All of my endings have been sort of anticlimatic. Mostly because I get what I set out for and I STILL get the danged buggy epilogues that are like the opposite of what happened and it's a mood kill (yeah, yeah, I know, I should be used to it, right?). No matter what happens, Anora is always pissed I'm still hanging around Denerim. Go figure.



That being said though, the ending that probably got the most emotional reaction out of me was when my female mage put hardened Al on the throne and then got the literal royal dumping treatment. So after my real self got over her nerd rage from being dumped by a video game love, and I realized I didn't really want to kill him or my character off by doing the ultimate sacrifice, I went back to an earlier save. Managed to talk him into keeping the poor mage on the side and felt quite triumphant. And then my friend and my sister laughed themselves to tears over my sillyness.

My Elf Mage, deeply in love with Zevran, convinced Alistair - whom initially he found quite annoying but that slowly but steadily had become something like a brother to him - to sleep with Morrigan to father a child and preserve their lives. After defeating the Archdemon, Alistair rules Ferelden alone and is deeply loved by his people while the Warden - with his Zevran - goes to Amaranthine to rubuild the order...



... Awakening!

Oh I dunno. I am torn between Ultimate Sacrifice and Redeemer.



I really liked both endings, they really have a great emotional impact. It's always totally awesome when the Warden or Loghain let out a roar and jab the sword into the Archdemon's head knowing they are about to die. That exact moment always gets me for some reason, even if you find the roar cheesy.



My first play through I actually did the Dark Ritual to get a "happy" ending as Alistair's consort. It was okay, but I found that I really liked the "life sacrifice" endings much better.

[Gilsa]

I honestly don't like any of the endings because it's damned if you do, damned if you don't. Having said that, my canon ending is redeemer. Recruited Logain because the Blight was more important than grudges and I needed all the Grey Wardens I could get, but since I lost Alistair in the process, I was back to exactly two Grey Wardens again (apart from Riordan). I only let Loghain die because it's what he deserved and what Alistair originally wanted. To let my character die and keep Loghain alive after all that would have been the bigger dick move to Alistair, Wynne, and others.

My second choice would probably be the ultimate sacrifice ending because I just don't want a good guy like Alistair to take a bullet for me. I have no problem starting over again as an Orlesian Warden.

My first ending my warden had Alistair give Morrigan a child for the ritual. My warden and Morrigan were on very good terms, so, after coercing some reassurance from Morrigan that the child wasn't going to be harmed, went ahead with it.



My warden attempted to declare herself queen, which failed because she was an elf (mage). Then she attempted to have Alistair marry Anora and stick around as a consort... but Alistair was unhardened so he wasn't keen on the consort notion and ended the relationship. Loghain had my warden's blessing to be spared but Alistair was having none of it and killed him on the spot.



So last option, warden went off to rebuild the order. Zev came along. Sten was dead in Lothering. Oghren became a wandering drunk or something. Wynne stayed as an advisor to Alstair. Lelianna went with the church to try reclaiming the urn (and failed because the dragon was still there).



The entire thing was rather bittersweet. Losing everyone but Zev felt like sand slipping through one's fingers.

Favourite is hardenend Alistair marries Anora, Loghain recruited and makes the ultimate sacrifice and the Warden goes off to run the Wardens with his lover, Zevran. (I'm female but I prefer playing male characters, on the whole).

I know Loghain has his haters but I love the guy so I always recruit him. I finally tried the Ultimate Sacrifice ending tonight with my female arcane warrior which gave me a bit of a lump in the throat, I'll admit. My Warden had been Alistair's lover but married him off to Anora for the good of Fereldan and then took the final blow herself. It did make me a bit sad to read the bit about Loghain going off to the Deep Roads on his own a few years later once the taint had got to him - I think it works out a lot better for him if you let him kill the Arch Demon and have his redemption.

I've not had an Alistair dies ending yet (I only killed Loghain in my first game and it made me feel so awful I didn't do it again) but my new HN character is going to attempt to marry Anora so we'll see how that goes.

In one playthrough I hardened Alistair and made him King on his own. I was curious at the end, so I let him sacrificed himself and he died. I was sad, he was a good pal. But the ending is total crap.

You're talking to everyone afterwards and the declare YOU the Hero of Ferelden and say you were the first person to defeat the Blight since Garahel, when it was Alistair. Even Wynne was like "Yes poor boy. But everyone wants a living hero, so go out and celebrate Hero of Ferelden." And in the epilogue, they dont talk about transporting his body to Weisshaupt or anything. It was very unsatisfying and sad.

Hardened Alistair and Anora marry.
Spare Loghain.
Romance Morrigan and perform the dark ritual with her.
Basically it ends with Loghain rebuilding the grey wardens, Alistair and Anora ruling the country together, and my human noble running off to find Morrigan. I never make the happiest endings my personal canon ending.

This is my ending as well. I thought it was a great way to finish the game.

I really liked having Loghain along. I had a hard time killing him after reading The Stolen Throne.

[redloz]

Human noble female who became Queen, with Zevran on the side.



The most rewarding though was probably as a Dwarf noble - she brought Anora and Alistair together in holy royal matrimony, allowed Loghain to live and repent his cruel ways, found brief but inspiring love with Leliana and eventually gave her life as a proud Aeducan warrior by ending Ferelden's Blight. It was very moving.

[Stuffy38]

Any ending where I get together with Leliana works for me.

[blademaster7]

Best for me:
1) Ultimate Sacrifice. Yes it's sad I know, but if you're looking to play this game one last time before putting it away then this is the end to look for.

2) Redeemer. Alistair Marries Anora and Loghain gets the killing blow. Warden stays with Leliana. I consider this to be the most "convenient". ending My only issue is that you need to be metagaming for this, but still a nice ending.

On my first playthrough (well, I'm still on my first kind of, I'm starting over again and again because I want it to be perfect, I'm funny that way) ... anyway, on my first playthrough, I immediately turned into the Alistair fan girl I am. Took him with me everywhere, listened to his advice (killing Loghain wouldn't be my first choice if Alistair wouldn't insist on doing so) and people keep telling me that I'm the Warden, the totally awesome heroine, savior of them all. I always felt like shouting 'Are you blind? There's TWO of us, the other Warden who risks his royal ass for the madness of saving this country is standing right NEXT TO ME! Would you PLEASE stop ignoring him!'.

I'll never be able to do the Ali sacrifice ending besides loading a save to see the goodbye kiss but honestly it's no surprise that they still make a fuss about you instead of the man who died for them. One of the endings I like the least (but I guess it makes sense for someone who doesn't like Al and leaves him at camp).

So I don't have a favorite ending but I have a strong dislike for some endings. I don't like marrying Alistair to Anora but I do like the wandering drunk ending. I like Alistair to be king or Anora to be queen on their own. The HNF queen ending naturally appeals to me at the moment because I'm writing my own follow up story for this.

[Barbarossa2010]

Best end? For me as a HMN romancing Leliana, is the sacrificial end. BAR NONE. Three play throughs and very disappointed with each end, I finally figured I had to off my Warden (my favorite PC btw) to have the Epic ending I was looking for. It finally felt right.



The one downside was that Leliana took matters into her own hands, (it did make me feel a bit like a s#!+head), but not before she would compose and perform a ballad about her love that would come to be known throughout all of Thedas. The look on her face at my Warden's eulogy summed up the entire game for me: tradegy and triumph/love and loss. Finally a proper end.

[maxernst]

I'm just approaching the ending now, but I've thought a lot about how I want things to go. I think the hardened Alistair marries Anora and Loghain is sacrificed to the demon is probably the best ending for Ferelden. Alistair marrying Anora is a very logical marriage of convenience, and the redeemed Loghain story line works and allows the PC to rebuild the Grey Wardens. But as a PC romancing Alistair, it's a bitter cup to drink.



For the PC romancing Alistair, the happiest ending is Loghain dead, Anora ruling alone, do the dark ritual and PC & Alistair end up together. I am probably going to do this, despite my reservations about the dark ritual. My PC feels he's earned it; if Morrigan's child threatens the world twenty years down the road, it will be some other hero's place to save it. I hesitated for a long time on the screen making my choice for ruler of Ferelden, staring at the option of Alistair and Anora marrying. I knew I could persuade him to do it with master coercion, but I had told him before that while I thought it was a good idea, I wouldn't push him into it. So I didn't, and he seemed happy enough to renounce his claim to the throne.



I'll probably play through the end game without the dark ritual as well, and choose the Alistair sacrifice ending, to see how it plays out. My PC is probably better equipped to rebuild the Ferelden Wardens than Alistair, so I'll regretfully let him go. If I had made Alistair king, I'd take the bullet myself.

[Maria13]

Freeing Alistair. He has known nothing but obligation and stife imposed on him by others. So my preferred ending is to give him some loving, not harden and run away together, perhaps to Orlais to eat cake, once the archdemon is downed. The only bump (!) on that road is the impregnation of Morrigan but we'll deal with that another day...

[Cakazatel]

Favorite ending so far? I haven't played a noble yet, so it would have to be my grumpy dwarf commoner named A'Doush Bag. He romanced Morrigan, dumped her for Leliana, then took Wynne and Leliana (still in a relationship) on the Ashes quest, defiled the ashes and killed them both.  He didn't save dog, killed all the elves, treated Alistair like dirt, killed Zevran, sided with Bhelen and Branka, and refused Morrigan's offer.  He was going to spare Loghain but made a mistake in the dialogue options.  Alistair came with for the final fight in nothing but a loincloth and was given the 'honor' of taking the killing blow.
He ended up with only two companions at the end, got made a paragon, and still got the "Ultimate Sacrifice" trophy.
Go figure.

Well, my favorite ending isn't actually the one I play most often because it's kind of devastating. It's executing Loghain, hardening Alistair so he has the confidence to be king by himself, and not making myself queen or mistress. It keeps the bloodline going and has the possibility of a legitimate heir. It keeps the throne away from a Mac Tir. It changes Alistair's character to make him stronger and more confident, but no less honorable. It has the dubious choice of the dark ritual, but it seems worth it to keep the Calenhad line on the throne.



That being said, I often make myself queen when I can. Most of my characters aren't that unselfish when it comes to love. Wynne is absolutely correct about that.

[guytza]

My current ending is definately my favorite.

Dalish Elf warrior.
Alistair didnt get hardened, when asked if he wanted to be king he said no, I let him have his wish. (My Elf and Alistair didnt get along for some time but he started to grow on me, just not enough to get the personal quest). So Anora is on the throne, and she already has agreed to grant me any boon I asked.

My Shem distrusting nature kicked in for Morrigan's deal and instead of dying for the people that did the elves wrong, and released the darkspawn, and screwed over the best chance of stopping the Archdemon itself. I took her deal.

So end result,
Morrigan got her baby (duh duh DAH!)
Alistair lived, got his revenge on Loghain, and went on to happily run with the Grey Wardens.
The Dalish Elves were given the Kokari wilds and Ostagar as their new homeland, without Zathrian to go all revenge crazy it seems to be working out well.
The hero of Ferelden, knowing that questions are going to abound regarding my miraculous survival, leaves to go travel with my faithful Mabari Duke, good buddy Zevran, and against-the-odds-love Leliana.
Bhelen runs the dwarves and with the help of Branka, the golems, and the new chantry free circle of magi starts to push the darkspawn back at an unprecedented rate. The chantry is considering an exalted march, but considering the forces in Orzammar...I'd like to see them try.
The city elves have a better life with Shianni at the helm, apparantly they had a bit of a riot scenario. But given that the elves have a new homeland to go to, I don't feel bad for those that got screwed by staying at the horrid alienage. Those that give up freedom for security deserve neither after all.

Oghren seems to be happy on the surface and is heading to go see Felsi.
Sten is bringing the story of the Kadan to the Qun, his soul-sword in hand and his mission accomplished.
Shale is heading to the Imperium libraries to regain her squishiness.
Isolde is dead, Teagan is happily married, Eamon has a new mage-daughter to dote on.

All in all, not a bad legacy to leave behind for a violence happy, shem hating, take no crap, chantry bashing, darkspawn tainted, Anti-hero.

Male Human Warrior: Kicked the %^! out of Loghain, married Al to Queen Annoying, romanced Morrigan, did the ritual, stayed in Denerim for a while and helped Al out and then traveled around looking for Morrigan....... sigh. I really liked the line when asked what Morrigan did to save Al and my character and his answer was 'Morrigan saved us'. So sad.



The big surprise for me was finding out Zev had the hots for me the whole game! During the ritual lthing Morrigan makes note of our 'romance'. hahah

[ejoslin]

It was a devastating playthrough, but I actually liked this ending the most (probably because I will never see it again -- it's awful):

Unhardened Alistair as king (was unable to do his personal quest), with my city elf whom he hated acting as his chancellor, and being the true ruler
Redcliff becoming a ghost town, leaving Arl Eamon with far less power along with,
Isolde dying in childbirth, her and Eamon's daughter becoming a mage and being turned over the the circle
Good stuff for Sten, Oghren, and Shale
Both Wynne and Leliana were dead as they ganged up and tried to kill Alistair and my warden (though Alistair may have wished he could have joined them at that point)
Alistair did the ritual with Morrigan
Zevran and my warden of course rebuilt the grey wardens together, but that's standard for me.

Favorite ending so far: Female Dwarf Nobe, unhardened Alistair, kill Loghain, let Anora stay queen, had Alistair do the ritual with Morrigan, and then ride off into the sunset with him and my faithful mabari Hannibal after the battle.



Just about to finish a HNF playthrough and becoming queen, so won't comment on that one yet...

[Archereon]

I became the Archmage and stayed with Leliana...



**** yes!



Becoming the Dwarf king is awesome as well...(Put Harrowmont on throne, give boon to the dwarves, you become a Paragon, Harrow declares you his heir...)

[Nerdage]

My favourite was doing the ultimate sacrifice, but I wanted to keep this character for later games (if that's how they turn out) so I re-loaded to before the archdemon and got alistair to do it, but I act sad about it of course. Decided to rebuild the order with Leliana, I told Zevran he could help but he didn't get a mention in the epilogue for some reason.

Edit.
I'm doing another playthrough now, just for the ending. Female mage, romancing Alistair, planning to kill myself at the end.

I pretty much had the same mindset as you do.

On my first playthrough, I took Morrigans ritual...and it didnt feel right. Second playthrough, I sacrificed Loghain...which still didnt feel right.

Then I sacrificed myself on my third as a human male noble and it was the best ending. I had a lump in my throat, especially after I read about how Leliana took matters into her own hands and would soon join me.

But it IS the best ending in the game. It was a story of tragedy, love, and glory. I had high approval with my favorite party members. Such as Alistair, Stenn, Morrigan, Wynne, and Leliana. I didnt care to much for Zevran or Shale or Oghren. So reading there eulogys was cool, especially Stens where he said he bowed once before my remains, and told the Qunari there was one worthy person outside of his homeland.

A very sad ending, but very very satisfying. I wont be re-doing that playthrough.

[guytza]

hmmm....I think I may have to replay my ending and ultimate sacrifice it just to see how much everyone misses me.
