...You would have to be criminally insane to side with the Cult of the Absolute in Act 1, wouldn't you? Everyone there wants to kill you and there's not even an offer of them helping with the tadpole. What kind of character wants to get kicked around by a bunch of backstabbing assholes for a chance to turn into an illithid?
Honestly I think I might be having more fun bullying all the "good guys" as a drow character. But then again, sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach on evil options in games.
(I am still in Act1 and haven't played early access, so mark spoilers please!)
