The only evil things you could do was during judgments....
My only complaints about the game is:
Lack of blood explosions/gore
No evil choices.
But I'm afraid I don't require a box of tissues. ![]()

You are more than welcome to donate some boxes of tissues to me. I may need them after seeing your avatar.
I am ashamed of how long it took me to get that joke

Lack of blood explosions/gore
I'm just happy we don't have parachuting blood sacks anymore...
As to the OP...just because you complain about the ending, doesn't mean Bioware is going to give you new ending DLC.
Just saying.

I'd give the conclusion a 7/10

Another hate thread pops up. Good.
The whole game sucked.

Just look at it like this- the real climax of the game was The Arbor Wilds. That's where your amassed forces and allies made their stand. That's where Corypheus officially lost against the Inquisitor. The final battle was just a means of getting rid of Corypheus, solidifying the Inquisitor's awesomeness, and establishing Solas as...something. I don't know if I'm optimistic enough to think that the Inquisitor will be the PC in DA4, but I do think that they will be the one who deals with Fen'Harel and his plans, so I imagine they'll at least get something on par with Awakening to deal with that.

-Our forces are conveniently left behind in the Arbor Wilds (and we are given no explanation)
Uhm.... In case you haven't noticed, you had used an Iluvian. While your forces obviously had no such luxury. A small group might have followed back quick enough (e.g. Cullen) but it takes longer to relocate vast armies across the land. Also note, that they had no internet and delivering a small message like "I'm safe and I'm home. Get back. Yours, Inquisitor" takes some time.
Just look at it like this- the real climax of the game was The Arbor Wilds.
Actually. the REAL climax of the game was 'in your heart shall burn'. Emotional-wise that was the most epic moment, imo. Arbor was even slightly weaker than retaking the Adamant. That's kinda strange to get the 'top' moment in the middle of the game, but (as I've mentioned many times) that's probably intentional.
The game does not really 'end' per se. It feels incomplete because it IS incomplete - the Inquisition still continues, with all its powers, allies and enemies. To me the only possible 'ending' can be disbanding the Inquisition, preferably - by my own choice (I'd hate it to be done off-screen by a random tweet, really)
No 'big plots' are available with such a scale of influence, which means that any sequel would require sweeping it away first somehow. Or, may be, some sort of 'lesser' plots (e.g. DA2).

yep that's a good one.
Secondly:

Thirdly:
- Sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit, but
- my amount of sarcasm is proportionate to the amount of stupidity I am presented with.
Oh, and to go full circle, fourthly:
- None of the above is personal to you by the way,
- with regard to the 'if you can say nothing nice...' saying
that ship had already sailed with the OP's title and original post.

Unless Bioware goes back on their new protagonist for every game approach the Inquisition and Inquisitor are done.
They could always do a couple of Awakening sized expansions in addition to DLC.
Given how well DAI is selling and the acclaim they're getting for it (And no, whinging on the BSN doesn't make that any less true), they'd be mad not to milk it fully.

Ha. You're not wrong.
In all honestly, there's nothing wrong with a discussion,
but I do dislike really negative opinions 'stated as fact' in a title, when that's just a view.
You see it regularly in newspapers, where a quote is headlined as a 'fact',
It does make me a little snarky, I like DAI, and of course I can see its faults, but what is the fun in 'I hate this', 'this sucks' etc. posts?
I come to the forum because I like the game (more fool me I suppose) and much of what you see is grumpy and angry.

You lost me at "we only had one ending". There were a ridiculously large amount of endings to this game, not only with regards to your final world state but also the myriad of possible outcomes for your companions.

Dear BioWare, Your Ending Sucks. Here's Why:
-You promised forty different endings (this accounts for multitudes of minor variations and slightly fewer major variations, of which there are none) and we got one instead.
Dear Vultrae,
you sadly have wrong information on this issue. Bioware never promised us 40 endings. But instead 40 threads complaining about the ending each day.
And I think they kept their promise on this, with your help. Very kind of you, a true fan!

I think you need to have dementia to comprehend these forums...
That way, it's a new topic each day.

"40 endings" was a misprint by some magazine. Mark Darrah clarified this...almost a year ago.
This
Bioware explained repeatedly that the 40 endings in the publication was wrong. I knew as soon as I saw it that it would come back to bite them. They tried to clear this up but you did not see it or bother to google it.
There was never a true number given. The endings do vary based on your choices. Also, your experiences do vary as well. I have completed 4 different playthroughs now. The first 3 were completely different except for some of the main story outcomes which will be the same for all of us (e.g. Cory being defeated). The 4th playthrough was the first time I started to feel like I was having a similar experience as the others. But even in that one, I still discovered things I never saw in the other playthroughs.
We should give Bioware credit for greatly improving choice impact, character development and dialogue options.
Regarding the Cory fight, I completely agree. Bioware seems to do this to themselves a lot. They will have these epic battles early in the game or series (in this case Arbor Wilds and Haven). But fail to have the final battle exceed the previous. Given how much we are told about Cory being a powerful mage and possibly unkillable, it was lame. He used very few abilities. Also, the fight was really lame compared to the Cory battle in Legacy DLC.
I wish they would have someone review the final battle designs in comparison to previous ones. If it is not more epic, scrap it and come up with something else. It also appears that the individuals that designed the final battle were different than the Haven or Arbor Wilds group. Developers should keep their same people on boss battles to maintain consistent level of quality and ensure that each battle is better than the previous one.

I never expected different endings for DAI, so I wasn't disappointed. To me, this is very different than the debacle that was ME3's horrendous ending (didn't help that individuals such as Casey Hudson were lying constantly). I didn't see such grand promises for the ending this time. Overall, I would rate the ending as "adequate". The final boss fight, along with the ending felt very rushed to me.

Ah, another opinion thread present as fact.
It was admittedly a little anti-climatic for my tastes, but did I think it was genuinely terrible? No. I've played far too many games with far worse endings to even consider labelling it a an awful ending.
It did enough to leave me content but could have done more I suppose.

I myself would've loved atleast to have the option of an Ultimate Sacrifice. Not because I love death or anything, but because like in Origins, I'd like to see how deeply my Inquisitor had affected the people around him/her. It would've added depth to it all. Just as it would've added depth to it if they would've greeted a surviving Inquisitor with more relief and gratitude.
The last scene in your quarters is cute yes, but it felt like there had never been any doubt concerning his/her survival.. I can't really put my thoughts to words.. I just love to see true, deep passion of any aspect in action, not just leave it to my own imagination, not when it comes to games like these. I like true romantic happy endings, just as much as I like tragic ones, where you still cry tears of respect and honour in the memory of the person who sacrificed themselves for the greater good. Call me a hopeless romantic, but since the only thing I can do is write my own stories with my own characters, I love to see other people write stories about theirs, and in this case I find it awesome that I can have a hand in shaping that story. :3 Just make the choice/consequence thing more visible.
Now I'm just eagerly waiting for the expansions and my lottery win so I can buy a new gen console, and be able to enjoy the game in all its glory. No hate guys! I respect all your opinions, these are just my thoughts.

Wasn't forced to do something I found incredibly evil in order to "win"
No stupid forced sacrifice.
Good enough. Not as good as DAO. But passable.
Heh. I didn't care for the ending, but I'll take a moderate disappointment over an abomination any day!
