I'm surprised there aren't that many posts about how the game ended.  Just finished my first run through after killing meredith the game simply ended. What happened afterwards? varric said I disappeared and everyone left except Merrill (I was looking forward to some more one on one with her after the battle!). Isn't it just weird for the game to end like that with even the player not knowing what happened to my own character? 

Some other random thoughts
-Apparently I earned Vicount in my achievements tab, nothing in game about it
-Merril wasn't there when I was fighting Meredith. why?
-I prevented meredith from indiscriminately destroying the mages, killed the mage boss and then her. But apparently that equates to siding with the mages? I sided with the templars.
-what was that little scene at the end. I hope they release a DLC to continue the story soon, very unfulfilled right now

Oh last note, I watched the all of the credits and it didn't say "Directed by M. Night. Shyamalan". Now I'm confused.

there are lots of threads that all are about hate towards how the game ended.

-Apparently, Hawke becomes a Viscount if you side with the Templars. They even kneel before Hawke after the battle which is kind of cool.
-Poor Merill disappears in the final fight because your sibling joins in. In my case it was Carver. Sad.
-I am a bit confused as to why the Seekers would be looking for a Hawke who sided with the Templars. How could Hawke influence the mage revolution as a Chantry ally.
-The ending did seem abrupt. The story stops just as the main conflict escalates?

Hawke influences the mages to revolt if he sides with the templars because of Meredith ordering the Right of Annulment against the Circle of Kirkwall when Anders was the one who attacked the Chantry. Cullen only manages to spare three mages, but they will likely be made tranquil based on what Gaider said about the Right of Annulment. As a result of what happened to the mages in the Circle of Kirkwall, the mages across Thedas break free from the Chantry and the templars, and the templars leave the Chantry to hunt the mages.

Understood, but how would Hawke be of any use to the Seekers of the Truth when he allied himself with Meredith? The mages of the revolution wouldn't exactly be pleased with Hawke.

The seekers conclude that Hawkes and the warden both have diappeared and that it's no coincidence. Seems theres some reason that we didn't just get a happily ever after with neither char.

Maybe from siding with the Templars, the Seekers think that Hawke would have sway with the order. Didn't they break free from the Chantry? I need to check the wiki to be sure.

But I don't think anyone is happy with the ending. At least I've never seen a thread praising the way it ended.

Yea, the Seekers also think Hawke came to Kirkwall with an agenda, and planned the whole thing.

They don't seem all that smart.

It didn't have an ending.

The game simply ended.

Maybe we will be able to purchase an ending via DLC in the near future.

The story wasn't supposed to continue, the game presented rather early on that:
Hawke is missing.
The Chantry is in ruins.
Hawke was there when it started.
Cassandra is looking for him by interrogating Varric.

By the end of the game, it covered almost all of the above points.
Hawke had to flee Kirkwall because:
[Mages] Hawke opposed an entire army and Cullen allowed him to leave.
[Templar] Hawke became Viscount but quickly lost favor.
The Chantry has fallen apart because of Meredith and Orsino's folly after the Anders incident.
Hawke was there when it started and sided with the mages or the templar becoming a hero to one side.
Cassandra notes that Hawke is missing "like the Warden" and it's not a concidence.

So you recieved the ending that the game offered you, it's fine to not like it but don't dismiss it by saying it isn't an ending because it is. It's just not what you wanted.

Well any time the credits roll in any game it's "an" ending, it just isn't a good one. I wanted a good ending. So you're right, it isn't the one I wanted.

The game has an ending.If you side with the templars you become Viscount for a time. All the templars take a knee to you.Your character becomes disenchanted with the job and leaves.
If you side with the mages. you leave right away with your companions. The templars have no stomach for any more fighting and dying. The templars develop a respect for Hawke. Your companions eventually leave you for other pursuits.
The Seeker believes you could influence one side or the other or both to help end the war.
The question is whether you like the ending or not. The writers wrote their vision of the ending. It may not be the ending the player wants.

This was pretty much why I liked the ending. It was there from the start really. They began the story with the ending kinda

The templars ended up rebelling against the Chantry as well, to hunt mages.  I assume that the Chantry tried to come to some compromise after the Circles rebelled and the templars refused to do so.  But Cassandra thinks the templars will listen to Hawke is he/she says all this fighting has to stop so we can work out a peace.  Of course that doesn't answer the question of why she'd think they respect Hawke even more than the Divine herself even if Hawke did stand with them one time.

Plenty of threads talking about the debacle that was the ending. Maybe it became such a depressing topic that it's not as popular a thread subject as before.

I just imagined my own ending where right before Anders blows up the Chantry, Ser-Pounce-A-Lot arrives and exorcises Justice from Anders by giving him an adorable kitty stare.

Then Meredith and Orsino finally admit their love for one another, embrace each other, and then go back to the Gallows to have wild, raunchy sex for the next two weeks.

Woah.  I didn't think Orsino could create an image more horrifying than the Harvester.  Yet there it is.  Bravo, FotD.  I projectile vomit in your honor.

I wonder if the 3 headed dragon staff can be used in creative ways. Maybe the red lyrium can even enhance the experience.

With a little blood magic, Orsino can keep himself nice and firm for as loooong as he wants!


(any and all puns intended)

Meredith orgasming.



Wow Orsino. For an elf, you actually pack a punch.
