So, you can dominate the Absolute, but only as a single Lord Above All, while all else become slaves.

What happened to plans to control the world? Several characters including Astarion and Gale offer an opportunity to rule the world together, but you are only left with mind-bending options.

And it doesn't matter how you dominate the brain, scenes are always the same, only Absolute's lines and final line "In ... name." change.

No post-explanation of what happened, no idea what change our decisions brought to the world.

And the Good Ending is not much better. Sure, you get sort-of conclusion to your companions story, final scene, final good byes, but... that's it? Not even a final game sliders?

Owlcats made better endings, despite how broken the game was post-release for about an year and more.

People praise this game as Feature Complete, but honestly... it doesn't feel right. The game is amazing first two Acts.

While act 3 feels rushed, incomplete, empty - even with all the story and companions content.

The last act is very poor. Feels unfinished and is much worse than the acts before. All the critics who sanctified the game never reached act III.

Folks, please put anything about the endings in spoiler tags. Even if it doesn't feel that spoilery to you, people still playing the game - ie most of us - should be able to see them for ourselves without preconceptions.

My worries were validated.

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..

Like ME3 addition of cut scenes, slide shows and resolutions for quests/characters/etc would be easy enough for them to add in an update too


Minthara is the best character and she NEEDS to be recruitable if you side with the grove!
Also- I support the important thread in the suggestions: Let everyone in the Party Speak

I hate to say it because I am loving the game, but Act 3 does feel rushed. Most of the bugs I have encountered and other issues have all been in Act 3. I also hate the fact that the ending just boils down to two choices, regardless of the journey.

Uh. What was all this talk about having 1500 different endings permutation???
Man what a letdown. Not really looking forward to playing the game now post EA...(waiting on the macos version). I guess just for that second chapter.

For now from what I gathered:
-Rushed last chapter.
-Magic becomes irrelevant in the endgame because of items.
-Too much XP during the first part of the game, makes questing pointless/boring in the endgame.
-Not much choices in the end...

DOS2 all over again.

Yeah i hit cap at the start of act 3, feel like level cap ahould have been 15/20
Only reason they didnt was because adding all the extra spells , and they ran out of time


you are fighting gods and things as strong as gods, level 20 goes hand in hand, the fights could have been made even more epic

Its a shame larian rushed to beat starfield

And larian probably trusting a big chunk of gamers wont finsh the game so the backlash wont be huge to have a half finshed last act
