[web search]
There used to be other effects associated with "Volo's Ersatz eye", but they were removed with the full release of the game. With all this in mind - yes, you probably should let Volo go hunting for the parasite in your eye. There's no reputational damage done to your teammates that can't be healed with the right actions later, and the ability to see Invisible creatures for the entire rest of the game can be incredibly useful, ranging from the living Shadows that try to conceal themselves in darkness, to the Baldur's Gate 3 hag that uses invisibility to move about unseen - the eye reveals them all! Volo might've screwed up, but his consolation prize is well worth it - even if the story about how you lost that eye is a little embarrassing.

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and raconteur with a Masters from Sussex University, none of which has actually equipped him for anything in real life. As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games, reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at USgamer, Gfinity, Eurogamer and more besides.
