Like if you go full tadpole as a Gnome, do you end up as a pint sized Illithid?

I just thought about this, and if so I need to start a new playthrough immediately!

From /all as a Linux user, I was very confused wtf you were asking.

Still confused, but I have context now at least.

Same, I was thinking “gnome isn’t THAT hard to use, maybe they’re having config issues?” then I read the community it was asked in.

I’m not a frequent Linux user, and I play bg3 a lot. My first thought was the distro and I had to reread it

Shame that Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t have any one-armed Herdazian jokes

Can I even make a one-armed character? That really would be something

No, its the same character model as a normal Mind Flayer. At least it was a few months ago when I did it but I doubt they’ve changed it since then

In D&D Faerun canon? I’m not sure.

In BG3, I’d wager that they all use the same illithid model.

I seem to recall in Act 3 after a certain point:

Tap for spoiler

Seeing random citizens all getting transformed after having all the macguffins when I fast travelled. Gnomes and dwarves both got the tall illithid model.

Yes but also no. Ceremorphosis only truly succeeds on certain kinds of species, generally only those of the human sized variety and a few kinds of monster. Gnomes can be technically transformed but only through heavy magic manipulation and there is still a chance of failure. All others just die along with the tadpole
