Prepare to be disappointed.
Yeah, well OK that sucks big time. Then the endings are indeed just slapped on top of an otherwise very variable story. That's disappointing. Once I have to choose
to side with Orpheus or the Emperor,
there are so many different ways the ending plays out:
- Emperor eats Orpheus
- PC becomes Mindflayer
- Orpheus becomes Mindflayer
- Karlach becomes Mindflayer
I really thought other major decisions had the same kind of impact. Don't get me wrong, I didn't think the game would end up any other way than
destroying or controlling the brain
. But I did think, that the endings would play out differently.
Even so, BG3 is still one of the best games I have ever played. The fact that the endings don't seem to differ at all based on major decisions in the story doesn't change the fact that it still was a great story with great characters, that I am eager to play again at some point. But I must say, that I feel a bit cheated, because Larian claimed there were so many different flavours the endings could have.
