Yeah but even that is pointless because there are literally zero consequences to accepting the Astral Tadpole! Even though you're half Illithid supposedly it all kinda just goes away in the happy ending. I don't get it.

Wait you can go half? I took it and became a full on mindflayer immediately. Was this changed in patches?

As I recall there are two decisions. First you get the choice of the Astral Tadpole, which opens the outer ring of mindflayer powers and gives you black veins in your face and the status "half-Illithid".

Later - as part of the ending - you can decide to become a full on mindflayer, because for some arbitrary narrative reason the mcguffin can only be operated by one.
