Letting the Hag take your eye she tells you the magic is Netherese shadow magic. Yet talking to Halsin about it never lets you mention it. Its still just "some" magic.

I’m in two minds about this. Yes, it might be nice if the game reflected what we’ve learned elsewhere, but given the variety of different orders we can do things in I suspect this could make the dialogue trees hideously complicated and make other things I’d like to see, such as voiced protagonists, more costly and unlikely. I’m happy to restrict additional or changed dialogue to cases where it really matters. For example, if all that Halsin could be expect say about the fact that Netherese shadow magic is involved is “Huh, interesting, but I don’t know what to make of that,” then I’m not sure there’s any point in having dialogue with him about it. But if a character has insight to offer, that’s a different matter.

Well, certainly not ALL information has to affect every conversation. But aren't we on a quest to determine the nature of the tadpoles to see how to get rid of them? The information that it was altered by netherese shadowmagic is kinda vital. You know who uses shadowmagic? yes, Sharrans and Netherese. Also most Netherese do worship which god? Well...Shar. Where did the Shadow curse on the land come from? Sharrans shadow magic.
So i might think that telling Halsin about that would create some link between Shar and the Mindflayers. Which could mean a number of things. Especially regarding that Gith Artifact we have. A Shar Priestess is tasked to bring it to BG, yet Shar and the Netherese are somehow involved with this Absolute plot. Shadowheart should have been under the Absolutes sway by now. Soooo....her task to bring it to BG might acutally be given by the Absolute.
Just speculation on my side though wink
