Dragon Age's ending was a bit cliche, but in a good way. A cliche is created when someone does something so well, that everybody tries to copy it, and do so poorly. Dragon Age ended with a victory party, your friends around you, and unknown adventures ahead with whoever you loved.

Man, maybe that will keep me from wanting to drink myself half to death after ME:3.

DA:O is Bioware's crowning jewel IMHO. Great story, great characters, great ending. It has flaws, don't get me wrong, but as a whole it's one of the greatest games I've ever played.

Too bad ME3 (and now the ME series as a whole) is such a complete and utter failure - and it's all because of the last 15 minutes. Five years, undone in 15 minutes - it's astonishing, really.

Same with ME2. I think I'll probably manage to replay the game twice before they do something with this **** ending.

Yeah, you make a good point. I LOVED every single minute of that game. It was so flawlessly executed. I've never enjoyed a game so thuroughly. I was ready to call it my favorite game ever, only for the last 15 minutes to swoop in like a ninja and leave me feeling almost as despressed as when my dog died.

Ugh...

Seriously thats all we asked for. In DA:O your character can die, but its alright because you feel you have accomplished something with your death plus you get a resolution, you find out what happened to everyone in the end. I actually decided to sacrifice myself the first time through as I felt it did the most good and I loved it.

With ME3 none of my decisions matter, Shepard dies in every ending, all the choices go against my Shepard, and I have no idea what happened to anyone. A total failure.

True. I did one playthrough while in a particularly synical mood where the warden died in the end. It was so beautiful that I was cheered up.

You can get an ending that Shepard doesn't die but all you get to see is him/her under a pile of rubble taking a breath.

Actually it made me want to play Fallout 3 again. There's one great game that learned from past mistakes and now is awesome.

Eh, it's implied heavily enough that he's alive, and possibly more. Still, the endings were so depressingly bitter... It wasn't clever writing, it was sadistic.

Same, I've started replaying DA:O a lot actually and I'm already mid-awakening and going to finish Witch Hunt next.

I agree completely about DA:O... After that, the fall of Bioware began...

I won't go as far as agreeing that all ME is ruined. After all, except for the ending and the secondary quests (bugs & lack of direction) in general, ME3 is not that bad. I find multiplayer quite fun actually.
But as far as a trilogy goes, we are light years from an end like Lord Of The Ring or Star Wars...

DA2 is better than ME3...at least it can be replayed, but ME3 is a one-playthrough RPG - never thought I would ever see a RPG that could only be played once.

DAO is good for it is the right type of grey and with a possible happy ending. Even within DAO:A, it is not hopeless or emo.

It can be though, and that's the beuty of it. Sometimes I want to see things end badly, and sometimes I want Starwars or LotR.

Heh ... I'm going way >way< back to Jade Empire this weekend (as my original plan of replaying ME3 over and over again was ... totally ruined). JE and Baldur's Gate are the the only ones that don't have some kind of sequel or add-on that I have to pretend doesn't exist - and I don't have my BG discs handy.

And after that he die without his implants from Lazarus Project. Seriously...

Good thing Miranda's still alive. She can bring Anderson back while she's at it.

Dragon Age had an epilogue, both post-war talk with all your squaddies and in the form of a slideshow, which I must say was very well done.

It's KOTOR for me. Haven't booted it up yet though. May look around to see what the recent mods have been sometime soon.

But I miss the good old days when Bioware games had the same story structure. Tutorial level, then boring introductory level. You become part of a well respected order, then are off to save the world/galaxy. You have 4 main missions, and after completing a number of them, you get captured/impounded/attacked. You escape, finish up whatever missions you have left. Have a romance scene. Epic climax. Choice. Boss battle. Celebration. Credits.

I miss this structure soooo much. :(((
