3. Destroy the brain, take the crown.
3a. Keep the crown for yourself (semi evil ending)
3b. Give the crown to Raphael if you made a deal and he’s still alive (probably bad idea ending)
3c. Let Gale give the crown to Mystra (conclude his story arc and probably relatively safe)
3d. Give the crown to any party member showing an interest in being super powerful (I’m sure they can be trusted not to be too naughty)


I don’t think it’s as bad as some are saying, and I don’t agree with all the reasons people say they don’t like it, but I think there is room for improvement.

Sure, but all your suggestions are still:
"Destroy the Brain" with some different window dressing. And at least in my playthrough, Gale did actually say he would try to claim the crown andgive it back to Mystra, and I encouraged him. So I got 3c.

Keeping the Crown right away seems to be impossible, since it seems to be partly destroyed after destroying the Brain. Gale says he needs to reforge it or some such. I haven't made a deal with Raphael, but I think the game should reference that deal once the Brain is dead ("Oh sh**, now we need to get that crown somehow, or Raphael will come kill us).
