Check out the Neolithids. THAT would be an interesting development

One of the few unique & truly interesting races in the D&D franchise. Up there with Beholders in terms of creativity. They where by far the most memorable enemy in the Neverwinter Nights expansion Hordes of The Underdark. Looking forward to experience the full story with these in BG3.

Just wanted to say, I've watched pretty much all of your videos and you do a fantastic job. I've been around DnD since v3.5, but getting a refresher on 5 and all of the lore/history has been awesome. Your content is definitely appreciated!

Always thought the mind flayers were interesting monsters and been curious about how they live as a society. I was so excited when I found out that they were taking center stage in this game! Especially the dynamic of being implanted by them! Didn't know alot of this stuff :) great video! 👌

Just one comment near the end: The Mindflayer Arcanist is considered a freak, mutant, and dangerous abberant in Mindflayer society. Magic is looked down upon as vastly inferior to psionics, and any mindflayer who would pursue such is considered a defect. If we see something like that, they may or may not be an ally, or at least something we could leverage against the main enemy. I really hope Larian Studios includes tid-bits like that.

The ultimate creepy evil villain! That one mindflayer in EA who the party asks for help must've broken away. After watching only a few of your lore videos I realized the opening scene had quite a bit in it. Gonna watch it again after I see as many lore vids as possible.... cool! Much appreciated!

i remember in baldrur's gate 2 the best way for me to kill the mind flayers was to summon skeletons that were immune to their attacks

Damn, the Mind Flayer stats are fearsome offensively ! But looks like a single one can relatively "quickly" be killed (you know, do 70 damage as a party versus AC15). In BG2, you really *had* to kill them fast before they reached you in melee, as they drained 5 Intelligence points per attack!!! They were the scourge of Minsc and Boo (except when he Raged I think).

It will be interesting to see if Larian actually follows the Monster Manual Mind Flayer. The Mind Flayers seem to be such an important part of the game, maybe Larian will buff them or even add new abilities.

Did not know the lore of the Duergar : respect for their self-liberation (!), though you don't want to encounter them as such.

Would be interesting if they included a redeemed/Change of heart mind flayer as a playable race with a unique skill paths in psionics in a DLC

Great villains. Very exciting.

I hope they put in more than just mind flayers and tadpoles. Anybody remember the Neothelids? Those would be an interesting introduction 🙃

Old video but the Gith remind me of the Ur Quan from the Star Control games. Both of them were mentally dominated and rose up to kill their oppressors. Both of them experienced an ideological schism that split the race in two. Both of them circled the galaxy and met up on the other side to murder... Oh wait that's just the Ur Quan.

Mindflayers don't see themselves as bad guys. To them, the world is chaos and they're bringing the "gift" of order by making what they deem as inferior species all fall in line. They also actually take really good care of thier slaves in general, and believe they are legitimately doing them a favor. Most mindflayers even end up with favorites amoung their slaves and get really attached to them like pets. They'll mourn the loss of their favorites

You know your a special kind of asshole if your worst then demons and devils

just cast a wand of cloudkill and close the door

I'm pretty sure a typical mindflayer is about the same size as a human. The 7ft and 8ft mindflayers are considered to be special and treated as demigods and not commonly seen by anyone outside of mindflayer society

Sooo.. they're the Cthulu race

Considering the personality we create at the start of the game would become fairly pointless, and we would just turn into a brain-guzzling murderer - it's not likely. That said, creative devs can always find ways around obstacles like that. We may come upon a special item or magic that allows us to transform between flayer and regular humanoid form, or otherwise subdues the negative effects of being a mind flayer and allow us greater free will and the potential for a differing sense of morality than that of other illithids. Or turning into a mind flayer could be a 'bad ending' or a failure state triggered by not removing it in time. Lots of possibilities, but they'd have to get very creative to allow people to play as them in this storyline without breaking lore or having to create entire droves of separate content that regular non-mind-flayer characters wouldn't have access to.

So are you enjoying the game? Your review was kinda like … yeah it’s good but…”

Is all this lore from the D&D monster book?
