Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Game Over

[Spoilers Ahead]

I love the game so I am starting a dark urge play through. I am starting over for the third time because I now realize there is no way for me to reach Act III without playing as evil or a fool.
When I reached the Astral Plane as a rogue I felt compelled to kill the mind flayer since I was romancing Lae'zel (and because he is a mind flayer). But the githyanki wrecked me before I could, so I re-loaded with the plan of killing the Githyanki first. After the Githyanki fell the game automatically ended combat. I confess I did not try to kill the mind flayer immediately after but planned to kill him later. Instead I shelved that playthrough. My working plan is to kill everyone since there seems to be no other "good" outcome.
My second playthrough is a cleric who has sworn an oath to take Wyvern Poison if I feel myself turning into a mind flayer. Obviously I cannot ally myself with a mind flayer who is encouraging me to feed my brain to worms. This is preposterous.
In general the game feels like it really wants me to be evil. It's funnier to be evil, I get it, but I prefer to play as good. I like the game and always planned to see the dark urge, but it is very disappointing that it won't let me finish as a good character.
I wonder it it is only me or if other people are struggling with this.
