Huh. I've never encountered "Daisy" so I've always assumed she's a character in act 2 onwards, though recently I concluded she was just someone I've managed to miss much like Karlach, who I now actively went back to find. Obviously I'm playing the game wrong
In Early Access, you only encountered them if you kept using your illithid wisdom checks. Now I guess, bets are off!
But while I'm on the topic of illithid wisdom checks, the DC to break SH out of her pod in the build I played was 2. Implying to me that we are going to get harder illithid checks as the game progresses. It was always a bit weird in EA that we were rolling checks with 0 DC.
To me it always made a perfect sense and felt like an emergency button when all other scenarios seemed grim. It is exactly the type of moment when you can appeal to your darker and costlier powers as the last resort. If checks become progressively harder, at one point you won't even think about taking the illithid option in favor of others, unless you are doing some crazy roleplay stuff.
