Anyone else underwhelmed by the new tadpole mechanic? I mean, I liked the temptation of being given unique or powerful options during the adventure so that good or neutral characters would be tempted to use the tadpole despite the risks.
But instead the option is now to cram your head full of worms?!? I feel like that takes so much away. Only the most depraved characters would take that route. Sure that makes sense on a Dark Urge kind of play through but it leaves things kind of underwhelming for any halfway sane character.
Yeah, I’m not keen on this change. Will reserve final judgement until I actually play the game and we see the changes to the Guardian (the dream character) they made, but it felt a lot easier to “fall to temptation” when it was just an almost guaranteed beneficial dialogue option that you could pick instead of literally shoving more brain eating parasites into your eye.
I’m hopeful that both will exist, but who knows. Use the 'poles too much, get weird dreams and certain, pre-set powers. But you could have so much more if you were willing to speed the process along…
