What I'm wondering is how is the tadpole going to be this big important feature of the game if you just ignore it and never use it? Will Larian just force you to use it sometimes? Or just make the game harder? I can't see how it's going to be rewarding not to use it. You'll essentially be missing out on a bunch of content.
I mean, I guess the idea is precisely to make its use very convenient/appealing on the short term, but with bad consequences on the long run.
Which would be an appropriate incentive both mechanically and thematically.
