I'd say the endings are worse than ME3. Both have annoyingly idiotic main antagonists and a trolley meme ending, but at least in ME3 there was one option that didn't totally compromise the PCs person and even gave a shot of surviving in the end, which made the ending less bleak. Also, unlike in the endings of BG3, in ME3 you didn't win any prizes by fucking other people over.

Didn't complete chapter 3 in BG3 partly because it became obvious you were being railroaded towards unavoidable ceremorphosis. And sure enough you were treated with a rather disgusting trolley meme choice situation in the end, with three choises which were all disagreeable:

1)Double suicide. Choose yourself as the sacrificial victim and then commit a (second) suicide in the end by offing your tentacle husk where some remnant of your sentience still lingers. Which is really the only sensible solution for a good RP given that the chances you'll end up as anything else than a monster are next to non-existent.

2)For the lulz. Save your own hide by choosing maybe the most upbeat, and in a sense the most childlike, trusting person of all the companions for degradation into a junkless soulless clueless predatory husk.

3)Fuck everyone. Choose to turn the leader of a gith slave revolt into the thing he most despises and in the process compromise the fight against mindflayers, and fuck over the budding revolution against Vlaakith before it even gets properly started.

Not really that hopeful Larian will actually change the ending into anything better. I mean, they didn't implement a early way to opt out of your subjugation to Daisy/Guardian, just tweaked a bit our mind flayer overlord into something marginally less creepy, and gave players trying to avoid the ceremorphosis pretty much the shittiest possible ending(s).


The promise of being led to death is reason enough to follow.
