It’s bad when you get more entertainment from watching them die and lose them you do seeing them win

seeing them win is actually the evil ending for DA fans, this however puts a smile on my face and i would have done the same if i hadnt lost interest in the game after couple hours

What's even funnier is that you're playing a dwarf, and purposely over encouraging elves to get sent to their deaths.

[@shadowprotector99]

Best ending

[@InvokeZero]

The most surprising thing to see was that they actually put an encounter into the game where Tash dies.

[@johnkubiak1154]

I feel bad for Emerich. He's mistreated by everyone in game. Taash goes on a big rant if you tell her to call him by his name instead of mocking him for being a necromancy. Pretty awkward to see the "Respect my pronouns" character being a massive bigot. And the game never addresses this because Taash is a perfect little angel who can do no wrong.

[@Sekir80]

After a lot of thought I finally figured out Taash, her character and her treatment of others. She is the symbol of bigotry, she represents the "normal" people of our world, she's like the mirror for the player to figure out how the non-binary feel around "normal" people in our world. I think it was a bad choice, though.

[@ZPu95]

Taash was unprepared for the fact that your gender is completely determined at birth by your DNA and genitals.

[@MagiaMiggy]

It baffles me that these developers had the gall to implement a suicide mission on this game. This games tone is so all over the place that definitely doesnt deserve this sort of pay off. Not to mention after playing this game for almost 60 hours, all of these deaths are absurdly goofy considering how we fight hordes of Venatori, Darkspawn and Qunari in normal gameplay and yet every single companion can just get brain fart and die with a single blow of a hammer from a random grunt. We killed an Archdemon and two blighted Dragons but the Big Green spooky skeleton and a lady with a staff was the real dangerous encounter we need to prepare for.

[@guilleperez7493]

Bru by the same logic it would have no sense Doomguy can be trapped by some dumb robot after killed hundred of demons. Videogame logic

[@kkkk-uh1cu]

Arguably, if you only need to make one mistake to die, it is very realistic to win 99 such fights, and lose your life in the last. As is dying to random "acts of god" such as an earthquake or falling building. However, the writing really doesn't convince you of that. If you actually send them up against a powerful foe and have them all make different and believeable mistakes, now that would be interesting.

[@MalfosRanger]

Imagine being a veteran officer marching out to put down a rebellion and you die from dysentery. Or you survive the most bloody global conflict at the time only to die in a low speed collision. Being badass is not a hard counter to mortality.

[@crypterion_moon]

Don't care, watching them die was therapeutic. All sense was thrown out when they decided to launch this game so now we're just enjoying the show

The saddest part about all this is that this final segment was the only thing in the entire game that remotely looked like good old BW. That little soul that used to exist, only lightly shining here while being covered with garbage all around it. Which is far more annoying as it shows that this game might've had a chance at being good if we didn't live in the time period of circus where clowns run rampant, throwing their pies at everyone on street, and everyone pretending that this behavior should be accepted outside of said circus.
