Hard to say.  Could be a lot of things.  I don't finish most JRPGs I try, for instance, because I usually hit a point where I have to grind, and I find that boring.  Thus, every time I think of picking it back up I'll think, "But I have to spend all evening grinding.  I'll do something else instead", until I eventually stop thinking about continuing it.  Yet, I've still played a couple of dozen of them.

 

Shameless plug for the game of my avatar, Chrono Cross, in which you can skip virtually all trash mobs in the game and just fight bosses. You only gain levels by defeating bosses; fighting regular enemies might randomly net you +1 stat here and there and that's it.

I don't see how anyone can get even close to a correct number when it comes to completion rates. Alot of people do play offline, after all.

Unless you assume offline players are a LOT more likely to finish than connected players as long as your online sample size is large enough it won't matter.

He won't let you if you're in a romance, though, which is probably the case here.

D'oh! Completely forgot about that. (Never played a character who was in a romance with him all the way to the end.)
 

Edit: Also, which games did you have in mind for making the PC be evil?

DAO comes to mind, actually. I can't come up with a PC who ends up with werewolves or templars. I'm still working on trying to find a way to side with the templars in DA2. Some of the stuff you can get up to in MotB is pretty bad; One of Many is not my cup of tea. And some of the ME Renegade choices are pointless douchebaggery -- which is probably a more useful term than "evil."

I have similar problems in some 4x games. I can't get into playing Miriam or Yang in SMAC, for instance.

As long as sales are good... and there are enough people to provide feedback to what Bioware want... i don't really see why Bioware would care if 20% of players finished the game

 

This is an assumption on my part... but the statistic you've gotton, i guess it is from the Steam tracker that they have that monitors achievements (it may not be...in which case i apologize).. but from what i've experienced console players are more willing to complete games... so the overall players of the DA games who've finished the game may be higher

People who don't complete Dragon Age games probably do so with all the games they buy.
So it should be of little concern to Bioware. It's the gamer's loss if they don't complete the game.
Personally, I'm a completionist, so I won't even start a new game unless I intend to complete it (and in the case of Dragon Age, multiple times).

I intended to complete DA2. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
