I was wondering the other day.

There was suppose to be a DLC Exalted March which finished Hawkes story.
If
it wasn´t for the bad sales, we would have a 100% complete game. But
BW/EA decided to make a game without  finishing the ending to increase
profit through ending DLC? Isn´t that the same as watching the whole LOTR saga, but  end it before Frodo throws the ring in Mr. Doom, they you have to pay extra to see the last 15 minutes?

Is this the furutre of BW games? Make 95% of the game to "force" players to spend more money to be able to finish it
So
Im guessing next time I buy a BW game, I´ll will get an incomplete
game? So I should wait 1,5 year after the release to buy a full game
including DLC?

Or have I misunderstood something?



Im kinda worried.

The game is complete. We would just have gotten an expaneded ending for Hawke.

I say thank god they seen the light and put Dragon Age 2 to rest.If the previous DLC had good sales numbers they would have continued the story for Hawke.

Hawke's story felt complete enough for me, he ran off with Anders and disappeared. Just like my Warden ran off with Alistair and done the same.

The problem with Dragon Age: Origins isn't that the game was incomplete. It was very complete. But then they added an expansion, Morrigan's DLC, and that last line in DA 2. DA:O was never a story about the Warden, but about defeating a Blight. Just like Luke, Hans, and Leia did stuff after Return of the Jedi, the Warden does stuff after the defeat of the Archdemon.

DA II and ME 3 are different beasts. DA II was a story about Hawke, but it was also about conflict between the Qunari and Andrastians and conflict between the Mages and Templars.

I see my story as one of a Fereldan refugee entering a city in turmoil, making good, reclaiming her ancestral estate, guiding the city through some major turning points in history, and becoming the Viscount. Others might see their story as one about a person who enters Kirkwall as a refugee trying to make good who constantly finds themselves in the middle of other people's fights. They rise high, only to have everything taken from them at the end, fleeing their home in Kirkwall like they once fled their home in Lothering.

Both of these totally work as character arcs.

The storytelling itself lacked clarity. I'd have preferred the various conflicts with the Qunari and Mages to have been pushed to the background, obstacles for Hawke to overcome as she pursued more personal goals. Each of them leading to a breaking point that she ultimately uses to get what she wants.

Yes, we get those THEY BOTH DISAPPEARED bits from Leliana, but I don't think that's part of the story proper, but lead up to DLC, expansion pack, or DA III. Unfortunately, I need to compare it to the Stargazer scene at the end of ME 3.

As for ME 3. Uh, yeah, there was an ending. The problems people have with it extend far beyond whatever issues DA II might have and elaborating on them is something better done in a different forum.

Or at the very least having some kind of personal reason why Hawke would get involved in that mess to begin with.

But, yes, DA2 was a complete game.  The DLC was just add-ons.  Heck, they've even said that the important bits of story that were going into Exalted March are going to be folded in to DA3.

The devs want to work on DA3 now, and you always get better stuff out of people when they're doing what they really want to be doing.

I think they should just focus on DA3.

I think mine was incomplete because I don't have a broadband conenction and so could not get Exiled Prince
