etc. It seems like a lot of people are misreading the ending options. Also in canon, once you turn into a mindflayer, your brain is eaten, you are gone. Dead. There is no fading memories. Your character is just I guess special.

Pretty sure it's been lore as far back as the Adversary, a rare instance of an illithid born with natural immunity to the Elder Brain and actually retaining his full mental faculties and ability to feel, and superior psionic powers to boot, which are only enhanced by eating other illithids.

Of all the creepy attempts at romance from some companions, the Emperor's is probably the creepiest one. Granted: I thought a bit differently about its "guardian" form during my very first play-through. God, she was hot! :D But I definitely draw the line at Cthulhu-looking monstrosities with Ken-/Barbie-style nether-regions and an appetite for human brains. Who pull me into their minds without my consent while I'm sleeping to try and ruin my relationship with sweet, sweet Shadowheart.

@@throwitouttheairlock9556 The emperor was only recently transformed into a mind flayer and his whole thing is a facade, he is incredibly good at manipulating. He has retained a lot of his memories, which might have something to do with the netherese tadpoles, or just an anomaly. Usually some memories remain and it differs per person. Maybe the length of time these tadpoles have spent in the head without tranformation allows them to absorb more memories. In the end they will slowly lose them and gain a new mind flayer personality. If they end up under the thrall of an elder brain it may absorb any remnant memories and speed up the process. Either way the host is dead and their soul is gone, they are a new being.

You know, now that I think about it, being a mind flayer is the only way to have some exceptional power for our character, something that may even help him fight beings of higher levels. Also with the passage of time I start to understand some aspects of illithid teachings, having different type of soul that gods cannot digest, they see those deities for what they truly are, nothing more than beings of absurd power limiting the mortals as much as they can, while feasting on their souls and worship, they are nothing more than competitors that had more time and better cards on their hands, offering borrowed power that will never threaten their reign, as they can take it back at any moment, and one day they will make you pay for it, whether it will be your life or soul, they are not that different from devils really. I do not share the disdain for arcane arts that illithids posess, but I understand where this is coming from: your connection to the weave is dependent on the Goddess of magic and that is kind of unreliable as weave can be damaged and magic is heavily regulated, while psionic powers are entirely yours and have no limits on their development, nonetheless I consider magic is a handy tool, while I wouldn't be too overreliant on it

Long shot I know, but as the mindflyler lore seems to state you die and its i different being that walks around with your memories, I know which one I'd rather take the chance on.

@@paulinemillard8156 illithid tadpole offers much more power as you can put it through trials and make it evolve via zaithi'sk and Omeluum's potion, also you can consume Orpheus, who has an immense amount of psionic power that can rival the elder brain, he inherited it from mother Gith herself, and considering that his powers allow you to retain your sense of self while using illithid powers for an entire game, I don't think you will be altered much, player still controls the character, there is no game over screen that shows what happens when you transform without protection and lose yourself, so you become the strongest mindflayer in history with nearly limitless potential and that is worth something, considering the fact that they dominated the entire known universe at some point in time. Quite a unique opportunity for sure, and you don't have to rely on an evil aligned character for you freedom, that also resembles Cazador more and more after his ascension and you know how he treated his thralls, right?

@paulinemillard8156 8 ай бұрын

@@manofculture3638 I'd still rather be myself and a slave to an evil vampire as it would not be totally impossible to break free as Astarion proves. True vampires tend to come about by spawns killing their masters and taking their power. This was even the case with Cazador. Even so, I don't buy into Asended Astarion being Cazador 2.0. He is changed for the worse, sure but Cazador only made those seven spawn to use in the ritual. As Astarion tells you earlier, True vampires don't like competition, and any spawn is a potenial stab in the back at a later date. Astarion makes you his spawn as an actual gift. At the time he is truly grateful for what you did for him, he knows you are powerful in your own right, so he must know he is potentially signing his own death warrant in the future. But he does it anyway. I mean he doesn't even retailate if you back out of the offer and kick him in the balls. He could have easily killed you or made you spawn by force but he doesn't, he just leaves. Even evil Astarion is better than Cazador, at least for now.

@paulinemillard8156 8 ай бұрын

@@manofculture3638 Astarion is not a true vampire though, he is a vampire ascendant by ritual. A living and more powerful form of vampire then a true vampire. Like I said I would rather take my chances with him being true to his word and sharing or being able to take his powers for myself at a later date. Rather then take the chance that I am actually bucking the trend and am still me just with an illithids body and powers, rather then a new born illithid with my memories. Maybe if there was more proof, if I wasn’t the first then I’d be more tempted but otherwise its too much of a risk. You can’t rely on the absorbtion of Orpheus powers as there are two points in the game where you can be turned by getting too close to the absolute even while the emperor is using him to protect you. Meaning even with your evolved tadpole and powers there will always be a chance of a more powerful elder brain then the absolute, or elder brains working together to overcome your control and complete your transformation into a full and true newborn illithid fully under the control of another hive mind. All the power in the world would not make me risk losing myself.
