Why did Omeluum trigger hardcore DnD fans so much?
>>738458938mindflayers are all evil without exception
>>738458938Pretty sure that he didn't from what I've seen people love him, he probably just triggered you
40 year old balding losers don't want nuance in the monsters they play pretend with in their role playing game, and as a matter of fact they want their standard for how a fictional monster should behave to be a global rule applied to the entirety of the planet earth for other people playing pretend - that's right, they want the entire world to go along with their delusion
>>738459167Evil alignment != not on your side in an RPGAnd Mindflayers who get by some accident 'disconnected' from the brain network and fucking off to do their own thing has been done before in novelsSo I'd guess they balk at tentacle sex bc homo-bear was one of the sacrosanct LGBT topic that would made then appear Chud adjunct to argue against
>>738459449>you can't have bad guys because you just can't!kill yourself
>>738459449gas all mindflayersinject elder brains with ricin
>>738459972He didn't say that, and the remaining mindflayers (including the one that's allied with you) are still evil
>>738458938This is the first Ive heard of this supposed controversy. I remember non evil mind flayers back in the 90s. Shitty early 3d game called Descent into Undermountain had a friendly one chilling in the Yawning Portal. So it wasn't unheard of even back then.
>>738460397Well uhh you see you need engagement with your thread to have it popular on /v/ so you post something aggravating to anyone who scrolls past
>>738460397It was, that game was shit, and everyone panned it for being shit. It is literally regarded as the worst D&D game ever made.
>>738458938>I'm on your side>WE HAVE TO DO WHAT I SAY TO KILL THE BIG BRAIN>WHAT YOU DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO ME?! THAT'S IT IM JOINING THE BRAIN
>>738460720That has nothing to do with Omelum, you retarded poser
>>738460720Larian cant write
>>738459682Just because someone's current goals happen to align with yours doesn't mean you shouldn't wipe their evil stain of a life off the face of reality. You'd make for a shitty hero, without conviction. Evil is evil and must be purged when and where it rears its ugly head.>oh I'm just using the mindflayer to further my righteous goals Yeah and every second it continues to draw breath is more evil and death that seeps into the lives of the innocent, both on and off screen, making you complicit in any further deaths because you made an ignorant choice to allow the evil to persist.Also more XP for me. XP is a zero sum game.Retard
>>738460720Low IQ post
>>738460816I know that retard, I'm making fun of the writing in the game. Fucking melanin enriched freak.
>>738460662It was shit because it was utter jank and felt awful to play. Nobody was upset about the mind flayer.
>>738460720>Anon realizes he's being used by a mind flayer 3 years laterGood thing you're too retarded to get your brain eaten nigga
>>738460875>ou'd make for a shitty heroExcuse you? Who that fuck played bg3 as hero? That would mean leaving a gaybear alive and hot drow ded, at least in the first release version.
>>738461579>hot drow
>>738461736shes got a nice ass and a beautiful innie pussy
>>738460720Kek, yea...
>>738460720Love how many low IQ fags triggered.
>>738462053I hope so becuase they scanned a man's face.
>>738458938They look stupid as fuck in the DnD universe desu. Space squids? Really nigger?

>>738460875How do you define evil?
>>738461257>A random minor NPC in a bad game almost nobody played, and those that did play didn't finish didn't gain attentionRight, it was unheard of, nobody was aware of it's existence. I literally overheard a man at my local game store saying in a firm tone "Orcs cannot be good. They are spawned in pits as servants of dark gods."
>>738458938there is no reason omeluum couldn't help you subdue the absolute after you ditched the emperor.
>>738459449>>738459682mindflayers are deliberately made to be evil>>738462317so, evil in DnD terms can best be thought of as selfishness that can easily go to certain extremes.An "evil" aligned person does things regardless of how it effects other people and things, because of purely selfish desires.For a chaotic type that can be pretty straightforward>murdering puppies is hilarious!or>I want supreme powerlawful evil meanwhile might be more about working within a set of rules, be it personal or legal... but again in potentially psychopathic selfishness, without regard for morals.So where does this get us with mindflayers?They inherently see every other form of intelligent life as lesser and food.A creature that with the slightest of effort they can reach out and manipulate and twist to their desires.They are, without exception, supposed to be megalomaniacal, egotistic, with a massive sense of self-importance.This is all something that is meant to be racially INHERENT to them regardless of their civilization and connection to some big brain network.They are eldritch beings that were very carefully written to be intolerantly incompatible with anyone else.To them, it is their destiny to rule over everything because they are superior to everything.
To continue on what mindflayers are like and why they are so fucked up you would not be able to partner up with one (without needing to backstab it lest YOU be backstabbed)mindflayers don't care much about the past, only the present. your history with one means little; only what you can offer NOW matters.And if that is as a meal or as a puppet then guess what will happen?They don't feel normal emotions either.They are restricted to mostly negative emotions to drive them forwards.They can only feel happy, or something like that, when eating someone's brain.All of these things create a creature that is so fucked up and FIXED to a twisted and dark path that you would need to be insane and twisted, or truly desperate to cooperate with one in any capacity.
>>738460720Emperor is my favorite character. What a great villain, his self-righteous, self-serving hypocrisy as he tries to gas light you in increasingly contrived ways every time you see through them is beautiful.
>>738464872>villainhe's an evil sack of self-serving shit but he's literally on your side and wants the brain gone though.
>>738466035And yet you can't convince him to remain on your side while doing quite possibly the best option for both sides. (Freeing the Gith Prince)Nope. Gotta turn someone in your party into a Mindflayer when you could have just convinced Emperor. Fuck that shit.
Didn't care about Omeluum. For me, it's there not being any story consequences for consuming mind flayer parasites. I get it, you made a gameplay system focused around letting your brain get eaten by them, but fuck that shit.
>>738466035Just because the villain joins your party, doesn't mean he can't still be the villain
>>738467207correct. he's a villain. I stand corrected
