Good. The path to evil should be easier and more immediately rewarding. Otherwise, no one but sadists and/or idiots would choose evil. Larian should be putting in scenarios where we really really want to use the tadpole, where it's incredibly difficult or maybe even impossible to complete the task otherwise at this time.* Like seen here:
I normally try not to use my tadpole power at all, since I find the scenes with the dream person creepy, but I have to free Shadowheart - not only, because I like her, but also, because I need her in the fight against Commander Zhalk for teh Everburning Blade.
*The "at this time" is important. We shouldn't be fully railroaded, but in this example you'll find SH later, so you're only missing out on approval, dialogue, and I guess an easier time of fighting Zhaik. None of this is a permanent loss of important content, so it's fine, good even.
