E3 2014: Dragon Age: Inquisition Offers 40 "Major Endings"

More like 40 interchangeable ending slides. I said the same thing for Mass Effect 3 extended cut and I was right too. Still, I won't give up on Bioware yet. It's the journey before the end that matters.

Well maybe kinda waiting for review and testimony from other people when the game out. All i got now is hope it will be a good game. Cheers!!!

As much as I'd love to see Alistair again, I won't be enabling Bioware anymore. Buyer beware...

Am I the only one distracted by the chicks behind Shaun? Man...

>Over 40 endings

>Short game

>Nope

Thats a lot of different colours this time around...

Pretending to be Skyrim, you forget how to be Dragon Age

Mass Effect wasn't a bad game. With the first and second one being so great, everyone expected an amazing ending, which is almost impossible to live up to. Sure, the end bothered me too ,and I always think of the ending as the Indoctrination theory on youtube.

My point is that a game is not all about it's ending.

It looks like people still haven't gotten over the mess made by dragon age 2 and mass effect 3 it's sad really opinions though the sad thing is that they are so mad about the past that they aren't willing to give this one a chance and that's the sad part especially if it proves you wrong . By that's life. I for one am excited for this !!!!!

I'd actually prefer just one spectacular ending than 40 mediocre ones. No there's going to be all of that canon ending nonsense. Bioware is most likely gun shy about creating a single definitive ending, and went with the shotgun approach. The ending will be the result of player consequence. If you don't like the ending you get, then it will be your own damn fault for playing the way you did.

I thought they were onto to something with the multiple beginnings to DAO, and would rather see a reappearance of that. Imagine 40 origin stories all funneling to the same epic climax.

This game looks amazing who cares if it has 40 plus endings or not, its still gonna be an amazing ride!

"Don't believe his lies" is a perfect quote that's appropriate here, especially after Mass Effect 3 ending. I do wonder..how many colors of that ending will we have?

Kidding aside, 40 variations of your decisions that will decide your ending (I reckon) not 40 full endings is what they are trying to say.

No one cares because Bioware is long gone. It's all lip service now. Do your readers a favor and quit hyping this pile of garbage.

It's not like people have the time to finish the game 40 times. A few endings is cool, but 40 seems overkill.

"40 endings with variations"

No offense they were making big claims about ME3 as well only to give us COLORS.

We will have explosions in 40 different colors now?

Achievement unlocked: Watched all 40 endings. O.O;;;

Bioware couldn't even get 3 endings right and im supposed to trust them with 40? LOL

They better not make Leliana cheat on the Warden commander.. Morrigan too I guess...

I wonder what would happen to my import.. My warden managed to romance both Leliana and Morrigan till the end(No mods were used). Both of them profess their loves to the Warden till the end, Morrigan more so in the Witch hunt.. Will either one make it through to Inquisition or both of them will make it through.. Yes, I'm still hung up on Origin's Warden.. DA:O/A was one of the best experience in rpg history..

It would be interesting for a prince to make an appearance.. A child between Alistair and Anora/Warden or Warden and Anora.. It has been 10 years..

40 seems a bit much...

40 MAJOR LIES. Who are you fooling, Bioware?

Also don't forget that it eventually came out the the A B C ending of ME3 was solely the work and thought of Casey Hudson, Director of the whole thing. Not joking, people that worked on the game came out and said so. So unless Mr. Hudson is working on this too, I wouldn't worry too much.

My concern is that, while multiple endings are fine in and of themselves, as long as Bioware doesn't skimp on the rest of the game and makes sure everything is polished. Good story, well designed combat, and well written characters are more important than gimmicks or a plethora of endings. Just my 2 cents worth.

Hell... Hans Christian Andersen has nothing on Bioware for telling fairy tales.

LOL yeah whatever Bioware ...like the sixteen different endings in Mass effect 3,

I'd be happy with one ending as long as it wasn't one that didn't make all my choices and 'hard work' in the game completely inconsequential.

3~6 sensible endings are more than enough. We've heard similar thing about ME3. We got only three controversial endings at the end with not enough closure and explanation.

Gaidert said months ago that romances would not be dlc only.A fan who wanted Bioware to stop doing romances requested that romances be dlc only and Gaider said no. That was on the BSN.

shrugs.

Romances aren't mandatory .People who don't like them don't have to do them.And since they will be a lot harder to trigger, virtually impossible to accidently trigger they should be easy to avoid.

What 40 endings mean is there will be a lot of points where a decision could mean you don't get the best ending.

Ok, I threw in my joke response earlier, now the real one.

It doesn't matter how many endings there are. Mass Effect had one ending, and it was fantastic. Dragon Age Origins had one ending with several variances... Mass Effect 2 didn't really have multiple endings so much as a dynamic and variable climax...

One ending is fine; just make it make sense in the context of the story told. Don't spend 90 hours building to a Mass Effect conclusion and give us Deus Ex when it runs completely contrary to the story form and themes you've given us for three games!

The best story game I've ever played is Walking Dead; there was one ending, and was build heavily on illusionary choice, but it was a fantastic experience the whole way. ME3 threw everything away and went with an ending utterly inappropriate to the story. That's the point.

40 endings or 400, if maintaining some level of coherence and theme isn't a priority, it will not matter.

From what I've seen, it seems obvious that the miscalculations of the past are behind them.
