I was two seconds away from posting something similar. You did so well you ninja'd me even before I could hit reply.

 

My title is Shadow

 

Agree whole heartedly.  The worst part of DAO for me was overwhelm, just ran through Haven and watching Alistair lose more than half his hp bar to one was truly upsetting, or seeing my poor warden get one shot :'(

 

We can reel them in like fishes. If I can do something, I want the enemy to also be able to do it!

 

Fighting againist an equally capable/superior enemy is how you become a Shadow!

The misuse of the term "cliffhanger" makes me sad. A story ending with every plot thread not being neatly resolved is not a cliffhanger.

So, I don't know if he's referring to the ending of DAII, but I suspect he is. In which case, I'm sorry, but that was a cliffhanger. When your story ends with the protagonist mysteriously disappeared and the world on the brink of collapse- that's a cliffhanger. There is no movie, TV show, or book that you can that way and claim it wasn't a cliffhangar. I defy anyone to show me proof to the contrary.

Except the Warden wasn't the protagonist.  He had nothing at all to do with the story of DA2.

 

Think of it like the end of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (because that's the example that pops to mind).  Barbossa walks down the steps with an apple.  Screen fades to black.  OH WOW COOL.  Most people would call that a cliffhanger.

 

But it's not.  It's introducing this new element to the story that will be expanded upon the next movie.  It's a hook to get you interested in the next movie.

 

Same situation.  The Warden is mentioned at the end, so that you'll be interested.  "Ooh, why has the Warden disappeared!  What's happened?!"  But the main plot has been resolved.

Hawke disappeared as well.

 

A cliffhanger literally is an unresolved, suspenseful situation at the end of something, be it a chapter, a movie (for that, the second Hobbit movie would be a great example), or in this case, a videogame. At the end of Dragon Age 2, the world is on the brink of chaos and both the Warden and Hawke are announced to have disappeared. The sentence "Gone. Just like the Warden," that Cassandra utters to Leliana could be seen as a cliffhanger.

He was referring to the warden ending in DAO and the possible outcome in DAI and how some people needed to know whether he dies or not .. he would say something and someone would jump to a conclusion and yada yada usual twitter nonsense

Yeah, it's not that the plot threads don't get neatly resolved, it's that a new very important one is introduced at the very end.

 

HAWKE AND THE WARDEN ARE MISSING?!

 

That's what makes it a cliffhanger.

If that is what he was talking about, then I absolutely agree. It's what I suspected considering I don't see how someone couldn't call DA2's ending a cliffhanger. 

 

But let's get back to the tweets to remain on-topic.

Epic burn is epic. I love Aaryn Flynn.

A cliffhanger is when I left Sar'Neda to wonder what intel she's getting for her first op in Migrant Fleet Marine.

 

You know SOMETHING's gonna happen, but you've no clue, potentially keeping the tension. Especially since some authors decide to cut off a chapter with the sentence "This was going to suck" and then not appear for the next four months. THAT is a cliffhanger!

 

The ending of DA2 solves the issues at hand, opening up for Inquisition to pick up, but not in a cliffhanger.

 

P.S.: Shameless self-promotion ftw.

[Vaticinator]

 ...claim it wasn't a cliffhangar. I defy anyone to show me proof to the contrary.

On the contrary, a cliffhanger is an ending which intentionally leaves the audience in suspense. I wasn't referring to the warden, I was referring to Hawke, who IS the protagonist of the story, and has disappeared.

PotC 2 is the definition of a cliffhanger ending- the point was to leave the audience in suspense for the next movie, which had already been filmed. Another example would be the matrix 2 or back to the future 2. The main plot has been resolved but the fates of the protagonist and the results of their actions are deliberately left hanging to encourage people to see the next movie.

Do they really want to go there? Because I have a feeling the reprisals would be worse. I understand confidence in their current title, but I wouldn't let it get to my head either.
 
Edit: Also, SHOTS FIRED!!

Saying 'Ripped off' isn't exactly polite.
Anyway, I'll enjoy both games.
