Well, just finished the game and I have mixed feelings. Good in many ways but lacking in others. I may comment later. What I did want to comment on was the final part of the game and the decision you make: templars or mages.

*sigh*

Really? No peaceful way?

I understand the arguements over Templar control over mages vs freedom for mages and I can even understand how the people of Kirkwall might in their anger demand the mage's heads for the action of one. But Meredith, as rigid as she is, to declare annulment on ALL Circle mages when she KNOWS that they were not responsible simply to satisfy the mobs?

Sorry, no way. Meredith was a hardcase and we see the outside influences but too many Templars went along with it. The would be massacre left a bad taste to me.

On top of that, we had a possible solution: Trask and the mages seeking peace between the two but during the quest we only get to kill people instead of talking. For a game that spoke of "choices" all I felt was being railroaded to a predetermined decision: A or B, regardless of your actions throughout the game.

DA2 has the great core for an awesome game, both for playing and writing (kudos to Bioware for breaking the beginning - 4 hub quest - ending design) but transversing the same old places, the feeling that I was being controlled by the plot rather than shaping it, and a game that felt more sidequest than storyline (especially sad given how incredible some of the storyline was), needs some fixing.

DA3 should be awesome- the combat and visuals of DA2, the epic scope of DA:0, and Bioware's great storytelling as well as REAL choices, not two paths to the same point, will make it the best of the series.

I didn't see the other "third option thread"

Please do not post here. Also, requesting a lock or delete from the mods.

Thank you.

The absence of a "third way" is most likely due to Bioware having a predetermined plan for Dragon Age 3 and beyond. They needed a mage/templar conflict in order to move the world forward, so a kumbaya ending would have been pointless. It also would have made DA2 an utterly useless entry, as the world of Thedas would have started the same in DA2, and ended the same. What's the point in that?

I was hoping for a "screw you guys, I'm going home" option.
