I'm not interested in a happy ending with a wedding or children laughing. Larian has good writers and I also prefer to write tragic or open endings.
That Karlach has to go back to Avernus or that Astarion runs into the shadows is tragic, yes, but that is the cost of their decisions.
This creates headcanons. what happens to them now? maybe a DLC?
What's not working at all is that I couldn't decide anything anymore.
I just chose the option of let's have a party, but instead my romance ran into the shadows and someone made a half-hearted comment about it that pissed me off. I wanted to run after him - then the party will take place here - will someone get a keg of beer before Karlach goes to Avernus - Is there sun in the Hells?
But my Tav stood there emotionless. Others also said nothing and just stared into the area.
I was left frustrated and then everyone just, what, walked past Astarion? Even my tav?
I suddenly couldn't decide anything anymore - and my only decision - the party, um, no.
Is this what I deserve after 150h?
Stories need a beginning and an end that closes the circle. Sure, the Elderbrain is defeated, but how does it close in relation to the beginning. How do the characters develop? The World?
No final conversations. No drunk Halsin singing, or a Lae'zel has warmed up to the customs.
Nothing that closes the circle to the first party to the beginning. That would be a nice comparison to start with.
But, as if the last page of a book had been torn out.
