Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Give Karlach a happier ending

I have had an incredible time playing BG3. I enjoy turn based games and RPGs. I currently play on Ps5 and have had little to no issues. I don't have much feedback. My only feedback is that I wanted Karlach to have a happier ending. The ending is vastly improved from the original, but it just still doesn't feel right for me. It doesn't feel right taking her back to Avernus. The one place she absolutely does not want to return to. Karlach is easily my favorite companion. Seeing her get star struck by Jaheira in act 2 was adorable. Her bubbly and bright personality shines amongst all other companions. She's a strong female character who wants to help people, and take down the evils that want to do others harm. A strong, female, barbarian with a heart bigger than the planet. My character was a folk hero paladin so her and I got along like bread and butter. I kept Karlach in my party the entire game. Her reaction to different situations fit how I felt every time. When she made comments about killing the devil Raphael, it was just too perfect. Seeing Karlach wanting Mol to make the right choice was heart warming. Because I wanted to kill that devil too. And I also wanted Mol to refuse Raphael. She's genuinely a likeable character with incredible potential. The voice actress did an outstanding job and I cannot praise this character enough.

I completely agree with you and think we should speak as loud as possible to attract attention.
Only together we, players, have a chance to make Larian studios hear us and give Karlach a TRUE deserving ending, not this ugly trash with suicidal descent into Avernus.

I might be in minority, but I disagree.

Totally agree !! I just finished act 2 and unfortunetely, I didn't find quickly enough the only one guy who can fix her heart, everyone died at the inn but it's when I looked at my quests journal that I realised it was over, I have no chance to fix Karlach's engine anymore. At the end of act 2, I didn't want to lose so much hours and go back before the inn attack. But I feel really sad for this amazing character, it could be so nice for the gameplay to have one last chance to find someone who knows that infernal engine stuffs in act 3... Fingers crossed. Don't let Karlach down, Larian, we love her so much.

The Forgotten Realms setting allows save Karlach without pointless tieflings sacrifice or something like that. Just use a Resurrection spell.
