The Maker tells you the Elder One was his solution to mankind's destructive nature. Because obviously the best way to stop people from destroying themselves and each other is to destroy them first. But, if you touch your mark to the purple fade lyrium crystal, you gain control of the elder one. The orange one lets you destroy the elder one and the breach, but there will no longer be magic. Touching the beige crystal causes all humans, elves, dwarves, darkspawn, qunari, spirits and demons to become one race and everyone gets magic so there's no basis for any conflict in the future.

Oh my G*  -  That is possibly the most terrifying thing I have ever read on a forum.  I think i need to lie down with an ice pack now - hopefully the shakes will stop before the game releases.

Fable 2 was probably the biggest slap in the face I've ever experienced. At first, I thought all the lies of Peter Molyneux from Fable 1 had been rectified with the sequel. The game seemed to be better in virtually every way, until the final boss scene... I'm not even sure how someone is allowed to release something so terrible and such an insult to the dignity of every human being.

 

As far as ME3 is concerned, I didn't have a problem with the ending at all. In fact, I expected the game would end as such, as it was unlikely there would be a happy ending. My only criticism was the lack of closure, which was mostly rectified by the extended cut. Otherwise, I thought the moral and philosophical dilemmas posed at the end were some of the most thoughtful and infamous to ever be presented in a video game.

 

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had a terrible ending. It's by far my least favorite out of the TES franchise, but one area that was excessively disappointing was the main story. You were more or less Martin's messenger boy for the entire experience. Finally at the end you have your big moment and you are about to go head to head with Mehrunes Dagon... NOT. Lets just watch Martin turn into the avatar of Akatosh (aka Pokemon battle) and witness as a golden bird pokes an multi-armed demon into submission. Really?

 

The original ending of Fallout 3 before DLC was terrible. You run into a chamber filled with deadly levels of radiation to save the day. I didn't realize we were watching Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan... When has the main character in any BGS title just died at the end of the game? Did they forget that exploration and doing what we want is what made their games fun to begin with?

 

Assassin's Creed 3's ending was terrible. For one, you chase Charles Lee for what felt like an eternity. Also, Desmond dies. Really? Not that I particularly liked his character, but what was his point again? You also apparently release a supernatural being upon the world for fear of reverting back to the stone age. What happened to this franchise? After AC2, it just became ridiculous nonsense. Thankfully AC4 was a bit better, and perhaps ACU will take the franchise back to its roots...

 

Lets hope DAI does not join this list...

Eh Mass effect 3 , as someone already said , it was easily the best game out of the series until the earth mission. 

 

I doubt DA I would have an ending as bad however.

I'd have not minded the ending if it was backwritten to make sense within the wider world. It's one thing to pull a twist that is well substantiated within the world's lore, to create a moment that makes you sit there for ten solid minutes going 'how did I not see that?' It's another to go 'GUESS WHAT GUYS, THIS IS HAPPENING NOW WITHOUT ANY BUILD UP, AREN'T YOU SHOCKED?' The questions and overall beauty that ending could have had were ruined because it simply did not fit due to the lack of lore substantiating it. It was abundantly clear that they changed end games after ME2 and didn't quite know how to handle it than changes in such a way that still worked with all the loose plot threads they had left dangling in the wind. Which is a shame, as that ending could have been amazing. Instead we were given a pick your favorite color scheme and plot lines that were really only fixed within the additional DLC, which is like ripping chunks out of a novel and telling you to read the still in progress supplementary material to understand what is missing.

 

That's all I want from Inquisition, in the end. To make sense within itself. To not have to rely on extended cuts and DLC to work within the world that they've already built. Beyond that? Happy, sad, depressing, or even thought provoking, I couldn't care less. I just want an ending that doesn't make me pinch my face like I've ingested an over ripe lemon because it came out of nowhere based upon the writing that came before it within the story.

Last game I played (sort of ) to the end was Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning.  Great game, terribly predictable ending that I didn't finish over already knowing all the choices before I got there.

 

That game had no choices. Or anything that deserves to be called a 'plot', for that matter.

 

I wouldn't mind a 'sad' or 'bad'(in the sense of a bad outcome) ending for this game, though I'm pretty sure that unicorns and rainbows will be available this time. If the ending is anything like the one from ME 3, however, I'll set myself on fire in front of Bioware's HQ.

I must be extremely lucky because most great games I've played had good endings. The last great game to have a disappointing ending for me has to be KOTOR II.

To be fair to KoTOR II, that ending was due to pressure from Lucas Arts to meet a deadline rather than any intention of the original developers. Even with the restored content mods you can see the closer you get to the ending the less and less there is. They simply didn't have the time with that arbitrary date hanging over their heads.

[EmperorKarino]

Please do not let DA:I have bad ending after puting 50 hours in to shadows or mordor the ending was crap i have noticed most games over the last  few years have done fable 2 comes to mind same ending as shadows of mordor  same with the force unleshed 1 and 2

 

i enjoyed the force unleashed games endings. but i have to agree with you, most games these days have horrible endings.

Oh I know and I still love the game but a perfect last mission would have made it one of the best games ever for me.

Agreed there. If only there was a time machine for us to go back in time and give them a few more months to work on it....

I think ruling by yourself or with the queen is different choices.

Hehe, as entertaining that will be, I think the Dragon Age team learned form the Mass Effect team on not to do something shitty like that.  Plus because of the Keep and having to push the release date back, they had time to smooth anything out (Well they better have)

[rda]

To be hinest' I didn't think the original KOTOR had a GREAT ending, either.

While I can understand your frustrations, one of the themes of Mass Effect was that Shepard and the galaxy didn't know how to deal with the "reaper threat." The reapers had always won. There was no victory plan. I'll admit the ambiguity of the "catalyst" and it's hope as a resolution likely could have been handled better (especially with Leviathan giving necessary context to understand the ending more completely). At the same time, that sense of the unknown and uncertainty was something I felt was really great about the trilogy as a whole. The ending wasn't substantiated in lore because there literally was no history or experience to use. I believe BioWare made the reaper question too complex and ambiguous to resolve, which may have led to a disappointing outcome for some.

 

As far as Dragon Age Inquisition is concerned, we aren't dealing with an unknown and highly-advanced sentient AI master-race that is exterminating species for the purpose of "order." While we don't really know much about the Elder One or his ambitions at this point, DA and ME really have nothing in common, and so I would never expect a comparable ending in any respect. Lets just hope we don't get through the entirety of DAI just to finish the game and a post-credits scene suggests that the "Inquisitor," who was actually Sandal, was dreaming all along yelling "enchantment" and nothing actually happened.

Ruling what? And which queen?

SO: TtEoT comes to mind...

[merik3000]

From what I have heard and seen in all the videos and interviews it seems you can carry on playing after the main story it seems so at it seems extremely unlikely there is any sacrifice endings or your character being forced to die

 

From how they spoke about returning to content even after the main story it didn't sound like they are going the path of DA:O and DA:" which just revert you before the final mission save to do dlc and what not.

 

I agree with what most people said about Mass Effect 3 as a bad ending is all it takes to destroy a fantastic game for me. Though after playing the extended cut it resolved quite a bit like the hey you didn't just blow up the universe via mass relays but unfortunately you only get one chance for a good first impression

After playing Citadel I realized that that is how the game should've ended with Citadel dlc happening after the Earth mission which for me would've been a 10/10 ending.

 

It is a shame that the devs seem to be too close to the project to realise why a majority of us were disappointed but they should realise that they had the bonus of having extra knowledge and context of what those endings meant whereas all most of us saw was Shepard dying alone with some Deus Ex god douche, the mighty fleet you gathered destined to starve out in space due to lack of resources and a long way home without mass relays, different colored beams of light destroying mass relays which after playing arrival made me think I had wiped out every solar system near a relay and finally your loyal crew who stayed with you through thick and thin abandoning you to die whilst they ran away... Ah man I'm still bummed that a game that should've been a 10/10 favorite of all time for me became one of my biggest disappointments just because of 10-20minutes content at the end...

 

To put things into perspective I fully completed Mass effect 2 with all dlc around 8-12 times with a few more mid game save changes like romances whereas I completed Mass Effect 3 2 times... I even fervently hoped the popular Indoctrination theory was true

 

Anyway enough about the past as I truly believe DA:I will not be a repeat of that so much so that I have ordered the Inquisitor edition for the game, guide and the artbook(which I would've gotten the limited edition if delivery to U.K didn't cost almost as much as the bloody item) adding my investment to around £210

 

Due to DA:" having a funny voiced protagonist who allowed me to be sarcastic all the time I still enjoyed it quite a bit even though the ending didn't impress at least it didn't disappoint me either as my expectations were quite lower

 

Damn I have written an essay... DAMN YOU ME3 BOTTLED UP FEELINGS

Yes ME3 is like that guy you knew at school who had everything going for them in life but ends up working in McDonalds Anyway if I managed to enjoy DA:2 so then DA:I would have to royally F**k up to disappoint me! As long as I can be a sarcastic joker constantly who makes inappropriate    jokes at the best times I'm a happy camper We even get 2 voices to choose from so woot. I can't believe I am happy to be working long shifts at the moment otherwise I would go crazy waiting for DA:I to come out

[Birdy]

The fairy queen or evil one? That was taking over the world. Pretty sure I got the right game down.

your not a weirdo, i liked dragonage 2 more than origins also.

[Mummy22kids]

Well I liked the ending of ME3 but I only ever played the EC ending.  I've never played a game with an ending that I truly hated except for Impossible MIssion- I never could get all the puzzle pieces in time. Personally my biggest hope is for at least one of the romances to have a tragic ending.

[Lennard Testarossa]

...I'm not sure you do.

The villain of the game is a dragon called Tirnoch. (You only find out that she's a dragon towards the end of the game. Until then she's just known as some kind of dark goddess.) The entire plot of the game is getting to that dragon and then killing it.
