We get an early encounter that shows we have power over people through the tadpole. So...
I think a good story hook could be the promise of mastering that power, and if we wish, rising through the ranks. As a minimum, I mean. Larian would just have to add two conversation and the ability to ask questions on each (add deception checks or searching their mind since you potentially distrust them. Bonus points!).
Such a solution is just very low effort, but it improves the story massively.
Of course, potential magic items, gold or an artefact like the robbed Idol of sylvanus would strenghten it further. A new route to moonrise towers would make it an actual valid path. We could get a tadpole power out of it.
However, I would be satisfied with just adding the dialogue if Larian doesn't want to spend resources on it. I understand we can't have every story path highly developed. The story does /need/ fixing, however. The writing feels so incomplete.
