It was very bad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The hints ended up quite opaque. In the epilogue of D:OS2, your party member Fane can mention that octopuses are secretly plotting, and the necromancer Tarquin talks about &#8220;a mysterious race from another world\u2014beings that <em>feed on minds<\/em>.&#8221; Both are references to mind flayers, but not ones you&#8217;d notice unless you were looking for them. In retrospect, the jars of mind maggots scattered around D:OS2 also seem like nods to the tadpoles of BG3.<\/p>\n<p>Tarquin the necromancer also brings up &#8220;Gustavchen&#8221;, the written language of the beings from another world. In development, BG3 was called Project Gustav after the name of Vincke&#8217;s dog, which is why the default name for the player-character is &#8220;Tav&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The references go both ways. In BG3, there are a couple of nods to Tarquin&#8217;s worldhopping adventure. A letter from the cleric Lenore De Hurst to the wizard Lorroakan discusses a man named &#8220;something with a T and Q&#8230; Tuqueen?&#8221; who uses strange magic, and a note in the House of Grief also describes him, going by the name &#8220;Marco Creenn&#8221;, which is an anagram of necromancer. After that the trail goes dry, and perhaps he returned home to Rivellon.
