? I fully understand why the evil path in this game so far needs real narrative work. I'd be surprised if Larian wasnt intending to further flesh it out.
I was just at a loss reading Kanisatha repeatedly state BG's hero choosing to live as a literal avatar of evil does not constitute that ending as evil. You quoted my thinking.
Kanisatha is saying that because being a god is actually a management job with very strict rules to follow if you don't want to lose said job. PCcharname just become one more evil god among many evil gods and they are not a greater deity which means having to serve another god too. The Forgotten Realms pantheon is a bureaucracy.
That's actually the story of the Dead Three. They believe they would achieve great power by becoming gods and rule the realms. They discovered it was crappy management and couldn't do anything. Then they plotted to free themselves from the rules which only got them dead and replaced...Now they are back, but apparently refused to follow the rules still and were cast down.
The setting is actually Order/Law vs Chaos. The Absolute is clearly Chaotic. The Priest of Maglubiyet as an interesting conversation about it, saying that the Absolute is breaking tradition about gods. That's why it is "evil", it's chaos.
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)
Not said straight up, but the narration says it takes something from you and it doesn't appear to be brain part so that means soul chunks...and that's power.
