Hello hello all you amazing people smile

Alright after spending 170 hours with my first playthrough and about 400 hours(with EA) in total, I thought I leave a few words about my experience.

First of all thank you sooo much for all your hard work! You can really feel it when you play the game and I enjoyed (almost) every second of it with a big smile on my face.
That said -> I really hope you guys will be able to release a definitive/enhanced edition some day in the future because the ending of the last chapter and especially the ending(s) felt really rushed.

For example - I hate mind flayer and all the illithid powers. Never used it once because it just does not fit my character. Same goes for lae'zel. Shadowheart killed her at some point and I could not have been
happier/cared less. That said, lets look at the ending(s). So I can either go with the Emperor that I hate with all his illithid powers (that started all of the suffering in the first place).
OR I can go with orpheus and the githyanki which I dont really care about. But I am mostly annoyed about because lae'zel is just the worst.
Which are two not really great choices to be honest. And on top of that someone NEEDS to transform into a mind flayer? Why is the "transform into a mind flayer" thing so shoved down our throats?

And the end I sided with orpheus, mostly because I hated the Emperor and there was no other choice. Orpheus transformed into a mind flayer because this is the only way you can avoid doing it yourself (and I did not care about him anyways).
So we win the fight stand awkwardly at the harbour.
> Gale for some reason turns into a total ass now because he wants to be a god (although he was just the nicest dude the entire playthrough).
> ALL endings for Karlach are not great (but enough other people already wrote about that in length).
> Some goes for Astarion (just running away?).
> Dont know what the point with Halsin was, because he is literally just standing there.

I dated Shadowheart and hear ending was not tooo bad but then again she had a pretty amazing story in general smile Thank you so much for that!


Ending of the game did not feel like a really had a choice. And this feel really weird for a game that gives you normally soooo many choices for even the smallest things.
So it seems like you guys were literally just running out of time which is of course really sad but at the end of the day the game industry is a business, I get it.
That said, I really hope we can get better endings at some point and thank you so much for all your amazing work.

By far one of the most amazing games I have ever played (and will play again and again and again)

Imagine my surprise when me, having romanced Gale the entire game, got the "Whelp, nice knowing you, I'm off to be a god now!"

Turns out there was a specific boat scene that never triggered for me that would have given me the checks for a happy ending, but instead, I got to kiss him pre-battle, and immediately after he just went into full asshole mode. It was whiplash to be sure.

I have found that in order to trigger this boat scene, you MUST
long rest after you speak to Elminster in Camp (when he appears to you after finding the Karsus book), and before you go to the statue of Mystra. If you go straight to the statue and allow Gale to speak to Mystra right after talking to Elminster, you will not get the scene.

I found the endings of several characters very short, they barely have a sentence at the end
