No garbage "pick who becomes an octopus" kind of ending. Really, that twist where only an octopus can manipulate a god-ending magical object made by an elf is so laughably ridiculous. Illithids even look down on wizardry and magic, why is an illithid necessary to use stones who actually channel the Weave illithids shun in favor of psionics? The Emperor should have remained a rebel fighter with his own motives, and Orpheus could have served as a vessel to empower the stones, whatever.
That, and giving Act 3 coherence and restoring the Upper City with Gortash's cut content and reactivity in dialogue to bringing up his past with his parents and as a slave to Raphael. Which reminds me, how in hell did Raphael just give up Gortash if he escaped? Wasn't he bound to the House of Hope by contract through his parents? Why did Raphael make no effort to recover Gortash? Gortash got his idea to steal the crown from information he stole from Raphael while his slave. And Raphael just sat by and made no effort to recapture Gortash.
