Right, taking my moderator hat off, and putting on my BG3 player hat on instead.

I’d also like to see some additional options with this quest that might have different implications later in the game, perhaps including an alliance with the Shadow Druids in Cloakwood, where I think we’re given to understand Olodan came from and who I think some note or other tells us are concerned by brewing trouble in the region (presumably the Absolute and/or mindflayers). As has been mentioned, that would also have fun echoes of BG1.

Most of the alternative ways this quest could perhaps go have already been covered, but I’m not sure anyone has yet explicitly said that we should be given the option to roleplay a druid who is already a Shadow Druid when kidnapped, as well as one who has sympathy with their cause but hasn’t yet joined up. I would very much want that to be possible.
