I think I got the good ending for most of characters but the whole epilogue left me feeling so sad because it was disjointed and underwhelming.
Astarion’s ending felt like such a slap in the face. In the beginning I treated this guy like he was a joke and i didn’t use him that much until he reacted badly to me telling him to drink Araj’s blood. When he talked to me at camp about how it made him feel my heart broke for him and I immediately started treating him with respect and he quickly became one of my favourite companions after that.
When it came to the ritual I AGONISED over the right decision, I thought staying as a spawn would be better for him, but I was scared of any potential consequences. Gale even comforted me by saying “That was a good thing you did, and a wise choice.” which I genuinely needed to hear at that point.
So to get to end, and all that happens is he falls over himself trying to run away from the sun… I was like… wait? That’s it???? What do you mean “It looks like we’ll never see him again.”?!
Ok, what about you Gale? Love of my life, what’s going on with you “Ohhh I dunno, I guess I’ll fish that crown out at some point, it’s not like my future depends on it, let’s have a drink, oh and I guess I should ask, do you wanna marry me?” I mean sure, I was hoping that if Gale proposed it would be romantic as hell but whatever.
