Yeah, my issue is with the player's inability to react to something so significant. I can't really think of another scene in the game that remotely compares. I know this isn't the case but it feels like you're being glitched out of a scene that was meant to play, as you were with Karlach's scene on the docks when it wasn't playing.

While some of the companion reactions were dick-ish that's just how they were written and that was fine to me. So I was disappointed when they changed their reactions because I figured it meant they were never going to fix what was actually wrong with the scene. I understand that it's meant to reflect the tragic loss in his situation, but it's just not believable that an MC who cares about the character at all wouldn't follow him to make sure he's not dead lol. The explanation of him isolating himself afterward if he's not the player's romance choice doesn't change how weird it feels in the moment.

If they do end up creating a cinematic for it I hope it's not an option locked behind his romance, especially because the player is forced into Karlach's scene and allowed to go to Avernus with her whether they romance her or not. I don't have a problem with this, it just doesn't make sense when you can't even choose to check on your other companion who is in danger. In a very similar way actually. They're both catching on fire lol.
