It seems that everyone else gets a decent/respectful ending (not the happiest), but at least not being made in to a cruel childish joke. Everyone except one of the most traumatized characters in the game. Who thought that it was a good idea?

If you put it that way, then I would already suspect that Karlach and Astarion share the writer. I see a trope in here.

Let's put a likeable character into a decade / century of misery, slavery and abuse and let him jog on afterwards smile

Well, at least now I know. In my next run my Astarion buddy will ascend.

At least you can run to Karlach. Astarion doesn't even get that.

If he ascends he'll be perfectly fine.
