The lack of rewards/consequences to the evil storyline are significant reasons why it is so lacking rn.
I'm fine with a evil parties getting a super powerful object in addition to the gloves, shield and amulet that are for evil parties. But the tadpole powers are not minor. Are you not developing your absolute powers? I don't think you say those powers are separate from evil playthrough. Give in, seek power and be rewarded.
Hmmm I'm not sure if I would classify using the tadpole powers as evil... Who is harmed by me using the tadpole?
Is there a part in the game that explains the Absolute/big evil powers are growing stronger because of your use of the tadpole? (Actual question. If so, I missed it). I'm operating under the assumption that, because the tadpole insertion process was interrupted, my character is at least mostly free from any of these effects...?
Using the tadpole is probably a dumb and/or arrogant thing to do, but not necessarily evil. If you mind control/read thoughts your companions, sure that's evil. But if you use the tadpole powers to infiltrate the goblin camp to save the Grove? I could see an argument for that being for the Greater Good
