I know Larian has written quite an extensive post with the previous patch re: cut content and choices, where they say that what was cut was cut because their creative vision wanted it to go.

But there's also a ton of stuff about them listening to player feedback and how crucial it is for them so sometimes even the best options of a developer aren't really selling well with the community. Karlach's story and the lacking of choice for the player to do more about it than fetch two pieces of simple infernal iron is just like that.

Now. I do believe that the easiest way to please the community on rapid-fire solution schedule is to extend the "best" possible outcome to date, which is the Avernus ending. The next-best solution that requires the least editing in the game is to leave it as is and in a potential x months down the line-kind of epilogue, have Tav, Karlach and/or Wyll return as well, talking about what went down in Avernus and IN THERE tell that they found a way to rid her of the problem and she's able to survive in Faerűn and live a happy life again.

The best option however, is to gather all the stuff we've mentioned here and on Discord and see which way of solving her engine issue is the most rewarding for the player, but equally hard to pursue.

In ME3, those who remember the ending drama there, obviously an extended cut was released to develop the epilogues more. Then, and only if you collected more than 95% of all assets kn the game and surpassed a set amount of those, could you get what would pass as the "best/most hopeful" Shepard ending with the destroy ending and rubble breath scene.

The fix ending isn't supposed to be easy. It's supposed to be a trial and hard to obtain. There's battle to be won and checks to pass for it to happen, but in a proper DnD campaign, that is exactly what the players would get. I've been in multiple campaigns where near-impossible feats were achieved because we as players fought tooth and nail to get there, and the dice were thanfully in our favor. I also know of times where that kind of stuff had really bad ramifications and it too should in-game.

But people need to remember that BG3 is based off of DnD and how it operates, how much it's about choice and companionship and fighting for the next day. I doubt Larian would just pass a request as wanted as this one by, but it's not a simple task and I don't think it'll happen for a while.

Once again, time will tell. Until then, I'll hold my flaming wife company in Hell and make sure to fight to see the sky and sea again. Because what else can we do?
