Sorry if I'm dredging up something that's already been hashed out, but that was a pretty tepid ending, huh?  When I hit OK on the last operation, I expected something like the seige of Denerim or at least the attack on the Broodmother in Awakenings.  Granted, the lead-up had been pretty half-hearted.  I mean, Corypheus had basically been getting his tail handed to him since Haven.  He seemed a little pathetic as arch-villains go.  And the pacing was weak.  Nothing seemed to be building.  Etc.

 

All that aside, when the green light came through the window, I thought:  Awesome, defending against a seige of Skyhold.  Maybe switching between two parties.  Maybe critical choices with life and death consequences, like the Collector Base.  Corypheus is going to show me just how powerful he is.  Maybe even show me that his apparent weakness was all a clever trap leading up to this moment.

 

But what I got was teleported to a non-descript grey floating castle for a relatively short, very easy battle with what amounts to a re-skinned demon and a middling dragon.  Why is the castle floating?  No particularly good reason.  What is the significance of this happening here, now?  Who knows.  It sure looks like Corypheus just arbitrarily showed up and picked a fight without any obvious planning or purpose.  In the end, whereas it felt like hundreds of people were battling the Arch-Demon (on vastly inferior hardware), it took just four members of this massive inquisition to shut Corypheus down for good.  And then there was a party.  The end, except for the post-credit scene.  Which was cool, but too little, too late.

 

I don't know if it's limited resources, or overconfidence in key people, but this and ME3 really leave me questioning why BioWare can't seem to pull together a solid ending for otherwise great games.

Well, ending is really disappointing.

I am very surprised by this, cause DA:I have a potential...

Corypheus is the worst villain ever.

I actually made a similar thread at one point but the reactions were quite mixed. Not everyone disliked the ending.

You had the big battle at the wilds and the ending was fine, all it needed was proper build up to the fight at Haven(which should have been the siege on Skyhold before Inquisitor and their remaikning forces march to Haven.)

 

Do not even compare DAI ending to ME3.

Corypheus isn't the worst BioWare villain. Corypheus isn't even the worst Dragon Age villain.

Yeah the ending was pretty sudden and weak. I spent the whole game expecting a big battle at Skyhold but in the end the keep is left unfinished and Corypheus just shows up with his dragon out in the mountains somewhere; apparently he can make a new breach at will?

 

I got the sense that maybe they planned for more but then just had to settle for what we got.

Sorry but last fight with Corypheus is a bad joke. The whole ending looks like a joke.

Who wrote such s.... ?!

The build up was lacking, otherwise the end is fine. Needed to be executed a bit better, because yeah I would have liked at least more than a cutscene, suddenly putting us right in front if Corypheus.

It feels a tad sudden, but I thought it was otherwise good. Really wish we could've at least gotten all our companions fighting at once though

Main quest is great except big finale.

Same thing happened to ME3 finale.

 

I think BW needs to bring new people to their team.

I would have liked a battle against waves of demons and red templars (or mages), Not one demon and then a 4 on 1 duel against Corypheus interrupted by a dragon fight.

 

The ending was interesting but un-exciting. Battling Meredith was better, you had to work to survive and everyone (living) helped you.

Personally, I didn't like the idea of the main villain being Corypheus, a dlc antagonist for DA2. Too me, that was a bad move.

Well its not like they didn't foreshadow his survival it in legacy so if anything legacy was a villain preview.

Nope, you didn't miss out, it's an ongoing thing lol.

 

I didn't think the ending was bad, just very weak.

And all the big plot revelations that came post-credits had nothing to do with the plot of the game. Just a big revelation completely out of left field. "Good job, you killed that weak, non-threatening villain with no character. Oh, by the way, here's Mythal and Solas is the Dread Wolf!"

Uh... ok. What does that have to do with any of my Inquisitor's story? Nothing at all :/

The problem isn't that the ending was bad per se, and I liked Corypheus a lot as a villain ... the problem is that the ending was so compressed. It was literally over in 10 minutes, if that. Whereas the final missions in any other Bioware game - even in Mass Effect 3 - was a full, long mission. If there had been some sort of build-up, more story, more interaction, more choices, more traveling, more of anything, before that battle it would have been fine. It may have been somewhat too easy (I felt seriously over-leveled), but that aside, with a proper build-up it wouldn't have been bad. Not the best, but definitely not bad. 

Now it was just a quick little side-thing, or so it felt. Too compressed.

Would you prefer a brand new villain?

Yes, someone who isn't indoctrinated. BioWare has a thing for indoctrination & mind control.

Well, to be fair at this point Corypheus has no allies left and you have spoiled all of his attempts to gain more power.

Well, at least ME3's ending arc (not the ending itself) had drama... DAI's ending was just, meh.

 

Corypheus wasn't an overly bad villain, he just was boring, and the fight against him and Vanatori was too easy/uneventful.

Agree ending was very underwhelming. Liked the post ending party and slides but last battle was poor.

Yeah, I just finished it. It wasn't the worst ending, but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING.

Also anticlimactic.

Nothing is ever jeopardized in this game, except for Morrigan's life, and even then you quickly find out that she's fine. You never feel like the world is on the verge of destruction, or that Corypheus intends to destroy everything you care about. It just feels like I'm listening to some jackass give a generic doomsday speech.

Granted, the twist with Solas at the end was interesting, but it felt contrived and pointless.
