[fantadomat]

I can't remember anything about NWN2, but I'm pretty sure there are some mind flayers.

Also, obligatory Divinity Original Sin 3 joke.

 

[DraQ]

Also, RPGCodex has some intellect devourers but fighting them is futile.

Pools of Darkness

[Wunderbar]

Demon's Souls.

 

[Bigg Boss]

Sunless Sea I guess. Not much of a RPG though.

 

[Dorateen]

Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager has a fantastic Underdark sequence where you can trash a mind flayer colony, including its elder brain.

I remember playing NWN1's HotU expansion and encountering a shitload of mindflayers that were neutral to my party -- a whole community of them in fact -- and I was told by EVERYONE that they were utterly something to be feared so I was nervous among them. Then I pissed them off somehow and they all attacked me. Bracing for the worst and prepared to make a run for it, I turned to fight as they zapped me left and right with their mind-controlling bullets. I killed them all in approximately one minute with not so much as a soiled codpiece in my party. I was like "WTF?" Did the game just bug out on me? Turns out I just happened to have a player character and companions that were all immune to mind magic. When I replayed HotU years later and encountered that same community with the same C&C, it took just one mindflayer to turn my entire party against itself and we were all self-murdered within a minute. What goes around comes around.

Currently playing through D&D Tactics, a 3.5E turn-based tactics game, and there's an optional gauntlet that contains an encounter with 5 Mind Flayers:

Spoiler

Survive the Mind Flayers and an encounter with 5 Beholders is the reward.

Just put a helmet on with a controller in your hand and watch Stranger Things. Maybe dress in your bathrobe cinched with tow rope.

LARP away. life is but a dream

Mindflayers are in MotB. I can't remember if you fight them, but one definitely appears at the hag part.

 

[Tytus]

I think that even in the NWN OC you actually fight an Intellect Devourer.

D&D Tactics for PSP, a decently faithful representation of 3.5e D&D in the form of a turn based tactics game. It's got a bunch of issues, mostly stemming from the bizarre platform choice of a PSP over a PC for this genre of game, but I'm finding it decent enough to want to complete the campaign. PPSSPP runs it flawlessly.

PPSSPP runs it flawlessly.

The game features the core character classes from the 3.5 Player's Handbook: the Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard, as well as two non-core classes, the Psion and Psychic Warrior. A full set of character generation rules permit players to create their own characters, or use pre-generated characters selected from a "character library".

So there is a 3.5 game with MOTHERFUCKING PSIONICS and it's for PSP only. I'm one of the biggest D&D 3.5 fans in the entire world and I didn't know about this game.

I am astonished.

I don't think you end up fighting but the PC game Menzoberranzan has Methil El-Viddenvelp.

Demon's Souls.

Bloodborne.
