+1 i agree with most of the other points ppl here have provided in terms of better reasons to join the absolute. i also have a hard time envisioning why any of the character concepts i have in mind would be inclined to side with the parasitic tadpole attached to my brain. i wanna say astarion is the only companion who isnt totally opposed to having the tadpole given his personal issues, but i could be wrong - the tadpole gives me big time yeerk vibes from animporhs and i just dont trust it, lol
