@@Danileptic Oh I totally agree! I do t think he’s stupid by any means. I just find it hilarious how bad he is at coming up with any kind of strategy, particularly when it comes to seducing Tav. My boy played himself so hard 😂

I like how, from one predator to another, Astarion is the only one who recognizes that look on your face for what it is (the look of a hungry predator gazing at prey) and is appropriately scared/nervous/freaked out about it. His ability to recognize danger and his instincts for self preservation is second to none.
Oh wow. I only got the Minsc one after making the last minute decision to take the plunge and become a mimdflayer to save everyone else from doing it. I resisted but I love how Withers just banishes you for ruining his party. Also the insult at Astarion 😂
Think about how you would feel if your were hungry and the only food you ate were human brains. That 1. Definitely changes how you relate to all around you as they aren't just other people, they are your sole food source and 2. I imagine dreaming of brains like this as a mindflayer is the equivalent of a human daydreaming about a piece of cake, buffalo wings, a burger, or some other food.
It would definitely change your outlook on people, for sure. Omeluum and the Emperor show that it IS possible for illithids to maintain enough regard for other humanoids to treat them fairly and even with respect, but for most illithids, it is something they never even consider, the same way most people do not give a second thought to the animals they consume for meat. What's more, most illithids are far, FAR more intelligent than regular humanoids, and to them the thought of extending equal rights and status to "mere fodder" would be like us wanting cows, goats, pigs and chickens to be able to vote. Your average 18 Int illithid will be able to ponder concepts and conceive of schemes in 5 different languages (all at the same time) that your average 10 Int peasant could scarcely imagine. And more than that, yes, the need for illithids to consume live brains is a deeply fundamental need. They can, and do, sustain their physical bodies through "regular" (as regular as you might imagine mind flayer food to be like) food on a daily basis, but they also extract psychic nourishment from brains, and this can only be gained through their devouring of intelligent, sapient brains. At a bare minimum, an illithid needs to consume one brain every 2 weeks, and this is the ABSOLUTE minimum to keep from starving. Given the opportunity, most illithids will prefer to feast far more often than that, although even in the largest illithid colonies, most mind flayers will only wind up eating a brain once every week or two, given the difficulty in procuring enough mature brains. Assuming that Illithid Tav decides to remain "Good", they could probably sustain themselves in a manner similar to Astarion, by going out "hunting" every week or so and restricting themselves to Evil humans/humanoids. Goblin brains will suffice, for example, although it would be like sustaining yourself on bland gruel every day in terms of how appetizing it is.
@@Zaxares I think the Zhentarim are a rather diverse range of humanoids/creatures, and seeing as they deal in slaves, I see no problem with illithid Tav/Durge nomming their way through their ranks 🤷♀️ I don’t think they ever state how Omeluum gets his brains, but I think he would be doing it “ethically” and not harming innocents. Plenty of bad guys in the Underdark (including Zhentarim)
@@aspromonte5179 hmm true, I suppose one could gain “variety” from eating different creatures though. Like does it have to be humans or do Kobalds or wolves or other creatures suffice? At least in Faerun there are plenty of humanoid species (elf, human, half-orc, etc) so you could keep a “varied diet” by just hunting for the various “bad guys”.
@@elenalizabeth Oh yes, there's no shortage of evil human/humanoid organizations in Faerun. ;) The Zhentarim, the Red Wizards of Thay, the Shadow Thieves of Amn, Calishite slavers, the pirates of Luskan... And that's without taking into account evil churches like followers of the Dead Three, Lolth, Umberlee etc. The list goes on. XD
@@Gabronthe He's already using True Resurrection whenever he brings a party member back, considering he revives them with full health and doesn't need a body to do it. Resurrecting the party after Tav went on a brain-eating rampage is no problem for Jergal.
Is there a system or something? No matter what I tried who I ended up talking to first, I just always lost control when talking to Haslin. (I'm not in romance with him)

Illithid Tav must be really starving if he gets hungry while looking at Minsc.
They crave for penauts
It’s the low cal option
He'd dine better eating Boo
@@communications23 boo would fuck tav up worse than Withers
"Astarion's sweet brain may be a bit less wrinkled than the rest" 😭😭😭😭 why are they doing him so dirty outta nowhere lmao
In the romance Gale one, Tav can say to Gale “no one is judging your outfit, except for Astarion” 😂
Because Amelia Tyler obviously didn't resist the Urge to troll Niel 😂
Because Astarion is straight up retarded
@@digitaldevil696 I love her outtakes 😂 “why is there so many apostrophes” 😂

In astral plane he probably doesn't get hungry.
He was feasting on the honor guard, he likely wasn't hungry enough to have to resist the urge
I had 8 intelligence, he would have been hungry
His scores are probably intense.
not the narrator calling astarion a smooth brain stooop

Moral of the story...don't fuck up Wither's party or he will do the same to you.

Also the insult at Astarion 😂
I love how theyre hitting poses during the monologue. Like that scene from arrested development about george michaels internal clock.
So i wonder if this is what Karlach as illithid deals with? I thought she seemed happy-ish only eating the brains of dying people, but maybe not 🤔🙁

Oh shoot I was so curious about this. Thanks for doing this!
the skeleton just kicks you out of your own camp
I love how I’m getting both a laugh and a science lesson while watching this 😂
Now all withers needs to do is snap his fingers, bring back everyone back to life, and resume the party
Withers is going to need a lot of gold to bring them back.
Oh shit Withers over here throwing hands
Yesssss you did my idea
Thanks for doing this so we don't have to
tfw I have no inspiration and roll a 1😭
Do you think withers just revives them all?
To rebrain them he would need to use Recarnation or True Resurrection. Both high tasks
@@Gabronthe im sure he's quite capable.
@@Gabronthe Considering it's very heavily alluded Withers is the old god of death, I *THINK* he could work something out, just a guess.

Absolute W for finally doing it with Minthara. The most deserving brain soup
Is there a system or something? No matter what I tried who I ended up talking to first, I just always lost control when talking to Haslin. (I'm not in romance with him)
How many fucking otions this game does have? Im barely on the second run.
soooo many
illithid Tav forget how to fly
I never had the options to eat brains when I showed up to the party as an Illithid. What is needed to prompt this?
I think it is the dialgue choice u make after beating the brain
Omg, how cool! 😮😅
I wonder where he sends you
well that confirms illitid transformation is a bad ending
only if you screw up. Astarion has a similar problem.
Freaky.
Let's be honest no one is going to miss minthara.
