I guess this idea may be a little far fetched because I only experienced the game through a single playthrough from Gale's perspective who romanced Lae'Zel but "led her go" with the prince at the very end but this ending painfully begs for either a Githyanki civil war mini-adventure expansion or at least something like a quick visit of the astral plane during the end or shortly after that time to reconnect with Lae'Zel.
Sidenote: Hell, after how so many man tried to romance me/Gale during the game, I would have expected a quick invitation from the prince alone, regardless of Lae'Zel. So why she seemingly cut all ties with Gale so fast and presumably irreversibly?
OFFTOPIC: This ending was reminiscent of my original Dragon Age: Origins playthrough where my character romanced Morrigan who silently jumped ship during the ending. However, Bioware later released the "Whitch Hunt" story DLC that allowed the main character to find and potentially join her on the other side of the "magic mirror". Almost the same story so far, except a visit of the Githyanki world sounds more interesting than simply locating an old mirror (the following 2 Dragon Age games didn't really clarify what happened between these two, or at least I can't remember now, so many years later after Inquisition where they show up again but separatly withouth direct interaction if I recall correctly).
More realistically, I would see this particual ending slightly revised. First of all, I hated how I only had two options: either explicitly sending her away or explicitly begging/commanding her to stay. I really wished to see a third alternative. Something roughly like: "It's your choice. Do what you want." (I don't wish to suggest the writer how she should react in this third case. I just don't want to beg/command her anything. I want her to decide what she wants.) Second, if she does go aways with the prince (either if sent away or she decided on her own to do so if that third option were to be implemented) then I would like to read or hear a few words from her or the narrator if she intends to return and reconnect with Gale after the Githyanki civil war is over (one way or another).
It was very wierd how she made me promise to remain with her *forever* and then she just flew away with the prince, seemingly never to be seen or heard of again. I mean, I somewhat get how she found a new "higher cause" but I just showed her throughout the game multiple times by various games why not be act like that (don't blindly commit 111% to some technically random "holy cause") and she demonstrated some character growth and (to a lesser degree) some mindset change throughout the game due to those experices. Yet, at the end, she flew away regardless. All her progress achieved throughout the game was seemingly erased completely with a single sentence, just because I didn't want to command/beg her to stay.
