Ending with you romance

[KalterEvil]

So is there no afterscene of you and your love interest at the end of this game ? Did I missed some quests to get it ? I mean even in DOS2 you had a scene after at the ship and some diologe with whoever you romanced but not in BG3 ? Thats sad, I enjoed the game to its fullest but Im sad that there was nothing like - they lived together forever ever after. That would've been nice.

Nope, add it to the list of things they didn't put in the game so they could push it out before Starfield sadly.

Even something like a small line of diolog or a 30 seconds cutsceen and I would've been happy but come on nothing at all. Such a bummer.

I agree. The game ends so abruptly. They don't even have ending slides telling you the consequences of your choices throughout the game (a staple of CRPGs for decades mind you; even DOS2 had them). As much as it pains me to say, this game probably should have been delayed till the end of the year. I don't think it was ready for release as much as Larian thought it was...

BG3 needed like another year of development.

Agreed. Larian cut a ton of narrative corners in the last Act to get the game out faster. It's a shame that the romances mostly end up being nothing, the side quests just sort of stop, and the ending is abrupt and without closure.

A great game ruined by dogwater endings.

Seriously! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt Act 3 fell flat compared to Act 1 and 2. It's like they never learned their lesson from DOS2. I have other complaints regarding the narrative surrounding the tadpoles but the state of Act 3 overshadows that. Not to mention it's very obvious they spent more time developing some companions and origins than others *cough* Lae'Zel and Shadowheart *cough*. Minthara is probably the most interesting companion of the bunch but also the one with the least amount of content! My only hope is that they take these criticisms to heart and attempt to address them in some kind of definitive edition as they did in DOS2.

Minthara and Karlach, being late additions as full companions, didn't get their stories finished.

Don't worry though, it isn't just you. The consensus for most people who got to Act 3 already is that the game falls apart and feels rushed and unsatisfying at that point.

The ending is underwhelming. The last hours I was thinking: "god, this is tedious, I wish it will end quickly". Also badly written. The final battle is like in Witcher 1 or Dragon Age Origins, something so unoriginal, you saw it a 1000 times.

Seriously the final reveal for the last battle was so hamfisted and lame

Yep, you could see that twist coming a mile away.

Add to the fact that *SPOILERS* there are literally no consequences to using or not using the tadpole powers . They could have done something very interesting with the system but I feel like they prioritized gameplay over narrative, which for an RPG, is very disappointing. I vastly preferred the EA tadpole system and narrative to what we have now.
