Resident Redneck Facist
I thought it was ok. I liked that it was more than just: "You beat the bad guy! It's over!"
One of my favorite parts of BGII was that at the end of the ToB expansion, it had a short story of what happened to each of your companions that was based on how you interacted with them and what actions you took during the game. I still think it is the best ending, with true closure, of any game I have ever played.
I got the feeling that they tried to do that with NWN2. Unfortunately, they chose the WRONG narrator for it, the voice just didn't work, and while some where cool (like Daegan's), it just seemed like there was not enough thought put into it.
I didn't mind that they more or less killed my character, I think that was kind of original, however they should have had all the companions escaping, then realizing you weren't with them. Maybe a little debate about what they should try to do about it, then based on your influence level on them, they either go their own way or search on their own for your fate.
I have to say though that the way the third Act played out, I was expecting a disappointing ending. The second Act was great, and felt a lot like BGII to me, but I felt the story really went downhill in III.
