I created this thread after reloading the ending of my first playthrough to see if anything obvious had changed, and the ordering went:


- Lae'zel (whom I'd earlier failed to convince to abandon Vlaakith) tried to kill Orpheus and my character stabbed her to stop her.
- My Tav killed herself rather than live as a mindflayer.
- Then Karlach went up in flames.

I'll admit I almost appreciated the OTT Shakespearan-tragedy impact of it all, but it would have been good to have the potential to persuade Karlach to fight on. Or at least not to have my Tav's grand sacrifice upstaged by Karlach's so much cooler death scene coming straight after!


I mean, I agree that your ending sounds kind of shakespearean and I don't need always a happy end. But it is unfortunate,
that Lae'zel comes before Karlach and if you romance her, you have to persuade her to stay in order to save Karlach. It is very specific tbh. I mean, Astarion at least never dies. He will be there in the end, even if he runs away alone. No such luck for poor Karlach.
