Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion The hunt for the artefact. How did it come in our possession ? Plotholes. Massive Spoilers.

But in Table Top what they Did its Pretty Normal..
Mindflayers Kinda do this indeed..
they went and Steall People from Citys..
and sometimes hide Colonys inside this cities to Turn evrybody into Squid...
(like they Did with the Emperor.. when he tells yu about his Past.)

In the Underdark playing Table Top..
yu can Find Many colonies and the Drow and Duergar actually went against then all the Time..
(just give a Try on Mezonberanzza Stuff.. trust me the Underdark its Pretty amazing.)

and they Just Deep Down on doing this Kind stuff even Harder..
Becouse of the Failure that was the Grand Designe..
(the only Thing out of sense here in my opinion is the Ship. becouse since the Grand Designe like Olmellun tells yu.. He never saw one.. and indeed they are Pretty Rare to Find..)

Maybe its for increase the Stake in the Game but i never Understood How they Find that Ship even so that they are Mindflayers.. so they were some Colony From outside Earth ??
Becouse in Table Top the Gith and Squid People are all around the Planes and Other Planets..
(Like they are the Space Dudes from Dungeons and Dragons..)
Hence why the Ships and Flying Dragons.

Im not the Smartest Guy in the Roon when it Comes to True Lore.. But somethings i do Remember pretty Well
Becouse my Gm made me Eat the Tale for his Games.
(another Crazy Curiosity.. The Gith Teoretically were Humans Changed a Lot by the Squids with inbreed and stuff like that and turn into the Gith we know.)
