Every single time, killing the Banites on the first floor keeps me stuck in combat permanently, even after destroying the gadgets and traps. It's so annoying.
I get around this - literally - by sneaking up to the second floor through the "back entrance". Sometimes an annoying guard spots me, but other times they are apparently elsewhere and I can get to the top and listen to Gortash and Karlach go at it a bit before he bites the dust.
I dropped combat from first floor by running to bridge and fleeing combat to camp. Came back. Lower floor non-combat. Upper floor not in combat, cutscene still does not trigger with me or Karlach. They just go into combat. I had to watch the damned cutscene on youtube, Act 3 has really put a damper on my game experience.
The end part of any game is the most important part, it doesn't matter how good the beginning and middle are if the final act is a disjointed, unfinished buggy mess. This entirely feels like abrupt DOS2 "we ran out of time again" final act before they released the definitive edition, and it feels maybe not as bad because DOS2 ending pre-DE is terrible but this one is not far off.
