I personally think the games story was amazing. The ending was also great, I love how they did it. The fact that they left this mystery and showed that the warden also "disappeared," makes it really interesting. What happened? I can't wait until the third game or an expansion.


I completely agree. After I finished the game I was left with such a feeling of epicness and excitement! Just from a story standpoint the ending was nicely executed and leaves room for a potentially rich and complex conclusion. I also wanted to know "What happens?", "What about Flemeth and Morrigan?", "What role do all these characters spanning from DA:O play in the next installment?".

Isn't anyone else interested in how the Warden and Hawke are linked? This question for me would have to be the most interesting one to explore. Gah! Just thinking about it makes me giddy. =)

Ooops, previous post was linked with the quote. Apologies.

I can't believe people would hate the ending so much. It left it ambiguous, like a lot a movies out there. It was good for what it is. Prove me wrong if you can but some movies are better left like that, much like Dragon Age II.

[Steven83]

Also, Warden + Hawke = Grey Hawke.

He drank blood. He lived.

Welcome to Dragon Age III , Grey Warden(s)!

Having just finished the game yesterday I can say the ending was a grave disappointment. How it left off with Cassandra and Lel was fine for that, it left it open for it to proceed or not in any future stories.

It was the ending with Hawke that was the disappointment, it made no difference in the end for your choice of side A or B, it was the same, so why give an artificial choice at all and just fill in with another long cut-scene and you'd have the same result.

The end chapter is terrible, i was thinking on stopping but forced myself to finish the game.

I have started another 2 plays but so far give up before the last chapter, very boring end.

[DarthSliver]

The ending is why i dont think ill be buying DLC for DA2. The game I thought was good mostly but you can see it was rushed and with an ending like they did with your decision meaning nothing really. Why would I want DLC.

I just want Dragon Age 3 and a much longer production time on it too. So Bioware can give us a smoother rock rather than a random rock off the ground. Basically i want a game where i only have to worry about the bugs that Bioware didnt find roaming around in the game. Only complaints id like to hear in DA3 when it comes out are from that and people who just like to complain about stuff.

Challenge accepted. I might point out that this game was supposed to be “the first interactive framed narrative”. Ergo, it was not suppose to be like a movie (like Princess Bride) because you could change the outcome of the framed narrative. However, that’s exactly what didn’t happen. Now, I enjoy an open end when it is done well, (IE Mass Effect 1 & 2) But I think the main reason people don’t like the ending of DA2 is the fact that the player has NO input into what Hawke does after the final battle. (Even DAO let you choose a little of what your Warden got do do after killing the bad guys). After making tough choices all throughout the game, the one that really matters, (stay in Kirkwall or run away like a pansy) is made for you in a cut scene. Kinda defeats the purpose of RPG don’t you think? Would you have chosen to skip town if you were given the option? I wouldn’t have.

[Mousers]

I remember the PR when the DLCs came out for DAO. Wow we can import all our choices to the DLCs, but they didn't do anything. Get Witch Hunt to answer your questions about the Morigan story, umm ended up being a DA2 advertisement. Import your DAO + DLC end save to DA2, does, actually, nothing. There are thousands of posts about the best save to import, speculations of continuing the story in epic fashion from DAO to DA2. Same thing that is going on now, DA2 to DA3. From our past experience with DAO and it's DLCs do you really think DA3 will be any different than our transition from DAO to DA2? I think not. Or even the DLCs. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

And speaking of hopes I do hope they carry our DAO and DA2 saves to a conclusion.

ended today, would say... little of disapointment because of the 1 ending, no matter what you decide, but i loved the way things were connected in the end. lets say the buterfly effect. and well it made me crazy about the next instalment... the warden the champion both gone. who knows what are they going to bring next.

After 40+ hours of playtime, I expected an -ending- not a 20 second cutscene to finish with a clifhanger the size of my a-

That's not a cliffhanger, leaving potential plot threads open is not a cliffhanger. The key issue of the story reaches it's resolution. The result is as mentioned set, this obviously a critical issue amongst the whole game and lore, with such large stakes the next game would have to retcon your own choices or contrive some reason that things STILL worked out a certain way, if not that particular issue can't move and can't be expanded upon. Can you choice *not* to stop the blight and see Feralden wiped out? That's the only other choice one can compare between that final choice of DA2.

'We don't really have a choice do we?'

'We never do'

What happens at the end of DA2 is going to happen Hawke can't change that, he can change the part he plays in it, which in turn has consequences, but he can't 'stop' that from happening. The reprecussions of your 'choice' are left out of your control so they can at least continue Hawke's story.

It's messed up that 60 bucks doesn't even get you a full fledged game now, like one game developer said " Asking a consumer to spend 60 dollars on a product they never played is too much"
Now there's dlc, expansions, add-ons. Man you cant even get proper clothes in a game these days without buying them. What's next Bioware, having to pay for my character before I even start him/her? How about charging for gas for vehicles?
I swear if they had their way, every game would be facebook. Maybe that's okay for the young generation coming up with live and dlc, but alot of us have been playing for 20 years, and watched the evolution of gaming, and been waiting for games to evolve to the point where Bioware has brought...well Mass Effect. But sometimes I can't help but feel it's like a gimmick. Like having to either reserve the game before you even look at it or pay 7 dollars to get a character that was meant to be in the game already. Seriously, though, this has opened my eyes. There ARE game companies that CARE bout our money, and care about the consumer. Torchlight owns!

I loved the ending sequence. It was possibly the only fast paced part of the game. I love the final boss with them statues and I loved that a character that sided against me, rejoined after I played on their conscience.
I loved post last boss, the whole mystery (as per the norm in a second of more games) of the growing threat (which will be set in future times).
I also remember a Grey Warden mentioning something about the situation in Kirkwall being of less importance than something else.

I was slightly annoyed that I HAD to side with someone. Same with the end of Act 2 where I had no problem with what had happened and would had gladly solved the problem without violence.
I don't like being forced to choose between two sides when I agree with neither of them.

[Disnaster]

Just finished the game. I loved it--yes, not as epic as the original, but still. I sat there saying, "Don't do it" when Orsino did *that." But I felt it was a little more ambiguous than I would have liked. At least with ME 1 & 2 we had an overarching story we knew about (The Reapers), but with DA, I'm not sure what's going on and how the Champion and the Warden connect. And yes, I was bugged that Varric said my Champion ran away with Isabella, when the love of her life was Merrill. What the heck was that all about? Where did everyone go? My Champion would never have said, "Well, screw you, Kirkwall. I'm outta here." But then, she did. Rrrghhh.

However, all that saying, it's easily one of the best games I've played since...well...Mass Effect 2. (And I loved DA:O, too, by the way. Spent WAY too much time playing that game.)

[Hatchetman77]

What was Zevran doing running around at the end during the fight with Meridith?  Did he just happen to be in the city or something or was there a cutscene that I missed?  I helped him with the crows and he said he was taking off (after he has a quicky with Isabella) then I see him running around during the Meridith fight.

[Voronwer]

I just finished the game and I'm with those that felt disappointed. I expected more, but it seems that Bioware is intending the more to come in another sequel. Perhaps part of my mistake is comparing it to DA:O and let's face it, it doesn't hold a torch to it. The plot is good, yes. I do want to know what comes next, but unlike with ME, I came out feeling somewhat cheated. There is no satisfying conclusion for the time being, there was no immense universe to explore. Side quests were tedious because of the recycled dungeons/mansions/caves.

I didn't hate the game, but I wouldn't have minded if BioWare had taken the time to actually flesh it out more. I'd have gladly waited another year if they had. Instead, the game felt relatively short and the story was unfinished, leaving me rather unsatisfied. I'm not saying I didn't have fun with it, but it could have been so much more.

I have to agree, I thought Bioware was doing a in medias res way of telling the story, having varric tell half the story and then it continues with Hawke bursting in the door... or something.
Seeing the game just end was quite frankly lazy.

Agreed. Well put.

[Aradace]

Im sorry, I dont see what's so bad about the ending. Especially when you put it next to Origins' "ending". I'd rather have what we got in DAII for an ending than having to read tons of text, with pretty pictures behind it. Origins' ending was no better than DAIIs IMO

[mtran13]

Finished it 20mins ago, meh ending. Going to trade it in tomorrow and get Yakuza 4.
No replay value for me.
