I dare to disagree here a little ...
I mean it would not make sence in common aspect, but in our situation? I dont see any problem in our weapons lay next to the pod ...
I mean if Githyanki would not attack the Nautiloid, we would be magicaly paralized in our pods and there was nothing we could do to get to those weapons, if i get Lae'zel confused look after her pod was opened right, we were even unconcious while they were closed.
Sure, Mind Flayers do have slaves who could clean up ... but since they are not even walking on the floor, there is litteraly zero reason for them (except compulsive urge to clean up ... wich they obviously dont have, since they didnt clean up those corpses around
) to collect those weapons and get them elsewhere.
I mean sure, it may seem like classical "bad guy make stupid decision that turned against him" scenario ...
And honestly i agree with you that there is no need to "collect" weapons if we will have them one second after game starts.
But i would not mind either, bcs i dont think any of those options would be categorized as "do not make sence" ...
And totally agree with that option to explain weapons, that is great opourtunity larian should not miss.
