Is anyone else really worried the ending is really bad like the reviews make it out to be? Do you think it's because of the lack of an ancient evil that needs to be defeated?

Which ending? The one that the reviewers chose or the will I picked?

I hope it's because of the lack of an ancient evil. That would actually make the game more interesting to me.



(To meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! - Okay I'm done.)

Frankly, I'm not worried at all. I don't care if the ending doesn't feature Hawke vanquishing a giant monster.
I might care if it's a cliffhanger for DA3, but there's really no point in being worried now, is there?

Let's flip a coin and decide off that, shall we?

Mass Effect 2's ending was incredibly dull and anticlimactic.

Did reviewers point that out?

If not, than no, I'm not worried.

As long as the story is great up to that point, I don't give a care. Not to play the "in my day" card, but how many games in the SNES era (bar a few notables) gave an ending that wasn't just 2-3 cards of unsatisfying text? I think DA2 can do better than that. DA:O gave us at least a dozen cards. :)

Could be. ME2 lacks a strong antagonist and instead has Harbinger, who has the personality of trash talking kid and an evangelical nut job.

Could also be that whatever the blurb says about your choices, you end up with the "Hawke dissapears ending" anyway just so it fits in the story.

Ancient evil is not required , but some sort of strong foil tends to be good for books/films/games.

My guess is that we'll never actually catch up with the framing device, and thus be left with a cliffhanger at the end.

Although i'm trying hard to not spoil anything for myself (mostly by way of avoiding reviews) i did view the end credits via the demo in the hope that the music would give me a feel for the endgame.



Considering that This Is War/100 Suns and M4 Part II went so well with Origins and Mass Effect respectively, i think i'm probably right in assuming that the ending of this game will be far more personal. I'll have to wait to experience it before i can comment further, but i'm not worried.

The lack of an ancient evil blah blah will be quite refreshing. I'm rather looking forward to a personal, political story. I've no reason to doubt the ending will be satisfying.

This^

And the day the ME3 trailer went live it nearly took down the entire BioWare web network with people attempting to view 1:38 seconds of cinematic.

The ending of DA2 could very well be the same, and mean theres a DA3 somewhere towards the end of the year or Q1 of 2012.

Serial games, such a bad thing. I know. Why don't they just work for ten years and plop all 240 hours of game play into one game these days? Its just not like it was in the OLD DAYS!

Same.  So sick of all these cliched dark evil hellspawn storylines.  This was actually one of the major turn-offs in DA:O for me.

LOL@ people who think that ME2 ending was anything but setting up the entire tone of ME3.



Which is epic in its own right.

I think it will be disappointing because it will be a cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers :(

That's the disadvantage of games that are planned as a series from the beginning. You will never get all the answers in a single game.

We will see, you have to remember the reviewers are only voicing their opinion, i would'nt put excess meaning in their view points, he may be sour that the game didn't end the exact same way as Origins, but there is allways a chance the ending is unsatisfying.

That should be the other way around. If they felt ME2 was good enough to warrant a mention then one that does, must be really really bad.

Is the tone of ME3 unintentional humour and "big bads" you can't take seriously?

You know, it's like people have forgotten that games are almost never perfect.  Writing endings is hard.  Writing endings that meets everyone's wild expectations is impossible.

One reviewer didn't like the ending?  Who cares?  If he didn't care for the way it played out - that's his preferences talking.  It he didn't like it because it did a KOTOR 2 and just plain fell apart, you'd have heard a lot more than one complaint by now.

By the sound of it, I don't even think of the reviewers have played through the whole game. Besides, reviewers are SUPPOSED to be negative. You basically get paid to write badmouth about a game you play for an hour or two.
