But damn, I don't want to save the entire world, I just wanted to save the 1 individual in the game who deserves it the most
Yeah, the game kept patting me on the back for saving Baldur's Gate (which I barely cared about, my character wasn't even from the city, been there for all of a week maybe) and the world (which... I suppose so... theoretically), but it's my companions I really care about. And I barely got to talk to them afterwards, and two of them who still needed some saving - especially Karlach - got nothing.
And poor Orpheus had to turn himself into a mindflayer five minutes after being rescued from hundreds/thousands of years of imprisonment.
