I don't care if there's 1 ending or 1000 endings, if none of them are good then it won't matter.

 

[adj_noun]

That's a lot of colour's.

.

Also should noted that Mark Darrah said that "And the game doesn't end at the end."

.

 

[Patryn]

Bioware SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Did you not learn? Don't give a number of endings. Say something vague like "The end of your story will fit the path you traveled" or whatever. What does saying this gain you?

This is going to bite you in the end.

Seriously, you're fucking idiots.

And I say this as someone who has DA:I as their most anticipated title of the year.

 

[Squalor]

This is fucking stupid.

 

[Tucah]

yeah, okay.

 

[Durante]

Bravo.

 

[Ushojax]

lol they learned nothing from ME3

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Do not believe their lies.

 

[chrominance]

In before "take the number of characters, multiply by number of unique endings for each character, = 40 ENDINGS." Actually, even that might be too generous. I totally forgot about #colourgate.

Honestly, I don't care that much, beyond a handful of endings I can't imagine why I'd care if DA:I has 30 or 60 or 204 endings. There's no way their cohesive story could be open to so many vastly different endings, and it's probably better to concentrate on a couple of strong endings rather than up your numbers for marketing purposes.

Fucking thank you.

 

[Red Mage]

Heh, I remember being blown away by the claim that Star Ocean 2 had 80+ Endings. I know how these things work, Bioware.

 

[Alucrid]

Will we get more endings via DLC?

 

[Linkyn]

Come on, guys, the colour jokes are so played out by now. We get it, you didn't like ME3's endings.

That said, 40 seems a little high. Also, pointing it out like this is just bound to come back and bite them in the ass eventually when it turns out that these are probably more akin to the Heavy Rain endings, such that what happens to each character is an ending and you get some combination of outcomes based on your decisions.

 

[Jigorath]

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Jarmel]

All the more variations of cupcakes to send you.

 

[inky]

I said it already, but I guess they never tire of setting themselves and their audience up for disappointment.

Endings won't deliver Bioware, just STFU. The game is looking OK, no need to put yourselves against another wall this time. Believe it or not, people would be fine with 1 or 2 or maybe 3 well done variations.

 

[Hasney]

Are they counting minor variations for sex/class? There's a line in the ending that goes "No-one expects the inquisition, especially to include a warrior/mage/rogue. He/she rocked the realm". There's 6 variations right there!

[Kinyou]

Such a high number of endings always ends up in some minor differences. Not that I mind all that much but it tends to be just a PR number. Would be happy to be proven otherwise though.

 

[Blackthorn]

 

[Dr. Ecco]

Yyyyyyeeeeeeah, right. Even if it was true (protip: it's not) I'm not interested in DA anymore. Anyway Bioware, I wish you the best of luck. You are going to need it.

 

[Terra_Ex]

So many promises, how many will be broken this time I wonder... Expect the 39 additional endings and variations (and your choices, lol) to be rapidly retconned and swept under the rug come DA4. Would love them to prove me wrong.

 

[spookyfish]

That's a lot of colours. Personally I want the Violet ending.

HA!

 

[witchedwiz]

Obligatory

 

[Flame Lord]

Yay, 40 different slide shows. I don't even pay attention to devs boasting about how many ending they have anymore.

 

[Asd202]

Bioware SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[rakhir]

Dragon Age: Inquisition |OT| All colors of the rainbow

 

[Ridesh]

This is the clarification they made about the endings a while ago:

 

[Currygan]

Lol

 

[Ros8105]

Wow, color jokes huh.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Hope you guys like slideshows

 

[E92 M3]

Chances are I will only play the game once or twice, max...all of these endings with slight deviations are not interesting to me. Basically put, number of endings is not a game seller.

 

[burgerdog]

I roll my eyes whenever a dev says "our game has over XX endings."

 

[Red Mage]

Will we get more endings via DLC?

No, but you'll get a dozen different armor sets for your mage/rogue/warrior. ; )

 

[Kade]

the ending is gonna be the color

 

[Kinyou]

This is the clarification they made about the endings a while ago:

Now that sounds a lot more reasonable

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Normally I play Male Human Mage, but this time I will be Male Qunari Mage.

Also, I can't wait to see how my choice (DA:O Witch Hunt spoilers)

Spoiler

to have my Warden go with Morrigan through the Eluvian

impacts Inquisition.

 

[Minsc]

I would really only consider it a major ending if it resulted in a game-state that cannot be combined along with another ending in a sequel.

If you can write a sequel that presents a prologue that wraps all 40 endings in to the same story, then none of them were in fact, major.

 

[Lautaro]

Well, if the ending is just a slideshow like Origins then is not unachievable...

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Chances are I will only play the game once or twice, max...all of these endings with slight deviations are not interesting to me. Basically put, number of endings is not a game seller.

Honestly this, never cared for the whole XX number of endings. 3 well done endings max would be more than enough for me personally (and that applies to all games). Pass that and I feel like its overkill.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Why they keep hyping this stuff after the ME3 debacle?

You can not fool anyone anymore.

 

[Memorabilia]

Oh fucking please. Fool me once BioWare. I'm buying the game but don't go down this road again.

This. Ridiculous/disingenuous hyperbole like this is a good way to make me cancel a pre-order and buy the damn game when its $20. Knock it the hell off BioWare.

 

[Freeman]

A,B,C is easy.

 

[ElyrionX]

It's probably going to be something like 40 different paragraphs of text.

 

[Zweizer]

I am guessing it's mostly just different variations of a couple of major quests/decisions added together.

 

[misterhektik]

Reminds me of that one MrBTounge video on choice and consequence; especially the Mass Effect bits.

"Replay 90% of the game to see the 10% that's different"

 

[Tony Redgrave]

This is the clarification they made about the endings a while ago:

Should probably add this to the OP.

 

[anexanhume]

He also said your hero in the game can be any combination of two genders, four races, three classes, nine specialisations and also different voices.

No dwarf mages though. Also, there's exactly two voices for each gender last time I read about it.

 

[luca_aros]

...i dont get the colour jokes...
