    The one thing that always bugged me about romancing Karlach, and the outcome of her storyline in general, is that she has always been the Sweetest Cinnamon Roll Muscle Mommy Waifu throughout the entire game, deserving to be happy more than any other party member, but the game does her dirty, despite our best efforts to repair her infernal engine heart with countless infernal metals.
    Thankfully Larian Studios has released Patch 2, which gives us Karlach Romancers the closest thing to a happy ending that we can get, allowing us to join Karlach in Avernus, until we can find a more permanent solution for that big 'ol heart of hers. I mean, we took on a Netherbrain for Maker's sake, what are some demons going to do?

      I can handle losing characters I care about in movies and games, especially when they go down swinging and make a noble sacrifice. But I love Karlach too damn much. I have to make an exception to that rule just.this.once. I actually really love the Avernus ending and that she comes around and seems happy, with hope and a fix on the horizon. She really does deserve the best and to get to actually live to enjoy it.

    I choose that ending because... After we saved Baldur's Gate, I realized that I basically did everything for all of my friends except one, Karlach. Like, I was able to help them all, they all had their good endings, but not her. Also Lae'zel, who I was with, had a greater purpose than to stay with "me", which I was ok with...So at the end, she left to lead the Githyanki(s), the thing that she always wanted. And at this moment I was like " Ok, the city is safe, my friends are safe. The only one still suffering here is Karlarch, so let's go with her to Avernus and figure out a way to one day leave this place together " Basically in my mind it was like choosing to live a new adventure, with Karlarch at my side.

    There’s for sure a feasible way to save Karlach and give her a normal heart.
    1. Remove the engine from her chest, killing her but she’d come back
    2. Cast regenerate or have an extra heart lying around somewhere
    3. Revivify or resurrection
    4. Proceed

      Yeah it’s a contrived plot which is why I don’t respect this storyline at all. If they wanted to make us feel really hopeless about her situation they should’ve explained away how magic wouldn’t be able to help her. This is something that would’ve easily been fixable in 5E of all things. If they went with BX then I would be more apt to buy into the hopelessness.

    I hope people don't accept this and bow with "thank you all mighty master". This was just added because people found out about datamined of completely different thing and gave this half-assed ending to appease the players with new ending, but keep their "artistic vision" for Kerlach. If Wyll goes with her, or if you and Wyll go with her the scene is exactly the same. If Wyll goes with her he takes place of player, and if both go he just sorts of hangs behind the duo. Hence why there is no dialogue or speech from player/Wyll.

    • @ReadyComicsRoll
      @ReadyComicsRoll  Год назад +7

      I don't know about "bowing down" but I am glad that they put it back in, because it was already bad enough that you could fix her engine if she was your origin character, but you're telling me I can't go with her to Avernus? Whack!
      This, to me, is the best of a bad situation, and at least gave me something that makes me happy, while also still sticking to the plans Larian apparently had for Karlach, even if I disagree with them.

Its pretty BS, I appreciate them doing something, but its very obvoiusly not what players wanted, they wanted to actually save her properly. the only way this is worth anything is if they do expansions which Larian is NOT known for, and add content in avernus that allows the 2 or 3 characters to survive tough battles and say, get Karlachs heart back, or survive long enough for their allies on the material plane to make an engine that works for Karlach and allows her to survive on the Prim material plane indefinitely.

      Given all they have thought about, either Larian is planing something bigger in a next patch and is keeping us in the shadow cursed lands, or WotC doesn't want an ending where the infernal engine works on the material plane, because of the implications for larger D&D.

    While I'm glad Larian took the time to listen to their community and reshot an alternate ending for Karlach, I still feel like this option should have come on the tail end of a hefty [Persuasian] check. When I left the choice up to her, though, she opted to go to Avernus, which, honestly, felt like a backslide for her character. She stated very clearly earlier in the story that given the choice, she would prefer to die surrounded by the people she loves in the land that she loves. That would have been the choice more in line with her character and her values.
    It would have been the *braver* choice.

      >"Alive"
      What is the FUNCTIONAL difference between being dead and being "alive", but trapped in one of D&D's shittiest afterlife options? "She's not dead, she's just in the afterlife and can never leave". Like bro, what?
      Again, what is the difference between dead and alive but trapped in an afterlife? XD It's just semantics at that point, eh?
      >"Free"
      She is not free, she's EXPLICITLY trapped in HELL. That is the opposite of being free. And her biggest desire expressed throughout the game is freedom from hell. So how is sending her back to hell "freedom"?
      >"fighting demons with friends"
      First: You mean devils, I assume.
      Second, she wanted to ESCAPE having to fight devils and demons in hell for all eternity. That was, like, her main motivation! How is sending her back to be hunted by Zariel FOREVER a good ending?
      >"Helping people"
      Where is her helping people come into play? Pretty sure it's explicitly stated she's going to be hunted eternally by Zariel now, constantly under the threat of being reenslaved. She's gonna spend the rest of her eternity fighting just to survive, being constantly hunted.
      If she was DEAD she would be more free. She'd be in a better afterlife, and she would no longer be pursued by Zariel. Even the Fugue Plane is a pretty decent afterlife for the good-aligned. Best ending for Karlach: Give her a single level of cleric so you can swear her to a good-aligned god, and get her into one of the best afterlife options, then let her die.
      I don't see how her dead and chillin' at the House of the Triad among the souls of other heroes isn't a better outcome than her being "alive", but trapped in the worst afterlife option out there.

      I disagree, this is my favourite and a good ending. Like she said herself, karlach isn't alone this time. Its not like last time when she was in Avernus. In the post ending party, it was even hinted that its possible to fix her engine and go back, so its not like actually dying, its not semantics.
      This feels like a much better ending that letting her die, leaving her friends behind. Or become an illithid, losing her body and soul too. Those endings don't sit right with me at all, and this one feels so much better.

      The cut ending slides take place 6 months after the end of the game, and according to those they’re still alive and looking for a cure. If you romance her as Lae’zel it even says they make Zariel tremble with their might. So clearly them dying shortly after this scene isn’t the case lol

    I didn't romance her yet, but I absolutely see this as the "happy ending" her fans deserve. It's as happy an ending as she can have considering her circumstances, and seemlessly combines romance and badassery together to make a satisfying conclusion. Mechanically and story-wise, you are absolutely at the point where you can begin to make Avernus your bitch, and considering that you get to do it with Karlach? Awesome. It may not be a typical romance, but you were never a typical adventurer, anyway.

    Me, Karlach and Wyll all went in together after my choices with Wyll's story. It was very epic.
