I've played it twice - both times with community patch.
First time I couldn't finish the game due to having killed a character some time before. However, I fashioned my own ending in that I stormed the King's throneroom, slaughtered everyone there and took my rightful place on the throne. That was ending enough for me.
Second time, I did get through to one of the 'official' endings - although not one of the best. But it was nice 'closure'.
Enjoyed both of my run-throughs, but I'm not likely to go through again.
