I'm just surprised how she didn't break her legs, would have made the fight alot better in my opinion.

[Alexein]

I'd be more disappointed if the final battle was just Hawke vs. Regular Meredith.

Final battles need to be unique. Over-the-top is par for the course.

Just wait until DA3, and we find out just how much Varric was telling the truth. Remember, the only reason we find out about his lies is when Cassandra calls him on it.

It felt like one of those old Harryhausen movies.

[The Angry One]

Varric: And then Meredith drew out Soul Edge and her eyes glowed red and.. and.. she could leap 100 feet into the air!

Cassandra: ......

Varric: Then the statues all came to life and started attacking us!

Cassandra: What a load of.... oh screw it, we'll be here all day.

Cassandra's also an idiot, Alexein.

There's a big fight that starts a war in the Gallows. I need information on what happened there. I know I'm going to question a dwarf about events 7 years prior to the battle instead of go to the highest ranked templar on the scene: Knight-Captain Cullen. Cullen would have insights into Meredith and the causes of that fight that Hawke and Varric did not.

And had she gone to Cullen first some things would have been cleared up like the whole Meredith being insane and all. Instead it seems Cassandra believed every drunkard's story about the event and thought Hawke was some kind of evil genius who played the city like a fiddle and all for some great conspiracy theory.

She's the perfect example of a poor investigator who's already made up her mind before taking in all the information. A conspiracy theorist detective looking for a boogeyman because she believes in the boogeyman.

That's why chantry fail to see the truth behind the war. Haha

When the scene started, and she jumped I went. "Oh wait, this is a universe in which magic exists and I can hurl fireballs without blinking an eye or conjure lighting storms for the fun of it."

Liberty Prime approves of Rule of Cool.

It's just to make the end fight stand out from the other boss fights of the game. As an easily impressed person, i approve too. Doesn't really bother me in a  game where there are animated suits of armor and golems. And i really like the way the slave statues were animated before they descended to the arena.

I agree the super leap of craziness was rather silly. Some of the other stuff was okay like the animation of statues but the huge leap was dumb.

Those are my thoughts as well. DBZ leap... fail.

It isn't really a DBZ Leap... They don't leap they can fly.. It is closer towards a Naruto/Bleach leap.
But most of you are forgetting a small fact....

Posession. As long as she her will is controlled it doesn't matter she can break limits with Magical bounds. It was seen that everything she did was eating at her as the Lyrium ate her and scorched her. We can all agree that Idol was NOT normal magical enhancement/Posession.

I mean come on? Are you all really surprised at that? Seeing the effect of a simple shard it had on a WHOLE house?! Get real -.-

[Alex Kershaw]

The flying thing was just stupid.

[Blacklash93]

It was over-the-top, but so what? You'd rather have the final boss be up against some ordinary Templar woman? No matter how tough Meredith is, that just doesn't sound epic enough.

Now, her flipping around like a ninja with a magic sword that brings statues to life is epic.

The problem with Meredith just going insane and busting out the madness inducing Soul Edge/lightsaber was that it made her into a comic book, mustache twirling villain. She was far more interesting when she was just a regular person with a questionable point of view.

It just made no sense, especially since the lyrium idol plot thread really was barely explored at all in the game, so it re-emerging just came out of no where really. I mean, it would be like at the Landsmeet you finally face down Loghain only for him to snort some of Andraste's ashes turning him into Super Loghain who then flies off to breath fire down on Orlais.

And what the hell happened to Meredith? Did her power levels go over 9000 and she blew the fuse on her lightsaber? Why the whole Wicked Witch of the West death act? What even happened to her? Ugh....Act 3 is better left forgotten...

Hey! There's deep comic book villains!

The idol just robbed Meredith of any character and cut down all of her previous motivation. Because now it's that cheap plot device that did it.

Since when do mustache twirling villains question whether they're doing the right thing?

EXACTLY!

:::twists mustache::::

Soon the whole world will change their opinions on mustache twirling....Muh-hahahaha!

You assume that Cullen is available for questioning, he quite obviously was not, else she would have went to him, othrwise I would have to agree with you 

[stobie]

It was over the top - in one place only, in my view - and that's when she goes flying around. That brought to mind Puma Man, and that's not a good thing!

I liked her okay, too - I would rather have hated her. She had a stern Viking lady quality which was pretty interesting, really, but I never worked up much emotion for either her or Orsino. (in contrast to Grace & Petrice, who I loathed)

There should have been an option to romance Meredith. She would have been quite feisty in bed.

[ISpeakTheTruth]

I wouldn't be suprised if the Red Lyrium was created by the Dwarve under the direction of the ancient Imperium. Maybe they wanted a Lyrium that would make them even more powerful. Imagine a mage having that relic and not just a normal human. Then clearly it had some bad side effects like the madness and the whole Thaig killed itself.

If my speculations are right than what she was able to do makes sense the Lyrium was a super-soldier formula that drive you insane.

[sheppard7]

It's just Bioware prepping for TOR. Meredith will be in TOR as a Sith Lord don't you know.
