 At the end of the game, I said:

Goddamn it Anders. This is why we can't have nice things. 

Seemed kind of abrupt though. I was surprised at how short the epilogue was, and how much it left out. I guess there didn't really leave more to be said though. Where you went, who you ran off with, etc.

"That was a beautiful fight with Meredith!! I especially liked how she weaponized my favorite statues in Kirkwall... but I'm willing to over look her destroying my nice statues because her crumbling apart and falling into zealous delusion was just beautiful... It almost makes up for that BS from Orsino becoming a Harvester... I wonder what's gonna happen now that she's become super-powered??"
*Credits*
"Wait... what? That's it? ..... But... Oh well. I won't be missing that combat anymore..."
*At the fridge*
"Wait a minute! If Hawke is supposed to be the most influential person in TheDAS... why wasn't he able to do ANYTHING and why did all of his actions amount to piddly? Aren't influential people supposed to... I don't know, influence things?"

That was almost verbatim what I was thinking. I loved the plot for DA2... but I still don't buy any of that garbage that Hawke was more influential to TheDAS than the Warden... The Warden decided who would rule of TWO sovereign nations!? And much, much more... Hawke... Was there when other people found an idol... which set of a chain of events that allowed for the Circles and the Templars to both break away from the Chantry... Hawke was there when Isabella inadvertently started a Qunari uprising in Kirkwall... Hawke was there on the sidelines for one of the biggest changes to TheDAS's culture... but Hawke didn't influence nothing and nobody.

I felt like nothing I did or tried to do really mattered. Ok, Kirkwall needs someone everyone admires and respects to put things back in place, let me be Viscount... No, you can't!. Ok, I don't want to side with either mages or templars... No, you have to choose one!... Ok, I will help you Orsino!... Orsino turns back on you...etc, etc.

oh I forgot to say here: that when the game ended, I said where's my ending. it was more appropriate to say the game was "finished" not ended.

arg, reminded me of halo 2. I should have bought Da2 a year from now so I wouldnt have to wait as long for 3 or expansion pack.

Leliana's appearance left me pretty stunned - it was a great finishing cutscene and probably the best part of the game, sadly. I didn't have the Sebastien DLC so I hadn't seen Leliana thus far, and was really hoping for her to turn up... But after that wore off, I just recognised it for the mediocre game that I had always known it was and went to rant on the forums.

[Vicious]

Pissed. I wanted MORE.

"LET'S GO AGAIN! LET'S GO AGAIN!"

[88mphSlayer]

[GodWood]

LELIANA!?
WHAT THE **** I LEFT YOU HEADLESS ON THAT BLOODY MOUNTAIN!?!
WAIT WHAT?!
THAT'S IT?!
WHERE THE HELL IS MY BLOODY EPILOGUE!?

So how did you feel after finishing the game?

I felt kinda... "meh". 

The game never really built up to anything. It was just business as usual the whole time and then Anders comes out of the blue and sets off a bomb. All of which would have turnedout the same regardless of any other quests you did beforehand. Act 3 seemed shorter than the others with less main plot involvement. Personally I preferred the qunari plot so the game actually went backwards in terms of my interest towards the end. I had no real personal arch nemesis kinda beef with Meredith (or Orsino) so that final fight isn't very climatic. The lack of credit music putting the final nail in the "meh" coffin. Meh!

for some reason if the game "ended" at Act 2 I would have felt good about the game but complained it was short.  The Arishok and Qunari plot was really interesting and challenged beliefs.  The mage and Templar "debate" was tiresome, if I was Hawke I would have walked away from that mess and moved to Starkhaven.

[Merilsell]

Picard sums it up nicely for me here.

I liked Act 2 and would have gladly teamed up with the Arishok to waltz over the most bland city in gaming history...instead I had to kill him. Meh. Then in act 3 I got railroaded into problems I didn't give a rats ass about and also couldn't change in the slightest...no matter what I did before. And the final straw on my nerves was the first enchanter loltrolling me with "WE R WINNING! LETZ GETZ BLOODMAGEZ!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL" and the absolute ridiculous anime/JRPG-fight with "IMA SOOO EVIIIIL, MUAHAHAHAHAR" Meredith and her light-saber of righteousness/ fighting statues.

After minutes I spend in laughing tears about the cheapness of all that and as my fit of laughter finally did abide...I was able to finish her off, just to end with an "INSERT COIN TO CONTINUE ADVENTURE" screen.

Ffffffffffff... WTH, Bioware?

[Chuvvy]

Okay, here comes Act 4. Wait this is the end? Ten years my ass biowar- Oh cool epilogue... That's it "So we all left." That's all I get? **** this.

Not even a debate really. Both are some what irredeemable. Meredith is a tyrant and seemingly every mage is an abomination or a bloodmage.

After first play through I felt dumb. Partly because I sided with mages, partly because I didn't understand Act 3. It finished too fast and all that mind numbing bugs (hey didn't I cast Keran out of templars??? Keran and his family was everywhere).

On second play thru and afterwards now I love the game. Tho' can't play it as I stuck with ME 2 (Damn you Bioware. I don't like FPS or science fiction but you got me nailed into this game again. It is fun ).

Still have some planned runs for DA 2 and will return to them someday.... I hope.

[Roxlimn]

I think far too many gamers finish the game without understanding the narrative (because they skip reading the entries?) and assume that there's nothing more to the game's story just because they didn't understand a single thing.

[graavigala85]

After 3 game troughs, 2times with warrior and once with mage I still feel like that Act2 is the real ending. 3rd act is nothing more than just some random thing that happens because there needed to be cliffhanger ending

So much this !

Most likely, I won't be pre-ordering... some discussions about content have me thinking I don't want to buy DA3, so I'll probably wait for reviews. Plus, I'd rather play a game that has relatively few bugs, and DA2 kind of jaded me (also going to mention Fallout NV, another buggy pre-order nightmare). Depending on what the DLC looks like for DA2, I might even wait for the Ultimate Edition... I'm not a fan of buying half the story, but we'll see. This sounds negative, I know, but I'm just being cautious. DA2 is a good game, but could have been a lot better. Based on that, I'm not going to guarantee that Bioware will be getting my money for a third installation.

I will say that the gameplay and story get better the more you play... the first time I completed it, I had a lot of questions and criticism, but some of that has faded (fighting Orsino on a mage run will never make sense to me). As far as this game's right to be called an rpg? Sure, why not? The game is just kind of a lesser version of Mass Effect. Nothing wrong with that, especially if they improve on the formula when they make DA3.

Recaps: Diana Hawke is Viscountess, with the Guard Captain and the Knight-Commander as her steadfast allies, and Bethany safe at her side.
"Yep, that went well".

It ends in worldwide war no matter what you do.  That's what you call going well?  Low expectations...
