At this point, I yearn for evil orcs and goody elves instead of the perpetual subversion of expectations we have right now.

I still hate BG3 with a passion for ruining the Illitthid

What did they do to the illithids? Are they no longer creatures obsessed with enslaving the minds of huge colonies of thralls to do their bidding and to occasionally serve as snacks when their brains are litterally sucked out through their ears or eye sockets?

They gave them sex.

No, really.

Comment from 2 months ago when this was also brought up.

Mindflayer sex doesn't exist! Illithid reproduce by eating the brains of other sentients whilst implanting their tadpoles into the brains of yet more other sentients! When a mindflayer is old enough its brain gets removed and put into a large paddling pool where it then spawns the aforementioned tadpoles, there is no sex at any stage of this lifecycle, only mind rape and mind eating!

They took what was an actual alien, horrifying, and inherently parasitic species and turned them into yet another misunderstood race with different cultures.

...

THEY LITERALLY EAT YOUR BRAIN!
