I was just sad. That he seemed to be fine in the sun and then he wasn't so just ran off and Gale made some snarky quip I could have happily not heard.
I couldn't even follow him to make sure he got to somewhere safe quickly.
This is a man who has had an appalling time for 200 years - basically slavery and torture.
Has grown so much throughout my playthrough that even the other companions seemed to have come to respect him.
After all that character development and his turning into a reasonablyy caring and honourable person he gets treated so badly by the writers.
You don't give a main character a redemption arc like his and then pull the rug out from under in the last minutes. The whole thing was treated as a joke and it was tasteless.
Its actually put me off replaying the game past Act 2 until either Larion or a modder fixes it.
Yes I can head cannon something else happening but its not the same is it?
I agree! Throughout the game, I loved what they did with the romance. Being able to kiss your partner and all of the dialogue really makes you feel like the two of you have something. But the final good scene did feel a little flat. Especially if you do "This may be the last time we get to kiss each other" dialogue and he says something like "We better survive because I want to continue doing that" or something like that. Then in the end "You sure you still want to be together?" I expected a hug or kiss at the very least. Especially if you start talking about finding a way for him to walk in the sun.
