When I read the topic title I thought it was going to be about that atrocious 30 Seconds To Mars song during the credits.
So I beat Dragon Age: Ori- Wait what? Oh fuck you EA!

Do you expect there to be after game content in every RPG you play? If not then I dont think you have a leg to stand on, most games end when the final bit of the main story line is done. Very few play out afterwards.
If you do then why arent we hearing screw obsidian for fallout, Sqaure enix for Final fantasy, etc?

Precisely. If you saved properly throughout the game you could have finished the sidequests before you finished the game.Solo-Wing said:
Even then, you should know to always finish side quests before you finish the main quest. Unless it's a Bethesda game.
It's a classic RPG that ends when you finish the main quest. Don't tell me this is the first RPG of this type you played?
I still think you have no one to blame but yourself. Common sense dictates that you save the game before going into important story parts or battles. This has been true for nearly 30 years, way back when Final fantasy was the "best rpg made" perhaps even before that. I have no idea why anyone would suddenly think the 2nd rule of RPGs doesnt apply anymoreSolo-Wing said:
Granted, I stopped playing the FF series after 10...but every FF I've ever played cuts to the credits and the title screen upon completion. Every RPG, for that matter (with the exception of Bethesda games and Mass Effect 2) is done once you've beaten the main story line. But to be fair, Bethesda games are sandbox-RPGs, and thus specifically built for piddling around after the end of the main story.Solo-Wing said:
As far as I could tell the post-game is purely there as a hub for the DLC. It sucks, really don't make sense to put you back before the finale, only to cockblock you from the game's content and only let you play the DLC.
Scheme? When the story ends, it ends. I see no scheme.Yureina said:Welcome to EA/Bioware games. Isn't it fun?
Aside from ME2, which I liked too much, i've never fell for this little scheme of theirs. But never again I say. They are dead to me now.
It is rather crazy to expect end-game content. But I do agree it's pretty shitty with both DA:O and DA2 that they plop you back at camp ad don't let you do anything. It sucks that they tease you with the idea of end-game content and pull it away from you as you reach for it, laughing like a bully holding your books above your head just out of your reach. It shouldn't be expected, but the way they go about it sucks.
Listen, I know that EA is basically the physical incarnation of evil, but they are probably not to blame for linear storytelling being linear.
Pretty sure a game ending isn't a bizarre ploy to get you to buy DLC.
The game ending at the conclusion of the game gives closure and makes sense to me.
I was really happy with how it ended - my reaction on finishing it was to start another game and try to finish on nightmare and see more of what I missed.

What HAVE you been playing? Up until the playstation era (and even quite a bit beyond that in many cases), most games gave you 3 save slots, and in a surprising number of cases, would not even ask you which you wanted to use.Windcaler said:
The most you got was, 'do you want to save? Yes/no'... If you chose yes it would save over the top of whatever slot you were using.
Slightly more forgiving series would let you choose which slot every time you saved, but still, with just 3 save slots that doesn't really help all that much...
I also have never really come across a game the pulls the stunt the OP is complaining about... If you try and resume a game from a save when you've 'completed' the game, You don't usually end up in a situation where you literally can't do anything.
Best if you don't anyway. I bought the fortress DLC pack and got the Shale one with the game and they aren't longer than 15 minutes. Been extremely sceptic to DLC ever since. Only game I've played with DLC I thought was worth it so far was Borderlands Secret Armory and Island of Dr. Ned.Solo-Wing said:
