And I am comparing it to Origins, again, where so many players addmitted to have shed manly tears at the end of the game and in quite a few other passages during the story.

DA2 caused me no emotion whatsoever. It is a cool game, like AC1 or AC2 but when I reached the end of my first Origins run and had my Warden, whom I cared so much for, sacrificing himself, I couldn't help but cry since the funeral up to the credits! Also, many other passages in Origins caused me a lot of emotion. I remember a thread with lots of pages of people sharing their emotions, brought up by that game, so immersed into it they were.

I am not asking if you cried in anger because you bought DA2 and it is a poor game in your opinion. I am asking only about emotions that you may have felt because of the story. I didn't feel anything in any moment of DA2. I couldn't care less for any companion, family, disgraces or anything. I felt more emotion with the Cousland origin alone (and the others too) than with the whole DA2. In the end, DA2 is just a good action game to me.

[MorrigansLove]

Yes with origins, such a great, emotional ending.
No with DA2, I just felt very, very angry.

[Eurypterid]

There were companions and characters I really liked and thought were well done. But no, I didn't have the same reactions as I did in DA:O. I had a number of WTF moments and I was genuinely pissed off that there was no way to change the course of Anders' actions no matter what standing he had with your character.

I wasn't angry, but in the end though, I was disappointed with the game and just relieved to finish it.

Even a brief scroll-through of these forums will show you that people had *very* strong feelings about what happened at the end of the game. Especially those who were romancing Anders. It obviously inspired a lot of strong emotion in many players.

[blothulfur]

No.

[gingerbill]

No , wasnt a big fan of the end . The end of DAO i loved and that did have an emotional affect on me.

I hated how merril didnt even speak to you after you kill her clan , didnt even mention it. that was silly.

[savagesparrow]

I shed some tears regarding the 'All That Remains' quest--the ending was really beautifully written. But other than that, nooope.

[ashyraine]

I'll admit I cried the first time through. The Anders romance just crushed my heart.. but the tears didn't fall until "I'm Not Calling You a Liar" started playing at the end.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

No tears at all, not like in DA:O.

DA2 ending was a bit 'WTF' and facepalm with the overdone special effects, unavoidable monster/insane boss fights, humanity-destroying plot devices and irritatingly vague 'This was the result of your actions' narration.I didn't feel victorious or happy or sad. Disappointed, mostly. I was hoping for a little more closure (fleeing Kirkwall with my companions, for instance...or having the chance to say I don't *want* to be the sodding Viscount. Alas, character choice...)

But the good parts of the game make up for the end. Like 90% of Witch Hunt made up for Morrigan's cameo of telling you absolutely nothing in ten minutes of dialogue.

I loved what they did was that tune... great song

[suprhomre]

Are you kidding me. The end was one of the worst ever. But, I did felt a little touch when some of his family member died.

[Fieryeel]

Not the kind of tears you 'd expect, but I wept at the incredible potential that was lost if DA2 had another year of dev...it could have easily been game of the year.

[flexxdk]

I cried...

...because of how horrible this game is.

Also in the sense of relief and happiness that the game is over. (P.S.: You just lost it.)

I felt happy and a bit angry. Happy because I managed to make sure that **** Isabella didnt show up as the person that stayed with me, but Merrill. Angry because I felt empty.... What happened? Why did I disappear in the end?!

[milena87]

No, I'm usually a mix of excited and melancholy whenever I finish an involving game for the first time, and Dragon Age 2 was no different.
But, now that I think about it, I never cried for a videogame... with movies, tv series and books it doesn't take that much though... strange...

[darkshadow136]

I was to happy jumping up and down to get to the end of DA2 to cry at the end. The game was so boring I just wanted it to be over.

[Dragoonlordz]

Very few games have that effect on me, though ones like Valkyria Chronicles ~Isaras death made me come close to welling up I guess.

Valkyria Chronicles Isras death and Rosie's song Part 1 and 2. (BIG SPOLIER)



Followed by this one part 2:



Another one that had an effect one me was certain Final Fantasy games 7, 8 and 10.

Then there was Dragon Age Origins watching this fan made one had an effect.

There wasn't a single time in Dragon Age 2 that had any real effect on me at all. It was a game that invoked no emotion in me and that was due to how badly I feel the drag and drop style of family dumped on you with losses right at start, the deaths and such and bonds through lack of interaction was (not) formed.

In DAO I was really touched when Shale addressed me as "you". And the lifting of the werewolf curse was rather touching as well.

DA2 was mostly WTF? or "I couldn't care less".
Especially "All that Remains" felt completely ridiculous - Teletubby horror - sorry, no offence. What was is it, Anders said on entering the map? "I'm curious if we find more than a bag of bones this times". LOL

[Veovim]

Do you think that the end of DA2 was meant to be a tearjerker? A whole lot of people died, but for the most part, we didn't know any of them all that well. The only exceptions I can think of are the two end bosses (who both go insane and try to kill you), and one or possibly two party members, both of whose deaths are easily avoidable through dialogue. I suppose that if you haven't been working on loyalty, you could end up having to kill half your party, but that's fairly easy to avoid.

If you want a genuinely sad moment, it has to be personal. As has been mentioned before, All That Remains is the best moment for that. If you like Merrill, A New Path could also count.

[Kilshrek]

At the very very end of DA 2, when the cutscene was done, I was confused. Confused and angry, wtf just happened? What was that all about? Did I just follow the story of someone's life, 7 years worth, and get... nothing? I knew precious little more than I did at the start of the game, as Varric sets it all up.

It just felt like it was all leading up to something else, more, and then *credits*

edit : I feel I must add, I've said this elsewhere, and quite some time ago, but the end of Fable 3 had me pretty sad. Even though I kind of saw it coming, when it actually happened it was a sad moment.

If you didn't get teary eyed during act 2 you have no soul.

The end of Act 3 wasn't nearly as strong as that though.

[BigEvil]

I didn't shed any tears at the end of either, they didn't have that effect on me at the end. DA:O was celebratory at the end, with the coronation and parade, the major threat was ended (for the most part) so no reason to cry. And DA2 gave me a more drained feeling, but that was mainly because on my first playthrough I went through Act 3 over an entire evening/late night without any large breaks so I didn't stop and pick it up again a day later. The ending of DA2 didn't bother me, I could see it setting up the continent-wide conflict not rounding everything up neatly. I'm fine with that.

I'll echo others though, All That Remains got to me, I did actually cry at that. I'm a bit touchy about parents dying, since I lost my father at a young age (to illness), but this is the only game where it actually made me cry. Nothing in DA:O got to me like that, because I felt the epic save the world scenario removed me too much from feeling anything about any tragedies therein. I don't cry at books, games or films often, hardly ever in fact. I'm always joking about laughing when Bambi's mother got killed.
