Nope, I did not cry. The only game ever to make me sad was Suikoden when that guy sacrifices himself to save the hero.

Suikoden, great series imho though I only played 1 to 4. ~just saying~

If you put in the effort you can reverse it. I hated the ending of V so much I played the whole thing again and got the 108 without cheats just to save that person.

@DL 4 was mostly horrible although I liked the ship battles. Five is more back to the roots of the series.

After it was over for me it was a huh? that's it? Everything was rushed or it tried to play on emotions instead of being emotional, the whole thing with the cannon fodder family you hardly knew, meh.

Suikoden II was arguably the best in the series, though I did enjoy V. IV was probably the worst of the bunch, especially with the sheer amount of random encounters present in that game.

In DAO, the companion farewells before the last battle always get me especially with the somber music. First time through I sacrificed my Warden. In Stens epilogue it says that he silently bowed to the Warden and returned to Par Vollen without saying a word. When asked if he met anyone worthy in his travels, his reply was that he had found only one.

At this point I became a bonified "softee."

Not once in dA2.

I Was facepalmed facing the death of my mother. I rather say, " What the hell is that ? Seriously Bioware ? " 
The only time I felt something was when Merrill cries and throws me out of her home, desperate for my betrayal.
And Isabela  when she confesses her true feelings.

But in the end, I was just impatient. " Quickly, let's finish this story "

In DAO

I had tears in my eyes for the death of Duncan ( shame on me ), I felt a strong emotion, sadness at the death of my parents in human origin, and anger at the traitor.

I felt a strong sadness when I wanted to exile Alistair and choose Loghain. He was so... I can not find the words. Finally I killed Loghain, I could not betray him ...

The end is beautiful, even if I did not shed a tear, she is empathetic.

Did you shed any tears at the end of Dragon Age 2?

Yes, tears of frustration. The whole premise of the game was a lead-in to a 30 second 'revelation' which, despite being visible from a mile off, was also a major anti-climax in retrospective analysis of what was supposedly a sequel to Dragon Age Origins. In terms of quality they were literally worlds apart.

The Chronicles of Kirkwall weren't a worthy second chapter in the story of Dragon Age, not in the least. In almost every regard the Warden trumps Hawke, nevermind the fact that the experience of Hawke's story was so dull and repetitive. I'm not going to feel any emotional investment in Hawke in the eventual Dragon Age title which brings together the Warden and Hawke in companionship, not when Hawke's character development in Chronicles of Kirkwall was so boring and lacking in substance.

The player is never going to sacrifice their Warden - who saved templars and mages from demons AND stopped a blight - in preference of some human stouche who can't resolve differences between Humans and Qunari, or even peacefully resolve a dispute between templars and mages without massive bloodshed.

It seems as if Hawke was set-up to be the fall guy, and well, I question Bioware's motives for later story-telling. If you want players to be forced to make hard decisions later on, give them two or more characters they're really emotionally invested in. Hawke is never going to be that character. Not after DA2. I'd sacrifice Hawke at the altar for companionship with Morrigan, and for what Bioware has planned, that simply shouldn't be the case.

[MagpieZ]

I did not shed any tears either. In reality for me it felt like a sophisticated exercise in misanthropy in three acts. At least in DA:O you could develop some ties here and there due to the fact that you could steer entire situations to your favour. As a result you had a much clearer picture of whom you disliked and whom you actually liked. That was reflected in the final moments as well.

I think it really boils down to how much active influence you do have on the whole situation. The problem I am seeing is that they tried to tell a story not  wholly  based on the obvious Big Bad and his Evil Minions and then going back to the old Final Boss principle which is then a hardwired scenario. In retrospect it makes you completely apathetic to any character you have encountered which for me also - despite having stopped about 2.5 playthroughs - dropped the replay value a bit. Even though I admit it's easier to replay than DA:O was. 

[Nerys]

I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried several times in both games.
DAO-The origin stories of the Dalish, and City elves are particularly sad. (Losing Tamlen and giving up on him, only to discover him later ...Seeing Shianni lying there on the floor, and the way she protects others from the truth of what happened to her.)
Also the Human story to a lesser extent.
DA2- OMG Anders. It doesn't matter if I romance him or not, Kill him for his crime, or let him live. He is a character in turmoil and obvious pain. It breaks my heart. The entire ending, I am always in shock. 3 playthroughs so far. (Hehe, serious Anders fan here obviously)
Merrill- When she asks Pol "why did you run?" OMG and later on... (Eve Myles is amazing)
I didn't feel as attached to the mother as I did to Bethany and Carver. When I lost my siblings it was quite sad. ( I feel like the mother never quite "left" Lothering where her child died, and never forgave herself or her other children for surviving... IMO)
Funny how DA can make me cry. I rarely cry at movies, or while reading.
Sorry this ran a bit long...

[element eater]

ive just been playing dao again and i have to say leaving the clan in the dalish origin was a sadder moment then any of those in DA2

[Montana]

Duncan/Cailan dying
Dalish clan origin
City elf origin
Human noble origin
Alistair making the US with my female warden in love with him

All of those moments were more emotional than everything that happened in DA2 combined.

The only tears I've shed over DA2 is:
"Why wasn't it better?"
"Why wasn't it the spiritual successor of the spiritual successor of BG?"

[Chuvvy]

My thoughts on the end of DA2. "Alright time for act 4. Wait, wut?"

[blauterranit]

Maybe I am a sentimental, but I've cried when Hawke's mother dies. Perhars this scene hits close to me... perhars it's an even that could be lived by anyone of all us, perfecty , in real life: mad people killing your family is not so strange, unfortunatly.

[KingJason13]

I'll let you know when the "Ending" DLC appears...

[Ohpus]

Anders' said "distract her while I do something." I'm like, yeah that's going to happen with you acting unstable. Then I'm forced to do it anyways just to advance the plot. I mean, why did they bother to ask, why not just do a cut scene?

The only choices I had were which companion to romance, and even this was more of a burlesque tease. I would have had more fun watching a DA2 movie.

Yep. If anything Hawke accelerated the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent people. Not only did our character have very little influence in the game...Everything just sort of fell on our laps due to OTHER CHARACTERS decision making. We were just along for the ride.

Would have made a better movie...

[Medhia Nox]

I cried in the way Oedipus cried when he discovered the terrible truth he 'thought' he was looking for.

Fortunately - no gouging of eyes followed. I didn't have any broaches.

But the loss of my money and my time was bad enough.

[Xerxes52]

Nope, I was disappointed, with both the lack of an ending and the fact that Orsino got a hold of the Idiot Ball when we were slaughtering the Templars.

They do make it nearly impossible to have any sympathy for the mages in this game. I'm starting to think the Qunari, and even Ser Alrik have the right idea.

[Guitar-Hero]

No, but then again i didn't exactly shed tears over DA:O, i found it hard to get emmersed with my character in origins, in DA2.. Hawke get's annoying after a little while so that broke emmersion aswell.

Great post. The line I double quoted is one of my favorite endings of videogaming history. Way more intense than anything that happens in DA2 and it's only one of several possible outcomes.

[MonkeyLungs]

And ... oh yeah ... DA2 is the most disappointing ending in a Bioware game since ever since.

[ken78]

There were 2 parts of DA2 that provoked an emotional response from me. The first was at the end of Act 1. I took Bethany with me to the deep roads without Anders. I was crushed at how it turned out and went back to replay that portion. I was then disappointed about how much she was involved in the rest of the game. The other time was at the end of Leandra's quest line in Act 3.  The ending didn't provoke much from me either way. It was rather unsatisfying.

I didn't really have many emotional responses in DA:O. It was standard adventurer fare. I enjoyed the city elf and dwarven noble beginnings the most. I was a bit disappointed in the ending (again, standard adventure fodder). The most satisfying ending in DA:O was letting Loghain die to redeem himself. I definitely prefer the Mass Effects endings to either DA ending.

Yeah, cried? No. I was kinda irritated.

I finally played DAO, Awakening & Witches Wake then started straight onto an import on DA2. Through the whole game I'd played the diplomat, the peacemaker. My Hawke had worked her ass off to try difuse the tension & stop things going to hell and had despite her best efforts failed (with no actual option of success or any real impact on events available in the game) - thwarted every time by the very people she was trying to help. Add to this that she was personally screwed at every turn and by the end of Act 3, patience was wearing thin. And then big fight over and nothing. The end. Credits. WTF? I don't think so. I'm not just walking away in disgust. Marian Hawke did not just go through all of that just to let some over zealous psychopaths force her out her home. Not this time. Let whole armies come. I'll defeat them all or die trying. People of Kirkwall listen up, we're doing this MY way...

Um, Anyway.

Honestly, I'm starting to suspect that the writers must hate Hawke. But nothing they did to Hawke jerked any heart strings. I got more attached to the Mabari than I did any of Hawkes family. Really I felt worse about the Arishok and he frustrated the hell out of me. I felt worse about choosing godhood over Jaheira. I felt worse about Deionarra, and hell that wasn't even me, but a previous incarnation.

But DA2? No, I only got frustrated, irritated and annoyed with most of the story and characters. Maybe Mr Martin had a hand writing it. Everybody gets screwed in the end.

Hmmn. That actually makes me feel better about it all in that light.

Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed DA2. Never used much of her specialisation, and wanted to slap her silly at times, but you wouldn't catch me without Merril. Though as I played a Dalish Warden the disconnect at the competant older sister version I met at the start of DAO and well, Merril in DA2 did throw me a bit. Anders I could understand given the circumstances, though he was a lot more fun in Awakenings. Isabella's sass was fun and I liked varric, though I rarely took him as I prefered a 2 mage combo with Anders. Now I've noticed I'm rambling. Time to end intoxicated rant/post.

Yep, especially since I already descided that I'd make the US and leave him as king, then he said "I love you and I'm doing it!"  and grabbed the sword, killed the archdemon then died.

I remember saying "Noo, damn you Alistair!" out loud when he killed the archdemon and died.

This is one of the more memorable moments in my gaming history.

You've never played "Black Mirror", have you?

As for the Warden Commander ending...

First time I got it, it was triggered by the "Alistair thinks he is king even when he isn't" bug. (Made Anora solo queen after executing Loghain) So I wasn't moved and did not cry but I cussed quite a bit because it is the most aggravating bug I've ever encountered in an RPG since ever since.:innocent:
