Spoilers, obviously.

In bg3 the big bad were 3 people that controlled an elder brain, which is a mindflayer "parent" of sorts. Which then frees itself and gets empowered by the nether crown becoming a netherbrain. It's very much about using the mindflayer technology to control people by halting their transformation into mind flayers so that they can act as spies, but the moment the nether brain got free it became a fight against it and a lot of mind flayers.

So the plot does revolve around mindflayers.

Right, so circling back.

They used mind flayers for bg3 (sort of).

That's not what sort of means. Sort of means that they did not use them fully, and that's just not true when there's not only several of them, but they are a major plot point.

Would you say "there's violence (sort of)"? No, there's lots of violence, no "sort of" involved.

But the statement was in response to using mindflayers as the main antagonist. Or the big bad. Which we both agree, they were not. So whilst they were a big part of the plot they were not the main bad guy and so....

To circle back

They were used in bg3 (sort of)

Edit: also sort of doesnt mean "they didnt use them fully" it means they weren't the big bad but they were very closely linked. The big bad was the netherbrain alongsode gortash. Not the mind flayers. You can look that up.

Wgen the final boss is a mindflayer(s) then come back to me and let me know. Until then, dont tell me what i meant when i said sort of....
