What Happened to the Gondians? (Spoilers)

[[OTS]EchoZenLogos]

Hello,

I just finished the game, taking about 67 hours to complete it solo.

I tend to take my time, completing 90%+ of the content of a game but not tending to go for 100% completion, so this felt like a decent and enjoyable length overall.

One thing that bothered me though was how the situation with the Gondians in Act 3 is handled. I was given the option by Wulbren to blow up the foundry, but decided I would rather not let people being held hostage die just to take the easy way out.

So I snuck into the Foundry, and killed all of the non-Gondians on the first and second level (knocking out the Gondians that fought me non-lethally and disarming the Motivators). Then I noticed I had no way to actually deal with the final area after sneaking past the Steel Watchers to the control panel on my own, and so I went to deal with the prison break.

I freed all but two of them (took me 2 or 3 save scum attempts because of me not planning it out right, admittedly) in the 6 turn time limit I was given, including Wyll's dad who Wyll thought would be killed (since I had him break his infernal contract).

Then when we got back to the Steel Foundry, the Gondians helped me on the first floor. But I never ended up seeing the countless Gondians I had saved after this point - there were at least 6-10 of them I had knocked out inside the Foundry that seemingly disappeared. Only a single Gondian actually helped me, and his only role was to make the building blow up.

Wulbren then also showed up and tried to kill them, apparently being so blinded by his genocidal racism that me saving his life repeatedly and finding a peaceful solution wasn't enough for him. I talked him down, but he vowed revenge - only to never show up again. I even went by his workshop and picked up his bomb (used it to kill Orin with a sphere of invulnerability protecting my party), but he never showed up.

Am I missing some kind of proper conclusion to this part of the story, or is this how it is supposed to be? I suspect that me knocking out the Gondians inside the foundry and taking the "hard route" there might have bugged out something, but the fact I couldn't even find them afterwards (despite getting rid of all of the motivators and guards) was odd.
