One thing BG3 players may not have known about Karsus is that he wasn't trying to become a god for the hell of it. His homeland of Netheril was at war with the phaerimm, a race of extremely powerful magical aberrations. Multiple cities had already fallen to them by the time he had developed his spell Karsus's avatar.

(Side note: High Netherese civilization was located on flying mountain tops that were severed from the ground and flipped upside to serve as a base for the city. So when I say fall, I mean fall.)

Karsus developed his spell to steal the powers of a god so he could destroy the phaerimm and save his people. The spell was actually only temporary in nature (though he didn't appear to know this), and he picked Mystryl (Mystra's former incarnation) as he reasoned the powerful goddess of magic was the best target.

The problem that Karsus didn't realize until it was too late was that Mystryl maintained the use of all magic in the universe. As her powers were lost, all magic in the world began to fluctuate wildly and she was forced to sacrifice herself to stop Karsus, which caused all magic to briefly stop, sending Netheril and its floating cities crashing to the ground.

Karsus wasn't some megalomaniac wizard who saw godhood as his birthright and killed Mystryl to get it - he was a person with good intentions who wanted to save his home and his family but ended up causing an unimaginable amount of destruction, and in his last moments his heart broke over how he had accidentally doomed them all.

Anyways, here's an unrelated Gale quote about Lorroakan seeking godhood:

What do they say? 'The path to Hell is paved with good intentions.'

Finally, the wonderful tyrant we’ve all been waiting for to make his grand appearance has arrived. I present to you, Lord Enver Gortash

I don’t have to tell you how much I love gortash. If you know, you know. This piece has been cooking for several months and I was determined to make it how I envisioned. It’s everything I worked for and I’m so happy to finally share it

Keychains are also made and you can take gortash everywhere with you.

Should’ve went for the wizard instead

Three play throughs, three times Orin took Halsin. Yenna is right there! Lae’zel and Gale are much more portable, but no, let’s grab the biggest guy we see. Maybe come back and get Minsc too.

Orin must have a great Chiropractor.
