Thank you mods, both for giving them a break and trying to warn them. Kole seemed to be really trying to offer legitimate conversation but they just didn't care.
Moving back on topic though! I did have an idea for an additional ending that isn't... well exactly what the thread is looking for, but something that I thought would be nice under specific circumstances.
So this is specifically in regards to if your Tav becomes mind flayer. See one of my biggest problems is that I constantly flip on whether or not I want Tav to make that sacrifice instead of Orpheus. Even more so is the decision to unalive yourself at the end, as you feel yourself, or how I interpret it as your soul, ebbing away. We've seen very few mindflayers with genuine good personalities like Omeluum (I don't count the emperor as one), and it's not like it's a sustainable existence like being vampire where you can feed while both food and you survive. Not to mention everything around not having a soul. So I often think if my Tav goes this route, they would end themselves.
Problem is, this shatters the promise you can make to Karlach about being there when she dies. Not going to fully reiterate something I already wrote some 10s of pages back, but being there in someone's last moments, very important to me. So my brain thought of a horrible compromise.
Die together.
Very much the same scene that's already set. She's burning up, you know she doesn't want to go to the hells, and you as a mindflayer know you'll only be yourself for so long. Why not go together? Why not share one last hug, give her one last embrace as you both turn to ashes.
