So, starting a new one. This one's purpose is to day that I feel like Larian, as my DM, punishes me for good role playing.

3. I don't use tadpole powers.
Punishment for good roleplaying: I don't meet the dream person at all.
Solution? Make it so that if I rest too much the dream person starts to appear. If I use tadpole powers, they appear faster.
Wow. I've played all content around 7 times completely through now. Of course I have never used the tadpole's powers because that would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.
Only through the comment of the OP I got to know about this at all. Now I also feel like the OP. I've been punished for not playing stupid.
Yup, I also have posted many times in other threads here about being punished for choosing to not use the tadpole powers. As a good-inclined PC, I would NEVER opt to use the tadpole powers, and as a result significant chunks of the game are closed off to me with no offsetting compensation. It is ridiculously bad game design.
You are actively making the choice not to use the tadpole, so not sure how you then think it is bad game design to not have the tadpole dreams or something? Also, why wouldn't a good inclined PC not use the tadpole? Just because you are good does not make you a saint, good people make bad (or possibly bad) choices all the time. I just seems very 1 dimensional of a "good" character to be that good. But if you make the ACTIVE choice of not partaking in a story event, you then can't blame the developers because you don't see the results of using said story event.
