I've read (here and here, for example) that epilogue's bugged and Shianni was murdered by the human if she had become a Bann of Alienage. And there is ending in the DAO Toolset with killed bann Shianni. 

But there's not such ending in epilogue cards.

So I wanna ask, is that a really bug or it's a just cut out ending by developers themselves?

It wasn't cut out -- it really is a bug. I repaired it.

Edit: To be more clear, there were actually a few bugs with this, and Terra_Ex fixed the flags not getting set properly for King Alistair and I fixed the broken flag that was being used so the slide would actually trigger.  It was very clearly a coding error, however; and flags were set properly when Anora granted the boon, but not set when Alistair did so that was pretty clearly a bug as well.

Second edit: While I'm not a developer, there were extensive script notes throughout the toolset.  And the flag that was used looked like, if you weren't that familiar with them, it SHOULD work (I think the people who assigned flags were different than the people who wrote them).  There were numerous bugs in epilogue, where the incorrect flag was used as the names of them could get somewhat confusing.  I ended up having to go back and see what flags were actually being set for certain scenarios and change them in the epilogue so the proper ones would trigger.

Oh, thanks a lot. Another question: what developers said about this problem? Are they gonna fix that?

I doubt they're going to fix it.  There are many many bugs in the game and they definitely are not being addressed in the upcoming patch.  If you click on the ZDF link in my signature, you'll see that I personally have repaired probably over 100 bugs, and those are only dialog bugs, and I didn't repair Morrigan.  There are many other bugs as well that are known, but that most likely will not be fixed.

However, there IS a community fix it thread in the PC support thread here that lists many bugfix mods.  None are officially endorsed by Bioware, and as far as I know there are no plans for mods to be combined, but you can get an idea of what the mod community has done as far as these issues are.  I can say from my own personal experience with this that actually doing all these bug repairs would be very labor intensive, both with programming and testing even though the actual problems are highlighted, and DAO is now an older game.

Edit: Here is a link to the thread to which I'm referring.  This is page six because there are lists of mods on it that people are finding play together nicely and fix many things.

I've already subscribed for this thread but thanks anyway :)

Edit: Shame on Alistair then (king Alistair, actually). How could he allow that to happen?
