Although is one of the biggest releases of 2023, quickly becoming a front-runner for multiple Game of the Year awards, one of the game's few notable weak points on release was its lackluster ending. After the final battle, each companion simply received a few short lines of dialogue, with many story-relevant characters not featured in the ending at all, and the game would come to a somewhat abrupt end. As of the game's fifth major patch, however, has received an all-new epilogue, promising additional closure to the stories of companions and other major characters.
