That just sounds lame. There's no way in hell that's the plot of the game. Besides, if the player was a mind flayer then why would other mindflayers be hostile and try to kill them?

It's going to end up with Bhall at some point. Because he's yet to ressurect. He'll find a way somehow. Then we finally finish him in a boss fight (or talking sense into him or something). This will happen after the absolute storyline though. The absolute themselves are tools of a larger power at play. As are the mind flayers. Gith attacking the ship. A hunt for the artifact. Demons involved. Someone is playing all sides here. There's simply too much going on at once for this to be down to one side alone. The absolute themselves will turn out to be some cult (if a powerful one. But still small time). Then the larger power at play will start to reveal itself.

And keep in mind what the bhall ability was like in BG2. It's basically like the tadpole. It's "inside of you". The tadpole then could be an experiment to try and create tools. Be it to commit murder, steal or whatever else. That wouldn't just benefit Bhall. That ends up benefiting basically anyone. This also explains Shadowheart a bit more. Who herself is blindly serving a goddess. Hmm... Someone pulling the strings to control the gods where you actually have to revive Bhall to stop them could be interesting. That would be a plot twist. Think of it like the first Dawn of War game. Wars happen. Blood gets spilt. You're doing the killing anyway. So it's quite possible Bhall can be ressurrected accidently. With the tadpoles serving as a sort of focus for it.

Kind of like this.
