Even though players can do almost anything in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, there are a few instances where your choices feel pretty limited. One of those situations is choosing whether you accept more tadpoles into your brain or whether you steer clear of them entirely. Adding more tadpoles will give the player some pretty good buffs, but many refuse to take part, for fear that the ending will be directly affected. However, one player has shared their regret regarding this choice, showing the true repercussions of this key decision. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player shares true repercussions of using tadpoles Posting onto Reddit, one user shared how they \u201csaved up all my tadpoles cause I thought to myself \u2018why would I implement more tadpoles into my brain if I\u2019m desperate for a cure\u2019 so I didn\u2019t.\u201d Naturally, many other players feel the same, often questioning why they would make a situation worse while looking for the cure. However, the user then explained how \u201c132 hours later after finishing the game: it doesn\u2019t even influence the plot and I missed out on a cool feature.\u201d Sharing their frustration and regret to the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, it was clear the entire community understood their plight. Some slammed BG3, explaining how \u201cThe game does a really good job of scaring you out of using tadpoles early on for some reason. I wish this choice had more impact on the game outside of not having to perform a Wisdom check sometime along the way\u2026\u201d Others expressed their shock regarding the decision, including one key choice made at the end of Act 2: \u201cYeah, I was super surprised that the partial Ilithid thing didn\u2019t have more consequences.\u201d While most shared their surprise, others chose to succumb to the tadpole temptation and shared with the community the power of that decision: \u201cGlad I didn\u2019t because I found the powers to be useful, especially Cull the Weak, Psionic Backlash, Luck of the Far Realms and Charm.\u201d Such powers can be extremely useful in boss fights, but it\u2019s understandable to see many players shocked that the choice makes no difference narratively. Choosing not to put more tadpoles into your characters\u2019 brains is something many players have done, but now it seems that more players will opt for power after realizing it has so few repercussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player regrets not using crucial buffs out of fear of story repercussions Larian StudiosTons of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players choose to avoid adding more tadpoles to their brains, but one fan has shared how they regret making this decision \u2014 highlighting the key buffs you miss out on for little to no [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20264\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
