Effing hell, Larian. You guys had six years to figure out where you wanted the story to go. Six years! And you ended up with "uhm, a bunch of circles to nowhere?! Lolz, they'll never expect that!", which is pretty much a writer's equivalent of the Chewbacca defense, except with a lazier execution.
If you want to tell a story then tell the darn story and finish it properly. Don't deux ex machina it and don't leave it hanging.
It really doesn't matter what your medium is. If you want to do something then do it, and do it fully. If you get to where you feel the end should be and then need more room then create that room. Take your time, do the thing, and do it right. And do it to completion.
Do not do what the tv-guys did to GoT Season 8. That merely tarnishes the entire project and makes people feel daft for having paid so much attention to it in the first place. "Oh my, this is looking so grim, how will they resolve that? Oh, they didn't, they just clapped their hands and the problems all went away."
And don't do what you did to Karlach. "Oh my, her fate looks grim, I wonder how that will be resolved? Oh, it didn't get resolved, the story just ended, well fuck me sideways for giving a shit."
