I found this best ending:

If The Warden allowed Brother Genitivi to mount an expedition to the Urn, but did not kill the High Dragon, the Urn disappears without a trace and falls into myth once more.


Every other ending has people coming for them or something bad happens like dragon goes on killing spree.

The problem I have with that ending is you can't get Dragon Armor and it's kick arse for Warriors and Arcane-Warrior types esp when combined with Evard's Mail. You also lose out on quite a bit of XP and other loot as well.



The best ending I've found accounting for all of that is to persuade Genetivi to go back to Denerim and never talk to him again. Then the ashes again fall into myth and lore.

I don't know, the idea of the Chantry pilgrims getting scared away by a High Dragon is too appealing to me. Not to mention that I don't like to kill the dragon and I don't really care about missing on the loot or the armor (the fatigue bonus is the only thing good about it really). Missing out on the cutscene when Wade creates the armor is painful though...



But persuading Genitivi to go back to Denerim at the start is also a good way to avoid the ashes getting discovered by the Chantry.

I don't get what's so bad about it making a holy site for pilgrims?

Heck Yea, they are no longer the peaceful helpfull followers of Andraste. If they ever where. They are the oppressors who took the place of the Teventer Emperioum. DOWN WITH THE CHANTRY!!!!

This is my favorite ending, too. I don't like killing dragons, especially since they were almost extinct, and I particularly don't like killing one that's minding it's own business entirely, so it's the ending I always go with. I killed it once, just to see what the battle was like and felt crappy enough that I reloaded immediately. I'm just glad that it leads to such a good ending so I don't have to force myself to kill it.

Not down with the Chantry. Just down with the corrupt part of the Chantry.

I allowed the Ashes to be discovered because they're a testament to the at least partial truth of Andraste's words, and that the world at large deserves to know about this. I don't care for the chantry, but then again, the chantry isn't an embodiment of her will, but a collection of her (corrupt, evil, hated, despicable - yes, I play as a mage) followers, who've put themselves in power for their own benefit. That shouldn't be allowed to affect the innocent, normal worshippers though.

I don't have a problem with the chantry, myself, although I'd like it if they worked with the mages to find a way to give them more freedom while still guarding against dangers. However, Alistair and Wynne both make good points about the downside of letting it become a pilgrimage spot..

The best ending is to kill the dragon, leave the ashes uncorrupted, and let Genitivi live so the faithful can pilgrimage to the final resting place of their prophet. The urn is supposed to be visited and pilgrims tested - that's the whole purpose of the guardian and the trials.

Yeah but that guardian is a bit too strict if you ask me. Fail one of the test and it's killing time. I mean, does a pilgrim really deserve to be killed just for not getting naked? Isn't kicking them out an option?

Alistair notes that the ashes better be self-repenishing, and Wynne comments that while Genetivi's motives are pure, others might not be, with the implication that it's likely that charletans will take advantage of the faithful. or use it for power.

I fanficced that my city elf warden extracted concession rights for the Urn.



Happiest of all possible endings, IMO.

Wonderful contribution Giggles.



@The Water God:



But how would you be a threat to the Ashes just for failing a test? Because you know the location?



@Mousestalker:



Yep, that does sound like the happiest ending!

Yeah exactly! Then you go back to Denerim and tell all your friends. Next thing you know everyone is knocking on the Guardians door asking for a try at the Guantlet.

Eh, sorry. I fail to see how that's a good enough reason to kill a pilgrim who fails the Gauntlet.



I take it you kill Genitivi at the end of the quest (assuming you didn't sent him back to Denerim at the start)?

I think the Warden's view on the Chantry plays a big role in what they think the best outcome is. For an elven mage who became the Grey Warden, Kolgrim's pro-mage Disciples of Andraste seem like a much better alternative than the anti-mage Andrastian Chantry.

I don't like to kill the high dragon, I think she's really beautiful. But they are dangerous and she'll eventually go on a rampage that will kill a lot of people. In the meantime, I see it as Archie practice for my crew.

all you have to say is "If something bad comes from this it's your fault" the in the epilogue he tried to tell people about the urn but the chantry kept it quiet
