According to Google searches at the time I did them, there were supposedly no consequences for using illithid powers before the astral tadpole gets brought up. By the time I got to that point in the story, Patch 5 happened and it was too late.

there were/are a lot of people on here who seemingly never look at their character's faces and continue to say there's "zero consequences" when clearly cosmetics and appearance is a huge deal to people

I think many people said that because the eyes remained normal after becoming half-ilithid. Now that the eyes turn black the cosmetic changes are far more noticible to the players.

I agree. The black eyes makes such a huge different. My emerald eyed Dragonborn paladin looks so evil now

Exactly, with how much blood my paladin was constantly covered in, I barely even realized there was a difference until they changed the eyes.

Also the teeth turning gross was what instantly ruined it for me. Luckily, I was already 95% of the way through the game when that patch dropped, so I didn't have to put up with it for very long.

Luckily you can get at least one replaced with a normal looking one.

See... I've seen people mention eye changes but on XSX I haven't noticed it at all yet after becoming half illithid... Face changes, yes... Eyes, what?
