A part of me still wants to believe in the theory that they are pushing their more evil-aligned or weird mechanics so people know they can play something else than plain good and sane and still have fun. Considering how repulsive these parasite bodyhorror things can be, I wouldn't be surprised if they want to make it look as cool as possible so people even really contemplate the choice, they said people tend to choose the good paths before. Given that the release is not even 48 hours away I'll wait and see how it now plays out but there's also no chance of my character somehow consuming tadpoles.

To be honest, there needs to be a major twist for me to even consider doing that on normal or good characters, I just personally find the thought so revolting, I want that thing out! Disintegrate me, douse the ashes in Praziquantel and cast True Resurrection if you must! They've often said how choice matters and how there are reactions hidden behind unexpected actions, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now as this abstinence path seems obvious, but I really do understand the doubts. We just have to wait a little longer and see.
