Dragon Age 3: 5 Outrageous Rumours That Won’t Happen
2. Unique Endings
BiowareAround three months ago BioWare were able to generate a huge amount of hype for Dragon Age: Inquisition by teasing that the title would boast some 40 unique endings. They hastened to add that this plethora of possible endings would be meaningfully different and not just separated by some trivial variations. To put this into context, Heavy Rain one of the finest narrative experiences in video gaming has a paltry 17 endings. This outlandish claim was certainly successful in drumming up a great deal of excitement online, especially when compared with the slightly lacklustre narrative of Dragon Age II. However, since claiming that Inquisition would have these many different endings, promising a game which had a ridiculous amount of replayability, BioWare seem to be trying to lessen expectations. The series executive producer Mark Darrah took to Twitter to try to clarify things: Though the rumours about the games 40 endings seems to have been proven to be inaccurate, even if Inquisition offers half this number of varied outcomes we will be happy. As far as endings are concerned it is all about quality over quantity. If Mass Effect 3 taught us one thing its that a game is only as good as its ending BioWares solution to this issue shouldnt be to go for volume and hope that one is acceptable.Ending clarification: Most endings are major variations based upon your choices in the game. There are only a few completely unique endings
