I kinda love it. In a "this is so ridiculous" way. Everyone keeps telling you the city depends on him, but whatever you choose to do with him changes nothing. The narrator doesn't even mention in the end that maybe you should have saved him if you didn't.
The whole end narration is charmingly ironic. It tells you that "you are the heroes of Baldur's Gate" while you see the common people of Baldur's Gate taking care of their city without anyone's help or guidance and - judging from all the epilogue material and romance conversations after the dock - no one in my "hero group" seemed to be even remotely interested in claiming the victory either. They all seemed pretty eager to just get on with their new lives.
