Perhaps I'm the only one here who saw it this way, but I thought the ending was rather ingenious. I know many people felt "OMG pwnzors you kills yourselfs, is teh suxxors!!1!11!!" but I don't think you actually died, at least, not in the metaphysical sense of ceasing to exist.

I actually though that using the Godsbane was your character's way of ascending to godhood, and simultaneously releasing themself from their mortal coil. I mean, the seneschal even states that it's by the blade's kiss (sting? Don't remember the exact poetic prose he used) that the seneschal's gained their immortality.

So it's not a stretch to say it gives them all of their other deific powers as well; unless all gods are limited to inhabiting only 2 towns, only able to torment people for kicks, and being killed by sentient red mists.

That, and if you died, what is your previous character doing in the hereafter on NG+?

Perhaps I'm looking into it too much. :)
