Option three is brilliant on so many levels. Karlach sending him to the Hells is of course an easy narrative of revenge, but Karlach sending him to the Hells to plant flowers speaks of such a level of complexity in their relationship.
The idea that she would do what he did to her, but that she would make him be better. That she would make him do a task that's affiliated with servitude and frivolity. That he would be nurturing in a way he failed to be for her. That she would make him fill the place of her torment with that which she missed and craved. The mirror considers option two to be the correct choice on account that it's looking for the player character to chose power. Option three is revenge, but it's not power, it's sentimental and sort of beautiful in a way that the mirror and the necromancer who built the mirror did not value. I could think about option three forever.

This is exactly why I made a halfing dark urge romance Astarion. Because if I have to live in a world where by late game first play through I realized I liked the character and was mad at myself for it, then that fucker has to go through the exact same experience, but with a girl who he would have pulled some "Ten Things I Hate About You" bullshit with in another life.
Still can't get over the fact that Toby Fox dreamed up a game ending, but he decided he wanted to make something a little less ambitious first, so instead he made the most influential indie game of all time
