I'm more interested if the game will let you approach the relationship with the tadpole differently. The character I intend to run with first is a scholarly sort with a fascination with Aberrations and Monstrosities. It's up his alley to experiment with the tadpole for academic purposes up to a certain point. I'll probably dabble with the Illithid powers. Hopefully without going so far his mind is irreparable. But it'd be nice if there was dialogue for using the tadpole that wasn't "I CRAVE MORE POWER!!!!"
The blog did say we can use that power to save Faerun, so I think it'll be less black and white than many here are assuming. You can use the tadpole on your good Tav runs too.
