The DA2 story lacked closure because the writers used the framed narrative style as a cliffhanger and not a self-contained story.

...and the story was, in the very end, Hawke's. It was about his/her rise from a refugee to Champion, to his/her involment in the events that will almost certainly change the face of Thedas forever.

As the story of the history of Thedas, yeah, it ends in a painful cliffhanger. As the story of Hawke, I think it does better...

...especially if it turns out it's a 30+ hour Origin Story/Leliana's Song...

My issue is more with the fact that they shoehorn you into the final part of the game. I still had quests to turn in and complete when I went to see Orsino and was forced into the last two hours or so of the game. I mean if you want to trigger it when I walk into his office that's one thing, but triggering it when I walk into the gallows courtyard to turn in a different quest is just lame.

Also, I was left wanting a different option for Anders, I mean my only options were kill him, let him run away, or keep him with me. I wanted to option of sending him to prison or something else, something that didn't force me to kill him but still punished him and didn't make me loose Sebastien.


It's triggered by accepting "The Last Straw" quest. I'm pretty sure there's a huge ! hovering over it on the desk.


I still have the ! hovering over the desk. Even though it didn't follow the previous method set forth by the end of act 1 or 2, i.e. aasking if I have everything in order, I figured it was probably the last quest so I put it off but accidentally triggered it by going to the gallows to turn in the dragon blood for the last herbalist quest. At the very least it should not have triggered until I went into the templar hall because I was then railroaded into the end of the game without the opportunity to complete any more quests and you can't go back and finish any quests after the game is over. I figured they would have learned from ME and left the game open after the ending.


That is really strange, then. Sounds bugged.

Wouldn't be the first thing or the last thing to be bugged
