If Cazador was not killed, Astarion shares that he cannot walk in the sun or the streets in fear that Cazador might find him. He shares that he has returned to eating vermin and asks the player character to help him kill Cazador. If the player character agrees, Astarion | If Cazador was not killed, Astarion shares that he cannot walk in the sun or the streets in fear that Cazador might find him. He shares that he has returned to eating vermin and asks the player character to help him kill Cazador. If the player character agrees, Astarion responds that this means a great deal to him and that they can set off in the morning. If the player character refuses, Astarion remarks that he has always been alone and should not have expected that to change. | ||
If Cazador was not killed | If Cazador was not killed but Astarion reconciled with the [[Gur]], he shares that they killed Cazador without much effort after allies tore out his tongue. He shares that he has embraced living in the shadows, but he would like to live in the sun if an opportunity presents itself. | ||
If Astarion chose not to ascend, he acts like his former self: flamboyant, energetic, and happy to be killing; however, he is now an adventuring vigilante who only kills people who deserve it. He has grown acclimated to living in the darkness, developing a renewed sense of self that inspires hope in people and is accepting of his own identity and nature. If | If Astarion chose not to ascend, he acts like his former self: flamboyant, energetic, and happy to be killing; however, he is now an adventuring vigilante who only kills people who deserve it. He has grown acclimated to living in the darkness, developing a renewed sense of self that inspires hope in people and is accepting of his own identity and nature. If the player character romanced Astarion and encouraged him to find a way to walk in the sun, he shares that he has been searching the world for one. | ||
If the player character romanced Astarion, spared the spawn, and proposed that they lead the spawn together in the Underdark, Astarion shares that they have built a haven from abandoned ruins | If the player character romanced Astarion, spared the spawn, and proposed that they lead the spawn together in the Underdark, Astarion shares that they have built a haven from abandoned ruins, that Cazador's palace has been burned down, and that all knowledge of the Rite of Profane Ascension has been lost. | ||
Ambient chatter from Astarion has him bemoan that Withers has brought fine wine from all over the world | Ambient chatter from Astarion in any outcome where he is a spawn has him bemoan that Withers has brought fine wine from all over the world but hasn't thought to bring any fresh blood. He goes on to try the reddest wines available, but none are blood. | ||
===== Vampire Ascendant ===== | ===== Vampire Ascendant ===== | ||
If Astarion ascended, he shows up wearing an opulent blood-red suit and speaks more slowly | If Astarion ascended, he shows up wearing an opulent blood-red suit and speaks more slowly with a venomous drip. He brags about his rising status as the city's "puppet-master" and generally looks down upon the player character. He can be challenged on his new behavior and compared to Cazador, but Astarion will brush these accusations off. Unlike other companions, the entire camp will always side with the player character if Astarion ascended and they (as an illithid) attempt to eat his brain, but Withers still triggers the bad ending after the fight. | ||
If the player character romanced Astarion and remained with him as his spawn (or ally in case of illithid transformation), he will ask them to talk with the other companions to gather information and share it with him later | If the player character romanced Astarion and remained with him as his spawn (or ally in the case of illithid transformation), he will ask them to talk with the other companions to gather information and share it with him later while he stays behind and drinks wine. He is surprised to hear that others are somehow achieving successes in life without his supervision, but he is not interested enough to engage in conversation with them himself. | ||
Ambient chatter from Astarion as a vampire lord has him admit (albeit reluctantly) how nice the party is, admire himself in a hand mirror, react to all the wines brought by Withers, or turn into bat form and eavesdrop on other conversations but to no avail. | |||
==== Gale ==== | ==== Gale ==== | ||
| Line 97: | Line 99: | ||
If he did not keep the Crown, Gale returns to [[Waterdeep]] with {{CharLink|Tara}} as a professor at the Blackstaff Academy's School of Illusion. If he chose to return the Crown to Mystra, she cures him of his Netherese Orb; otherwise, if he left it hidden in the ocean, Mystra leaves the orb as a reminder of his former hubris but deactivates it so he can live in peace. In either version of the professor ending, Gale can be hugged during the player character's first conversation with him, he pretends the orb is still active in order to threaten his students when they behave poorly, and he asks the player character to come by the school at some point as a guest-lecturer for his class. Player characters of any class can accept (with or without their romantic partner) or gently decline, [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]] can comment that the Weave is dangerous and must be taken seriously, and [[Ranger|Rangers]] can offer to teach the students about wilderness survival instead. | If he did not keep the Crown, Gale returns to [[Waterdeep]] with {{CharLink|Tara}} as a professor at the Blackstaff Academy's School of Illusion.

If the player character romanced Gale without giving him the Crown, the two arrive together as newlyweds. Gale is concerned about his appearance but thanks the player character for encouraging him to come to the party. If they stayed in Waterdeep, he asks the player character about their opinion of the town and remarks how much he's missed everyone. Gale then sends the player character off so he's not tempted to keep them to himself all night, but he can be kissed goodbye first. | If the player character romanced Gale without giving him the Crown, the two arrive together as newlyweds.

Gale then sends the player character off so he's not tempted to keep them to himself all night, but he can be kissed goodbye first. | ||
===== God of Ambition ===== | ===== God of Ambition ===== | ||
If Gale decided to take the crown for himself he arrives to the party as a god. He reforged the crown and used it to ascend to godhood but left Mystra to her magical domain, instead becoming the god of ambition. He has several temples already built in honor of him, and he promises that the player character is never out of his sight. Tara is unhappy with Gale's ascension, though, calling his change "distasteful". | If Gale decided to take the crown for himself, he arrives to the party as a god.

Tara is unhappy with Gale's ascension, though, calling his change "distasteful". | ||
===== Spectral Voice ===== | ===== Spectral Voice ===== | ||
If he used the Netherese Orb to destroy the Netherbrain, a magical projection of Gale called the [[Spectral Voice]] | If he used the Netherese Orb to destroy the Netherbrain, a magical projection of Gale called the [[Spectral Voice]] attends the party in his stead. This projection informs the player character that it was created by Gale in the event that he died and was beyond normal means of resurrection, and it passes on a letter containing a farewell message. If the player character romanced Gale while he was alive, they can attempt but fail to kiss the projection goodbye, and it remarks that it sees why Gale loved them so much. The Spectral Voice then vanishes, and Tara is saddened by his death. | ||
==== Halsin ==== | ==== Halsin ==== | ||
| Line 113: | Line 115: | ||
Otherwise, after optionally sharing a hug (and a kiss if romanced), he talks of settling down in Reithwin and asks for a story from the player character to bring back to his hordes of adopted children. If the player character has romanced Halsin, they can joke that they would've asked him to read them stories and tuck them in. Also, if the player character went to [[Avernus]] with Karlach, Halsin says that he's glad their friendship with her has endured and can be used as a lesson for the children but that (if romanced) his heart will always be open to them when they get back. Before the player character leaves their first conversation, he gives them a {{RarityItem|Whittled Duck}} as a symbol of his joy to be back in their company, just as a duck returns home after migrating. | Otherwise, after optionally sharing a hug (and a kiss if romanced), he talks of settling down in Reithwin and asks for a story from the player character to bring back to his hordes of adopted children.

Ambient chatter from Halsin regardless of whether the player character stayed with him has him surprised Withers has brought so much food when he is mostly made of bone; he theorizes that Withers is living vicariously through everyone else's appetites. He also utters he should exercise restraint with the alcohol, lest he lose his faculties and ruin the party's atmosphere as a wildshaped bear. He is very happy to be among old friends and in nature. Throughout the party, Halsin can be seen dancing to Milil's music, and he will also occasionally become {{Cond|Drunk}}—living up to his own worries by turning into a bear and stumbling dizzily or gorging fruit until the condition wears off. | Ambient chatter from Halsin regardless of whether the player character stayed with him has him surprised Withers has brought so much food when he is mostly made of bone; he theorizes that Withers is living vicariously through everyone else's appetites.

In | In both of her endings, Jaheira talks of Baldur's Gate's reconstruction efforts and the roles her children, the [[Harpers]], and Minsc have to play in it. She reveals Jord has joined the Harpers and is planning crop cycles in Wyrm's Crossing. Rion has temporarily joined the Flaming Fist, but she mostly spends her time incarcerating corrupt Fists. The player can ask her to join the Harpers and she will agree, even if they are a mindflayer. Otherwise, she asks the player character what "home" means to them, and they can answer with either Baldur's Gate, the campsite, Karlach (if they went to Avernus with her), their romantic partner, or nowhere because they prefer adventuring. She then dismisses herself to make sure no one tampers with the drinks. Jaheira has no ambient chatter during the party, but she can be seen practicing the flute or swaying/tapping along to Milil's music. | ||
===== High Harper ===== | ===== High Harper ===== | ||
Jaheira mentions that she has to house people and rebuild the Harper network. She shares that she has little love for Baldur's Gate but chooses to serve the city for her family. | If she remained the High Harper, Jaheira mentions that she has to house people and rebuild the Harper network. She shares that she has little love for Baldur's Gate but chooses to serve the city for her family. | ||
===== Retiree ===== | ===== Retiree ===== | ||
Jaheira | If Minsc was convinced to be independent of her, Jaheira retires from the Harpers and settles down in [[Elerrathin's Home]] as a stay-at-home mother. She shares that she has done much more sitting down than she would like, she has been heavily involved in her children's lives, and they have proven themselves capable of restoring the city themselves. Jaheira admits that she misses adventuring and/or confesses defeatedly that Baldur's Gate is her home, but she remarks on how you only realize someplace is home once you leave and look back at it. Talking to her a second time has her promise to stop writing so many letters back to the city—much to the player character's disbelief. | ||
==== Karlach ==== | ==== Karlach ==== | ||
{{CharLink|Karlach}}'s behavior is determined primarily by the decisions made on the dock [[Endings|after defeating the Netherbrain]] and whether she became an illithid. {{DiQ|Oh shit. Oh my gods! He wasn't kidding. Withers, you mad bastard, you brought us back!|Karlach| excited to be out of Avernus}}If she did not go to Avernus or become an illithid, Karlach does not show up because she is dead.

Shadowheart, if alive, laments the lack of Karlach's presence, and a conversation with Withers reveals that she was not brought back because she did not want to return. | ||
===== Illithid ===== | ===== Illithid ===== | ||
If | If Karlach became an illithid, she will appear as she did in the final battle. She talks slowly and airily, reporting that she still feels like herself but that eating brains has enriched her with lifetimes of additional thoughts and memories. She sustains herself through an arrangement with a healer for terminally-ill patients, who consent to donate their brains to her diet, and she is proud that their memories can live on through her. | ||
Ambient chatter from Karlach as an illithid has her note that the reunion is a lovely occasion, but she'll soon get hungry. She expresses pity that mutton chops no longer interest or sustain her and reminds herself not to think about any of the local brains, lest she tempt herself. | Ambient chatter from Karlach as an illithid has her note that the reunion is a lovely occasion, but she'll soon get hungry.

===== Avernus ===== | ===== Avernus ===== | ||
If she went to Avernus, she | If she went to Avernus, Karlach's dialogue slightly varies based on whether Wyll and/or the player character accompanied her, but she is excited to have discovered a lead on permanently fixing her soul engine: blueprints for one of Zariel's secret forges. Her ambient chatter in this ending has her comment on how good it smells on the surface. | ||

If the {{SmRarityItem|Githyanki Egg}} was left in Lae'zel's possession, she speaks of the young man born of it, named Xan, in the care of allies. | If the {{SmRarityItem|Githyanki Egg}} was left in Lae'zel's possession, she speaks of the young man born of it, named Xan, in the care of allies. | ||
If Lae'zel | If Lae'zel remained loyal to Vlaakith and accepted Ascension, she will not be present in the epilogue. Withers remarks when spoken to that githyanki Ascension is to be consumed by Vlaakith, and he cannot sense Lae'zel's presence. | ||

Ambient chatter from Minsc in either ending has him impressed with the quality of meat Withers provided, though neither he nor {{CharLink|Boo}} knows where Withers sourced it. | |||
===== Zhentarim Prisoner ===== | ===== Zhentarim Prisoner ===== | ||
If Minsc doesn't make peace with the Guild, he arrives looking worse for wear, decked in rags. Without knowing the gravity of his situation, he reveals that he has been kidnapped by the Zhentarim and was nearly about to be executed when Withers spirited him away for the party. | If Minsc doesn't make peace with the Guild, he arrives looking worse for wear, decked in rags.

===== Berserker Lodge ===== | ===== Berserker Lodge ===== | ||
If Misnc agreed to help the Guild as their "berserker lodge", Minsc appears well-dressed and accompanied by a halfling Guild member, {{CharLink|Happy Hoarson}}, who he was in the middle of terrorizing for looting corpses. Minsc commends the player character and their companions for being ideal heroic role models, the kind of people Happy should strive to be more like. He also says that he no longer sleeps in "that" sewer, instead having found a much nicer sewer to sleep in. | If Misnc agreed to help the Guild as their "berserker lodge", Minsc appears well-dressed and accompanied by a halfling Guild member, {{CharLink|Happy Hoarson}}, who he was in the middle of terrorizing for looting corpses.

When spoken to, Minthara bemoans the party's lack of extravagance and asks if the player character regrets their decision not to control the Absolute. Ambient chatter from Minthara has her wryly suspect there have been other reunions to which she hasn't been invited, that all the heroes gathering together paints a target on the party for hostile attack, and that she is becoming accustomed to the taste of surface-grown plants. | When spoken to in either ending, Minthara bemoans the party's lack of extravagance and asks if the player character regrets their decision not to control the Absolute.

When the player character talks to Shadowheart for the first time, she will autonomously hug them (the only companion to do so) before commenting on the player character's improved physique. | ||
Ambient chatter from Shadowheart in any ending has her pleased at the quality of wine Withers brought for the party before promptly wondering why the party had to scavenge food from barrels and crates during their adventure when Withers could've fed them. She then recalls a night where fourteen apples, some fish heads, and stale bread were served for dinner. | |||

===== Farmer ===== | ===== Farmer ===== | ||
If | If Shadowheart both rejected Shar and saved her parents, she will have moved into a rustic cottage with her parents and an abundance of pets—one of which is an orphan wolf cub, revealing that she has overcome her lupophobia. If the player character gifts her the Armoured Owlbear in this ending, she can also be peer-pressured to make room for him in her cow's barn or even renovate her bedroom so she can have him as her bunkmate. | ||
Talking to Shadowheart a second time in | Talking to Shadowheart a second time in either ending where she rejected Shar has her share that she's been making hard ciders with apples of her own but that she's bored of doing it alone, and the player character can suggest she learns to juggle and/or starts a cider brewery.

If freed of his contract, he arrives as a [[Ranger]] regardless of what class(es) he had during the events of the game. | ||
Ambient chatter from Wyll in any ending has him enjoying the music, company, wine, and especially fresh air. He wishes the night could last forever. He can also occasionally be seen dancing to Milil's music with similar moves to his Act Two romance scene. | |||
===== Grand Duke ===== | ===== Grand Duke ===== | ||
If he became Grand Duke in the city, he arrives at the party in splendid finery and tells the player character of his acclimation to the political intrigue of Baldur's Gate. He shares that the Council of Four has been disbanded. If {{CharLink|Ulder Ravengard}} lives, he has become Grand Duke of the Triad, Keeper of the Fist. If Ulder Ravengard died, {{CharLink|Liara Portyr}} has become Grand Duke of the Wilds, Sickle of Chult.

If Wyll | If Wyll moved to Avernus with Karlach (and the player character if chosen), he notes how many cambions the two or three of them have slain and expresses his hope for Karlach to get her engine fixed and return to Faerûn for good. If he kept his contract with Mizora, he reveals that she's allowed him much more freedom as the Blade of Avernus, to his own surprise; he still mentions his next task of slaying a devil, but he's not afraid when the player character and Karlach have his back. If otherwise severed, he says he hopes to use Zariel's private forge to reverse engineer his sending stone eye so he can track Mizora and get his revenge on her later. He also shares about Duke Ravengard's efforts to rebuild the corrupted Flaming Fist and expresses that both he and his father are proud of each other. | ||

===== Armoured Owlbear ===== | |||
If the cub both became the fully grown [[Armoured Owlbear]] and survived the final battle, he shows up with the same appearance. He can be pet by the player character and told that they're glad he came, to which he becomes flustered. Asking what he's been up to with {{SAI|Speak with Animals}} active has him share that he befriended a turtle, a cat, and a kraken but killed the kraken after it ate the cat, while asking without it shows him attempt to mimic his fight with the kraken but be mistaken for dancing. | |||

If the cub survived the events of the story but was ''not'' upgraded by Dammon, he still naturally grows up to a similar size on his own, but he lacks the enhanced strength or armor of his fully grown counterpart.

The two can otherwise gossip about how messy Gale's study is before Tara shoos the player character away to the party, telling them they've earned it. | ||
