See, I really do not mind cliff hangers in other forms of media because they usually pay attention to and follow a set protagonist or group in their adventures, where as Bioware has stated that they want the series to follow thedas the land not hawke or the warden so yes I am a bit concerned by the lack of a resolution in Dragon Age 2

This!, I don't mind a book, comic book or season ending of my favorite TV show to end on a cliffhanger or with little to no resolution. I know when the show picks up in 8 months, it will be the same characters, perhaps a bit of time passed, but continuing the story.

But these games are like the True Blood show picking up next season, and being about a cabana boy in Jamiaca, who is on the same planet earth, but the only reference to the old characters being a quick screenshot to the news papers lining the bottom of a dog kennel, that read "Mysterious Deaths in Bon Temps".

Sure its in the same world, but that hardly makes these games a "trilogy", or maybe i just expect a trilogy to be something more cohesive.

So 60 bucks for half a story?

$60, seriously?

I paid £27, for the sig edition, and that included P&P.

That's like $45. Why'd you pay 60?

[Zzgashi]

I felt like DA2 had a pretty complete story. It's about Kirkwall. It begins with Hawke moving in, and it ends with him(or her) leaving. That ending though was just absolutely terrible.

Good point, actually. I paid about the same as you. Maybe he's in Singapore or New Zealand, they're both about $2 to the £1.

Well, this is just a part of larger story. As far as I understood several games are planned, with different main characters...

As the Warden said to Teagan.."Thats convenient"  They take away charactor creation so they can make us pay for their preassembled ones with limited story options , wonderful.

It is the middle story of a trilogy. Origins was a clifthanger and naturally DA2 was going to leave things open at the end as well. You can't complain about not getting the entire story from one installment of a series. That is just simple.

You do know somewhat where the warden is because you were the warden basically in dragon age 2 you play what varric remembers of hawke not the actual guy/girl, and trilogies usually like I stated before follow a main protagonist not the actual land where the first story took place, that is why I am perturbed at the situation and know I don't mean the Italian.

Yes you know where the Warden is but you don't know much of anything about anything behind the scenes.  You know you were saved by an ageless witch to get her daughter a demon baby but you have no other other clue about the state of the world.  You just fought the blight and are oblivious to the inner workings of the world.  With the expansions, namely witch hunt, you end up even more confused because it raises more questions and answers almost nothing.  It is a cliff hanger if you bother to follow the most important plots.  Where your warden ended up was not important.  Your warden was a pawn who served her/his purpose.  

I am not terribly worried about the ending in DA2.  Origins had Awakening and so I suspect there will be at least one major expansion to address the ending in more detail and I am fine with that.

Origins had an ending.  Had more than one ending.  In one of them my warden died.  I didn't need to buy Awakening, in fact didn't buy it,  to have an ending to the Warden's story.

DA2 is an ok game.  I enjoyed the characters, enjoyed the side quest, but the romance experiment was lacking for me; it did not have a well defined consistant main story and the ending left a lot to be desired.  IMO  

Ill be preordering ME3, after that I'll wait and see.

I would have to agree to half of your argument.  I was never a RPG type person.  I have never played a RPG game before.  I was hooked on Dragon Age 2 once they were promoting the game.  I never played a game that had story, fighting, and characters like Dragon Age 2.  I have to admit that I never played enough RPG games to understand your meaning.  I was a bit disappointed when they left the Champion at that.  They could had made the end a bit better.  They could have given a better resolution to the ending.  I would have liked to know what happened to the Champion.  I can't wait for the next Dragon Age game.

I'd be perfectly happy with this if each installment were 20 dollars.

This is the first time I've ever felt completely cheated by a developer. I feel like Bioware made the conscience decision to **** the majority of their player base in hopes of being able to fool them into buying a game designed for shortbus gamers.

Noone seems to reemember how they normally give us good expansions that if we are lucky will fill in this half a story problems if they expansion us like they did on the first game all this cncern will be unwarrented

Really?  So they can get another $60?  BTW, DAO HAD a proper ending.

Sadly, the second installment of Dragon Age had nothing to do with OUR Wardens and focused on the cardboard cutout Hawke, in which our only real influence on the story was whether we could be Nice, Snarky, or Rude about it.

My warden was dead.

Why should I prance about another game just suited for your warden? I already did that with Awakening

[Onyx Jaguar]

Besides the point of the story was to find out Hawke's involvement in what happened

You find out, you also find out why they were trying to find out

and then the only cliffhanger has to do with Hawke themselves. Where did they go

Hell living Wardens suffer the same problem in both of the previous games

This ending felt as "final" to me as the end of "Fellowship of the Ring" movie where I said... "really?"

Only - I knew that had two more parts... and I paid only $10 to watch it.

[MaximusPhoenix]

I think if you go through and do all the quests and listen to each part in depth, it is an excellent story. It may be a little shorter than DAO, but "quality over quantity" is what I see here.

I paid $60 for a full story; I'm not sure what edition you paid for.

 No way really? Damn I musta missed something.... Can you please tell me then what the reason behind Varric being questioned was, and how it was resolved? 

[Pwnsaur]

There was no ending. Also, the 'BIG DECISION' resulted in the exact same outcome.... Kind of defeats the purpose of presenting us with a choice eh?

[Taura-Tierno]

There is still an expanion coming, I hope. That will make for a better ending.

Plenty of games lack endings. Baldur's Gate 2 didn't have one, until the expansion, for instance.

I've seen this from people in other threads...when did BioWare ever call Dragon Age a trilogy??  Where did that ridiculous notion come from?  Are people so pavlovian trained to assume that Dialogue Wheel = Mass Effect = Trilogy?

Mass Effect was planned as a trilogy from the very beginning.  Dragon Age is about Thedas, not any one story.
