This is actually the best suggestion yet. It all feels so rushed. You hardly step out of the water after defeating the big bad and suddenly everything happens at once -
Lae leaving, Astarion and Karlach burning up, Gale thirsting after the crown
. The whole ending needs an overhaul.
Agreed. I don't want them to just add a piece of dialogue here or an extra 5 seconds of us running after Astarion. It needs to be completely redone. I want the whole docks scene to be 10 seconds:
We crash. We surface at the docks. Some funny/sad moment of getting Shadowheart out cause she can't swim. Astarion starts to panic at being in the sun (but he isn't burning up yet). We wrap a cloak around him for now. We all agree to meet back up at the tavern/camp to discuss events and futures.
Then, Larian gives us a proper send off. We get a whole party sequence with every party member.
No comical digs at Astarion burning in the sun.
We get an extra 30 minutes to say goodbye to characters and and extra romance moment with whoever. Then, as the whole party comes to a close,
you see Karlach on the roof of the tavern staring at the stars, contemplating events, knowing that she could die at any moment. We go to see how everything is and then her tragic burning up moment happens and in a panic, all the companions come to the roof to help. Tav or Wyll or whoever agrees to go to Avernus to save her.
Similar sendoffs should happen with every companion. CLOSURE.
This isn't a small undertaking but I'm so SO worried that they're just going to tack on some stupid 2 second dialogue and that's going to be our "expanded epilogue."
