I can't stop role playing (swg-empire.de)

I'm currently on my honour run and much to my dismay I can't stop role playing. I'm playing a Githyanki monk. So far I've staked Astarion, dismissed Gale and refused all Illithid powers. All because it made sense for my character. And apart from Astarion these are things that can be quite useful with the increased difficulty.

I'm curious how this will influence my choice of companions down the line. I've never taken the later ones with me. At least not for an extended period.

I'm probably not alone with this "problem", right?

STAKED? I thought you meant STALKED, and was wondering how that was kinda cute. OMG.

I've resisted all urges to give into the illithid powers in my first playthrough. It's much harder to roleplay an evil character, I've found.

I've always loved the idea of dangling a golden carrot in front of the protagonist, only for it to be a poison chalice at the end. I'm still not sure what the illithid powers will do in the endgame (though I'm in act 3 and will find out soon enough!).
