In a word - sadness. At least DOS2 had an ending. And no, there is no bug with Gale, I checked 20 times (I didn't believe SO much that everything could end SO BADLY), as well as with another romantic interest, NONE OF WHICH HAS AN ENDING! And it's NOT A JOKE (*crying and laughing* This is not a joke!)
I am pretty sure I did get a "good" ending while romancing Gale.
After the ending on the pier of Baldur's Gate the scene changed to his tower in Waterdeep where he gave a speech about how we changed him for the better and asked if we want to marry him
But that was kind of it, roll credits, the end.
I was expecting at least a slideshow telling us about how our adventures reflected on the city at least... but no, that was it. Bummer
