I just saw a quote from Larian, that amounted to "you guys have no idea what we have in store for you"
Im pretty sure I do... and I am I a bit concerned Larian thinks its more clever than it is.
The player is already a mind flayer, and so is everyone else... there is no going back, because our brains have been fully replaced by the tadpole already. We just dont look like a Mind Flayer, and we are operating off the memories of the person whose body we stole.
Like thats the plot twist right? thats the thing you will drop on us in the middle of the last act, and be like "how do you feel knowing you are the shadoooooow of a persoooon oooooohhhhhhhhh spoopy woah you arent you woah"
I very much doubt that will be the plot twist honestly. And if it was you can come back and be smug about it :P
There seems to be a story line with the cult in the area and IIRC the book (escape from Avernus I think?) that took place jjust prior to BG3. Theres bound to be tie ins and plothooks from that angle as well. That said there seem to be several story lines running through the area and its currently hard to see which is tied into the overall story and which ones are tied to the area that we get to play in.
