Should I Let the Emperor Evolve Me in Baldur’s Gate 3?
Letting the Emperor evolve you in Baldur’s Gate 3 grants powerful illithid abilities and opens a more aggressive, psionically-focused playstyle. It is usually best for players who want maximum power, enjoy morally gray or evil roleplay, and are comfortable with story consequences tied to that transformation. It is generally worth avoiding if you want to preserve your character’s humanity, keep companion approval high, or pursue endings and alliances that depend on rejecting illithid power.
