After thinking a bit more about the situation with the fishermen at the start... the current scenario would mean the Mindflayer is trying to eat and kill the tadpole that he implanted in you.
Which doesnt make any sense at all. And it kills a "true soul" - and if it feeds and gets up it also attacks your companion-s, which also have tadpoles and its game over.
If it needs food to recover it already has those fishermen, and that would actually be a more logical problem the player would need to solve. After they manage to partially uncover the Mindflayer from debris it orders one of them to bend down so he can eat their brain - and the player then has to choose whether to let it happen, or not.
Im not sure what would happen after if the player chooses to allow that, but the writers should have more info about further planned details of the overall plot so they would be able to figure such consequences better.
I know we find that Mindflayer later on in the game in the current scenario, even if its dead. In my current playthrough i decided to avoid that encounter for a long time to see if anything will change, and it does. When i eventually returned there was no Mindflayer body or the fishermen there, just some Illithid blood, so...it managed to escape.
Also, why the Githyanaki patrol doesnt land near the crushed Nautiloid but instead way off? They are searching for an artifact that is supposedly on the ship. And they seem pretty unconcerned about being discovered by anyone.
- edit-
Oh yeah, i let Astarion drink all the blood he wants from my character until i blacked out. Then i woke up perfectly fine, full HP and found Shadowheart dead instead.
Resurrected her and she had no comment about it either. Didnt notice a thing.
