It wasn't a bad ending, it just a bit anticlimactic. 

 

The attack on Haven was more dramatic. 

[9TailsFox]

The ending was after the credits, not the final fight.

 

Mages, Templars, Cory, Wardens, blights.... you only know see what the underlying theme has been all along. The Inquisition was just meant to set the stage and tie up loose ends from the past 3 games.

DA:2 set stage for Inquisition, Inquisition set stage for Dragon age: old gods.

Can we finally get self contained game with real ending like DA:O is it so much to ask.

It was absolutely a bad ending. Worse than bad. It was a downright terrible ending.

[GreyLycanTrope]

I'll stick with the phrase lackluster.

That my friend means you need to learn the old saying - "It is not the destination that matters, it's the journey!"

 

But ye, pretty sad to have such a tepid ending when it could have been much better without having to put much effort into it. But i guess *reasons* happened, and thats what we got... So i try to enjoy the journey and just ignore the distination

[AikoTM]

I'm a bit lost right now..

I just finished my first playtrough of DAI. 133 hours.. 

 

I don't want to start another one of these Threads, so i just gonna write it here and.. please excuse.. i may also add some stuff that doesn't have something to do with the ending.

 

-

 

Okay.. i'm just gonna write down some thoughts i had during the ending.

 

Meet up with Corypheus

"Oh god.. did he just destroy Skyhold or what did he just transform to a floating island?"

 

"My Dragon" appears

"Oh yeah.. can't wait to see the outcome of that epic battle.."

 

Sidenote.. i chose Cassandra, Varric and Dorian as my Companion in this Battle.

 

Corypheus starts to talk to my Companions.. or at least to Varric, gets interrupted by Dragon Cutscene. 

"Erm.. okay. I was kinda looking foward to hear this.. but yeah.. okay."

 

After Dragon Cutscene

"What?! My Dragon is dead? Dafuq? Why did i even bring him? As a distraction? And why dafuq did he die? My poor dragon :("

 

Battle with Red Lyrium Dragon

"Well.. already killed 10 of you.. that should be easy. I guess..? My dragon was actually 1 lvl higher, than you.. :P"

 

Dragon dead

"Well.. that was easy. Easiest dragon so far actually.."

 

Corypheus defeated

"Hmm.. that's it? Okaay.. eerr what? Solas? What ya doing here, booyyy? Huh? Not supposed to happen? What?!"

 

"Let's go back to Skyhold"

Hmm? So we are not @ Skyhold? Where are we? Why dafuq were there Inquisition soldiers @ the start..? Didn't i see how Corypheus destroyed Skyhold? Was there another Keep, which i couldn't see from my room? Or did he just build one to destroy it? WHERE DAFUQ ARE WE?"

 

PARTY!

"Oh damn.. that reminds me of DAO/DAA v__v"

 

Sneaky sneaky in my room with Cullen.. :3

"Wow.. that was kinda dissapointing. I did expect much more from this scene.."

 

After Credits-Scene

"Ooh.. so Solas is actually the Dread Wolf.. and Flemeth is.. idk what she is.. a weird person, Mythal? Or a part of her? I didn't understand it the first time she explained it to me. So what happend here? Either Solas is Flemeth now or Flemeth gave Solas aka. the Dread Wolf this Soul of an old God thingy.. Why did she die? Or did she die? And why is there an Eluvian? What is she sorry for? WHAT HAPPEND HERE?"

 

Music was awesome btw.

--

 

Okay.. now something else.

There are some things on my mind i just have to say.

 

As we all now, Dragon Age Inquisition is mostly just Side Quest.. and those War Table thingys.

I actually spend 4 days.. 4 DAYS! to complete all War Table Missions before i started the last Main Quest.

Did they have an impact? I don't think so..

I know about Corypheus lineage.. great. Didn't mention it once when i met him. Also had some War Table missions where the outcome was rather dissapointing.

War Table missions about "special weapon schematics".. great.. here.. take a necklace. What?

Sent my Ambassador to negotiations. No success. Well guess i gonna send Leliana next time to threaten him.

 

Weird..

 

And then there is the technical stuff.

 

Animations? (walking, sliding down a mountain etc.) Great. But Animations with 2 persons? (hugging, kissing etc.) OMG. Even DAO had better ones. 

 

Performance was okay until Patch 5. No idea what happend there. Loading was awful. Not talking about loading screens but stuff popping in etc.

ANNOYING!

 

Spoiler

 

Origin.. omg.. Origin. I don't mind stuff like Origin, Steam etc.. especially the Cloud feature for savegames is pretty nice. Less to worry about if your harddrive goes to harddrive heaven. BUT OMG.. do i save too often or why was this cloud thingy always full? Had to delele loads of saves. Speaking of it.. deleting saves in DAI is horrible. "Scroll down, click on save, click delete, yes i'm sure.." repeat. I can't even start a new playtrough yet, because this cloud thingy is full.. again. v__v

And if you have to make this cloud storage sooo tiny.. (100 mb) then please.. let my delete saves via Origin.. not ingame.

 

At the end just one last thing.

I HATE THESE CRAP CONSOLE IMPORTS!

--

 

Okay.. that's enough for now. 

Just one last thing.

 

Multiplayer..

Could you please get some proper server for this? This HOST thingy doesn't work. Why do ppl with freaking stone-age internet connections host a freaking game? Or is the matchmaking just soo bad that i get listed with NA players all the time? LAAAAG!

 

--

 

I know i know.. i alreads said it twice.. just one last thing.

 

This Game.. was fun at the beginning. Okay..Hinterlands.. meeh.. no words needed. But Stormcoast was great. Emprise du Lion awesome.

But.. the more you advanced into the game.. it felt.. empty. I don't know if this is just again a matter of lack of time.. but is was just.. i don't know..  cold, soulless, loveless..

 

Anyway..

 

After all this.. i'm just sitting here and asking myself. "Why is it soo difficult to great something as great as DAO and DAA?"

I miss my Warden.. soo much.

 

I think i'm gonna play DAO now.

 

 

Sorry for bad english and grammar errors or typos. Good night everyone.

Also sorry for the long text which was mostly off-topic i guess.

DA:2 set stage for Inquisition, Inquisition set stage for Dragon age: old gods.

Can we finally get self contained game with real ending like DA:O is it so much to ask.

 

I thought the DA:O ending was incredibly unsatisfying. You don't really do anything but desperately fight to keep the status quo and get played like a fiddle by Flemeth. 

[ESTAQ99]

Meredith's light saber battle was ridiculous.     Theres more to the story coming in the form of DLC.  

 

I suspect you will complain about DA4's ending too.

 

Every single post you make is like coming from a Bioware PR. It could be funny to read them if it wasn't so annoying. BTW, getting more to the story coming from future DLC it shouldn't be an excuse for Bioware spending so many years developing a game with such a poor main plot, plagued with boring fetch quests and an obvious halve cooked, rushed disappointing final battle. As this game progress to the end, it clearly shows that writers and devs were either running out of ideas or money.....or both. I can't deny that this game has the most beautiful graphics I've have seen in a video game, but Inquisition is like picking fruit in an upscale supermarket in USA. The fruit sections have the most stunning looking fruits but as you try them at home, they are tasteless compared to eating those same fruit in their country of origin.

[Personette]

If you think of your time as an "investment" then don't play video games. 

 

But, yeah. The final mission was decidedly the least interesting/epic of all the story missions. Including that first one where you go to Val Royaux to talk. 

[God]

It was absolutely a bad ending. Worse than bad. It was a downright terrible ending.

 

Like this opinion, and its lack of subjective awareness.

 

It was an ok, if underwhelming ending. 

[didjamom]

personally the biggest disappointment for me was the dragon fight,(cut scene where the 2 dragons fly around for a bit) previously you go to some shrine talk to flemeth then you fight/tame a high dragon (greater mystral dragon) to use in fight against  corypheus and it gets it's but kicked anyway.

[Fireheart]

I just wonder why everyone made such a fuss over the red lyrium dragon. One way, you have to go tame a wild dragon or Morri transforms into one. Either way, you still have to fight RL dragon. I don't know why they just didn't fight it in the first place, I mean what was the point of having to seek out another dragon to face cory''s dragon? Honestly I think they did that as fanservice, so that Morrigan lovers could have more to fawn over "my babe Morrigan became a dragon! she's the best!" Especially if you ally with the wardens who are almost kinda dragon slayers, why not just throw them at the dragon while you fight Corypheus. Plus you got Cassandra from famed clan of dragon hunters, and as I recall, she took down two dragons in her movie, so I don't understand why everyone was so scared. Especially since you encounter the dragon early in the game, if you have Blackwall you're still under the impression he is a Grey Warden, so why not have him kill the dragon. Also found it strange how none of the grey wardens even mention the dragon after it leaves Adamant Fortress. The whole Inquisition thinks it's an Archdemon, this would be a good time for them to question the wardens like, "is that really an archdemon? how do we go about killing it?" and offering a deal "help us kill this dragon to redeem yourselves" or something.

 

I was also confused by the final battle. First you're at Skyhold then you're at this really dark place, floating in the sky. I, like many, thought this was still Skyhold, so I was super confused when at the end Inquis says "let's go back to skyhold" what?!! this isn't skyhold, so how we got here? Where are we? I think a lot could've been added to this. Instead of just teleporting the player to the temple of sacred ashes (the actual location of the final battle), we should've had to make our way there, fighting through hordes of Venatori/Red Templars, just like what happened at Haven. Sure, it's a bit of a repeat, but this is supposed to be a final battle, there needs to be buildup. Then after fighting through all of them, you reach the temple and the scene plays out the same it did in the game. Instead of fighting Corypheus alone though, he summons waves of demons, the signature terrors, despair, rage, etc. Then RL dragon comes on to the playing field and Corypheus flees, thinking he's too good for you, he doesn't need to dirty his hands fighting you, so he leaves his dragon to do it. Would've been much better than useless Morrigan or Mythal dragon coming out of nowhere and not accomplishing anything -.- Then if you're in romance there should've been, instead of Cassandra calling out to you, your LI does and they come running looking for you. Apparently, in fact, there was deleted content of your companions seeing you off to the final battle, and there were romance specific dialogues as well.

 

Oh yeah, one other thing. The whole Temple of Mythal and back to Skyhold thing. This was the worst part... At this point, you can continue doing side quests, or just walk around talking to your companions and npcs at Skyhold. No. No no no no no no no. This was where they messed up. From Temple to Skyhold should have been ONE LONG SCENE, where, in a cutscene, you walk back to the war room, and the scene where you start doom upon all the world starts. What I'm saying is, the game SHOULD NOT have dropped you back at Skyhold like it does after every mission, it should have been one long consistent scene, to keep up the urgency and make the player think "phew, finally done with that mess" but then doom upon all the world starts, instead of being given the liberty to just do whatever they want after temple.

 

Ehh, guess I'm done, for now.

[ndw542]

I figured when I saw the thread title that this would turn at least to some degree into a discussion about ME3's ending. Personally, I didnt find DAI's ending to be too bad, but I think the ending to every BioWare game for some time will receive more scrutiny/nerdrage than would otherwise be the case due to how badly ME3's was botched. Maybe I'm wrong, but if ME3 had gone differently, I'm guessing there'd be a lot fewer of these threads.

[Chardonney]

I'm a bit lost right now..

Meet up with Corypheus

"Oh god.. did he just destroy Skyhold or what did he just transform to a floating island?"

 

That was, well, all that was left of the Temple Of The Sacret Ashes, not Skyhold. It's even said in the war room conversation just before the so called ending battle.   

[Loghain Mac-Tir]

I thought the DA:O ending was incredibly unsatisfying. You don't really do anything but desperately fight to keep the status quo and get played like a fiddle by Flemeth. 

 

I must have missed something, but how exactly do you get played by Flemeth?  Do you mean the OGB ? because that's optional... 

 

And what was wrong with the Status quo in Fereldan? sure things may suck for city elves (you can change that, actually) but overall it was a fine and dandy place to live, at least compared to the rest of the Thedas. 

 

Better than the failure of an ending that was DA 2, and 'damn, the game is over already!' in DA:I . 

[Han Shot First]

I will say that the Dread Wolf twist and the post-credits scene was legitimately awesome.

 

But the final fight with Corypheus himself was a little underwhelming. Not just the gameplay either, but also from a story perspective. The attack on Haven, and the battle at the Temple of Mythal both seemed like more dramatic events than the final showdown with the big bad.

[Teddie Sage]

Just like the discovery that Flemeth was behind everything ruined DA:O?

I seriously don't understand this reasoning. So Cory was only the big bad evil cause Solas allowed him to be.. so what? He was still trying to kill everyone.

He really wasn't an efficient villain to say the least.

[Loghain Mac-Tir]

He really wasn't an efficient villain to say the least.

 

Corypheus was really pathetic, none of his plans ever worked, his only success Haven, was actually the worst failure, not only did the Inquisition survive, but it actually got legitimacy, for having the biggest evil as it's enemy. Corypheus was more of a failure as a villain than Hawke was. as a hero.and that's saying something. And in the end, when he went all ''Dumat, Dumat'', I actually felt sorry for him.

Also Haven is more of a Pyrrhic victory for Corypheus than a great triumph. He wins the battle and destroys Haven, but loses much of his army in the process. After that the remnants don't appear to be enough for Corypheus to attack Skyhold, as he spends the rest of the game on the defensive and mostly just responding to (and failing to counter) Inquisition attacks. After Haven the initiative seems to shift entirely to the Inquisition.

Correct, i had used Flemeth and Morrigan while they have never reach their purpose, The Waden is simply a  God who can do whatever s/he wish in DAO even make a lot of harm to flemeth.

LOL yeah.

 

Though I like to think that's the point, for better or worse (for our experience as the players/customers).

DA:I had neither a good destination nor a good journey.

[Shahadem]

Well I've never played ME so I don't know what this is supposed to mean... I have heard that the ending is incredibly bad, so there was dlc to rectify it, but yeah... You lost me. 

 

The DLC didn't rectify or in any way actually change the ending in the way that mattered. It just increased the length of the last mission by providing more dialogue and a few more cutscenes. But the fundamental problems with the story remained completely unchanged. A deus ex machina which completely disrespected the fans, disrespected the prior 2 games was something that could not be fixed and was not fixed by the DLC.

 

After going through ME1 and thinking that the Reapers were this uncomprehensibly evil force, in ME3 they are reduced to a hypocritical story expressed by this meme.
