One thing I dislike about the game is how Withers and a lot of other sources claim that Illithads have no souls.
But, that is not true. There are multiple sources from actual DnD monster manuals that state that Illithads and mindflayers do have souls.
It kinda feels like they were trying to have their cake and eat it to. Like, do you keep your soul and personality, like with the emperor, or do you just become a mindless thrall?
Also, I made an entire thread about how if you stop and think about it for 2 seconds, The Emperor and Orpheus could have sorted things out diplomatically because both sides need each other to beat the greater threat, and both sides are reasonable, up until the point where you are forced to choose between them with no way to alter or make them trust each other or anything.
One other big peeve I have is that none of the characters in act 3 think to say : "Hey, I know another mindflayer that works for the society of science. His name is Omeluum, he is a really chilled squid, why don't we go grab him, and not have to force someone to turn into a mind flayer?"
