You mean TOB? I haven't heard of any BG3 from Interplay

TOB is an expansion = was originally going to be BG3 but it was modified later on

When I came to "the final showdown" I found that I HAD to Slayer change to finish of Jon I'. Now, that to my mind sucked more than a tiny bit (symbolism be darned). I go through the entire game with a pretty perfect reputation and at the very end, am forced to perform an action that costs me 2 reputation points.

Add to that, the fact that the ending IS an anticlimax... page after page of that poxy Ellisime and her pontificating in that 'worse than dick van dyke accent' AAAAAAAAH!

All in all, I was expecting better.

Still, it's not really the end is it? Just the opening to T.O.B.

I totally think that the people at the table at the end were the protectors of the known world. They were going to kill you. I loved how Jonny Boy fell into the lava, but is he fighting in the lava eternilly or what? What if he gets ressurected?

Eh? You do not need to change into the Slayer. It is perfectly possible to kick Jonny's butt to the abyss and beyond without submitting to your inner instinct.

I for one did not have to change into the Slayer and do not think it is necessary either (unless I misses something, which I am sure I did not)
Maybe he Quintis was having a hard time beating Irenicus and thus turned in the slayer. After all the Slayer shapechange is totally optional and up to the stage I am at the moment (in TOB) I have not been forced to use it out of my free will.

In ToB your reputation gets reset to it's base value (usually 11, 12 if you're Lawful Good) anyways..so who cares ? Spend it if you got it.

Partially incorrect. It only gets reset if you import your character into ToB. If you fight the final battle and transit normally to ToB, your party values are retained.
