That's my main beef with BG3 (though it didn't start with BG3 at all): Illithids are boring to me. I've been sick of them since the 90s and they rarely ever do anything new/interesting as much as show up and pretty much hijack any story they're in until they eventually go away again and I don't get anything fun out of their presence. They're knockoff Lovecraft in a way that's just unpleasant and tedious to me.
