I feel like they made Karlach incinerate anyone she touches just because otherwise there would've been nothing stopping Shadowheart from instantly dragging her off to fuck nasty for a solid week.
i've been thinking all day about how the worst "happy" epilogue endings make the characters' worlds so much smaller than when they began. gale should be happy teaching pupils he doesn't like about a subject that they don't love as much as he does, not following his passion for magic wherever it takes him and building new friendships now that he's spending his time with mortals and not a goddess. shadowheart should live quietly on a farm unable to ever stop dwelling on shar and not think about how when she was trapped in the cloister she wanted to travel and leave her mark on the world.
at least lae'zel's duty-bound ending acknowledges that this is the task she has to do before she feels free to pursue her own life, and it may not make her happy, but there are reasons it's still right. astarion no longer feels trapped by vampirism, he's learned how to live freely within the constraints and acknowledges it took him some time to figure out how to do that.
duke wyll does not exist within any of the political or social logic that the game establishes for baldur's gate, even setting aside that there is no way wyll would be happy in politics, and it's also an example of his world shrinking down to exclude all the things he used to care about and somehow that's supposed to make him happy.
anyway, i know the epilogue didn't even ship with the original version of the game so i can only imagine how rushed a lot of it was, but man it shows with some characters (and probably would have for lae'zel too if her ending weren't resolved in the actual finale rather than the epilogue).
One of my wonderful online friends asked me if there was a chance I'd make these two kiss, so I made a doodle. And because many of my other - equally wonderful - online friends share the fondness for this pairing, the doodle got a little out of hand. So, this one is for you all. đđ¸
Some in between stages. Can you guess which encounter these two have just beaten?

Thank you so much for enjoying my art, and supporting me in my artistic endeavors, and your commissions and support, and being my lovely friends!! Here's to another year of drawing lesbians<3
so I had a disclaimer about how this is a joke but then I read the actual dialogue again and uh. he fully actually did.
First, some things about the Dukes that the game does not make clear:
* There are four of them, all with the gender-neutral title of Duke, and the âfirst among equalsâ is the Grand Duke, which is currently Ulder Ravengard. In BG3 there appear to only be three Dukes (then two when Stelmane dies) because they havenât replaced Thalamra Vanthampur, who turned out to be involved in that whole Descent business and a worshipper of Zariel. The other initially surviving Duke, Dillard Portyr, is among the dead in Wyrm's Rock when you go confront Gortash
* The Dukes are elected by the Parliament of Peers (a large number of whom Gortash appears to have killed), then they select the Grand Duke amongst themselves
* Because of this, there is usually sufficient pressure for the Dukes to not all just be patriars (which is what the patriars would want), and they generally also have representatives of Lower City/merchant interests (like Stelmane)
* Dukes serve for life
* It is not a hereditary position. I cannot stress this one enough. Ulder being a Duke means nothing for Wyll becoming a Duke in turn, except that maybe in the future people will think fondly of him if they liked his dad, or some people might think he inherited natural political acumen or something. But there is no âmy fatherâs seatâ for Wyll to automatically step into, he would have to be elected.
(This is a slight digression, but Ravengard is a Duke because conventionally (but not automatically), the Marshal of the Flaming Fist is a Duke. That means that his seat more than any of the others actually does have someone more poised to step in, but that person is probably Liara Portyr.)
Okay anyway. Duke Wyll abolished the council. Look:
Summary, if it's hard to read:
Wyll disbanded and reformed the Council because the patriars were "all too eager to abandon their oaths and bend the knee" to Gortash. The council is now Wyll and (if they lived) Ulder, Florrick (or Cordula Eltan, if she died), and Liara Portyr. I think if Ulder is dead, there are only three of them, and he mentions that eventually Parliament will elect a fourth. When? Don't worry about it.
So obviously this is absolutely crazy. The Council of Four was mysteriously disbanded (by who? why was this needed, since Ravengard was the only surviving member anyway?) and replaced entirely with officers of the Flaming Fist. You know, the mercenary company who protect the city because they're paid to. Wyll isn't technically a member, but there is a world where he ends up commanding them, and he's also the son of one of the other members, so like. We are not assembling a council of varied views and backgrounds here.
All the more so because Wyll really hammers home in other places his "Ravengard blood" (he is one generation of earned nobility, it's not much to brag about). Florrick is probably a commoner, but Liara and Cordula are obviously both patriars-- Liara the niece of one of the recently-murdered members of the Council of Four.
And also: what has actually changed? Why did the Council need to be disbanded for this to happen? Well, because there's no way that Parliament would agree to elect two more members of the Flaming Fist, plus the current Grand Duke's son. One imagines everything else is the same: now that they're in, they'll serve for life. And possibly institute some system of inheritance for seats, since that seems to be what they're doing already, particularly with Wyll and Liara, and a bit with Cordula as well when the dialogue (and her fancy Duke title) emphasizes her descent from Fist founder Eltan.
It is, completely unintentionally, the perfect evil Wyll ending. Convinced that only he and his friends/family can wield power responsibly in the face of the patriars' cowardice, he seizes power for himself in order to force the wealthy to contribute to building the city in the way he unilaterally deems fit. His duty, as he says in the dialogue above, is only to the citizens of Baldur's Gate... as opposed, one assumes, to the patriars, the wealthy, and presumably anyone else Wyll deems unworthy. His personal moral judgement is law.
(And that's not even getting into how the title he offers the player is 'Duke of the Coast.' I'm sorry, is that yours to claim????)
We are sleeping on the potential of evil Wyll IMO. A Wyll who becomes evil gradually through a series of good intentions and blind spots and morally grey choices? And still manages to remain recognisably Wyll with all his kindness and righteousness and self-sacrificing bravery still present, albeit warped? So much more satisfying and interesting than the black and white, cartoon villain evil endings most of the others get. And what an amazingly tragic, fitting end to his beginning: making a pact with a devil. He can just keep on making pacts with devils in a variety of different forms, each decision seeming reasonable, but the sum total of which slowly turn him into something else entirely.

I just don't get over how fun it is to see how many different personalities you can make out of the durge storyline depending on the dialogue options you pick or the order of events you happen to get.
This time my durge feels much more focused on the need to discover who they were. She feels like that's the only way to understand what's happening, and I just happen to have chosen a lot of dialogue options that have other characters really hammering home that the answers lie in her past. I think Izar had a bit of this too, but it was much more focused on 'who did this to me and can I wreck their shit,' whereas this time, combined with the reveals of the companions, it feels more like, 'Okay, other people have these curses and orbs and demanding warlock patrons, clearly something like that also happened to me and I have to find out what it is.'

I do think we can critique fandomâs neglect of Wyll while not pretending his storyline is some underrated gem. He is not a well-written character, his storyline doesnât get properly developed, and that is racist, too! But it also means itâs not totally unjustified or pure racism that makes people not enjoy his story. And yes itâs frustrating that it canât just be a tidy narrative of fandom racism but unfortunately it isnât all that.
So the tollhouse burns. Roseul waits outside and distracts herself from the urge to go back in, to watch the flames consume the false paladins, by counting corpses: three dead inside, one by her hand. One by Karlach, one by Gale. Would he want to know? She hasnât told anyone about the tally she keeps by instinctâby compulsion, she might say, a need as strong as the need to kill that surges up inside of her. Hello Gale, I almost cut your hand off when we met, but would you be interested to know precisely how many people you have killed since then?
Laeâzel would want to know, she thinksâand Astarion, too. Shadowheart⌠perhaps. Her coolness and unconcern are not as strongly held as she would like them to seem, Roseul thinks.
And Karlach. Karlach will want to know.
No, Karlach would not need telling. Roseul stood behind that false paladin, Anders, as Karlach cut him down; she saw the fire, not just that sprang from Karlach herself, but the blaze in her eyes. This is a true acolyte of death, said that voice in the back of her mindâher own voice, she knows it is, for all that it says things she doesnât understand.
No, she does understand. Thatâs the problemânot the feeling, just the knowing.
For example, the way she understands when Karlach snarls in fury Zariel just has to stop fucking with me, you know? The way she roars that she is free, free, free.
Yes, says Roseulâs heart. Yes, I know. Yes, me too.
But what does that mean?
Sweating and bleeding and blazing, Karlach emerges from the tollhouse. She looks at her hands, sparking wreathed in fire, like she doesnât know them.
âJust had to blow off some steam,â she says. âYou know how it is, right? Sometimes you just have to.â
âYes,â Roseul says. âI know just what you mean.â
