Has anyone been able to confirm if there are multiple endings or is it just the one?
After playing it for a while I am starting to like it but what's the story exactly? By this point in Origins I had ventured into the fade, found out by friend was a blood mage, joined the grey wardens, fought the dark spawn at Ostagar, got betrayed and ran for myself. I'd already set myself on a big, dangerous adventure with heaps to do ahead of me.
In this I ran away from the dark spawn, became a slave for a year, and am scrounging for coin while bickering over who owns our old family house and have no idea where it's heading apart from "the champion" maybe does something at some point. What am I really doing here? The games fun but the story has started really weak.

The storyline is just really your rise to the top in the city. The story aspect is really weak. At first I thought I was going to fight the lady that turned into a dragon at the end of the game. Then I thought the storyline was going to lead to a big battle against invading Qunari to finish the game, and then all of a sudden it becomes mages vs templars.

For people thinking of doing the xp glitch, I've heard that the enemy's stats are basically setup to adjust with yours so if you max out your character the enemies will be much harder as well.

Anyone who played Origins knew Flemeth was there to set up DA:3.
Not really all of a sudden either,

Yeah, don't worry about spoiling key story aspects the weekend after the game is released. Don't trouble yourself. The rest of us don't give a shit, really we don't.
ANyone know what the deal here is? 2 quests in Act 3 so far seemed bugged an unable to be completed:
Theres was one or two in Act 2 that I couldnt finish either. This is irritating.
First one is "Who needs rescuing" where youre supposed to search the Wounded Coast for a girl kidnapped by bandits. I scoured the coast, nothing. I did find an NPC named "Bandit Leader" but he wont do anything. He just stands there and I cant inteact with him at all. Google searching shows a lot of people with this issue.
The second is "Reining it in" where I need to goto an alley and lure the leader jess out from hiding. Im in the alley, Jess comes out and I kill her. The quest arrow changes to her dead body so I examine it and the arrow disappears. I leave the area and theres still an arrow on the main map pointing me to the alley, still thinking I have to kill her. The quest just doesnt complete and stays in my journal, telling me to go get Jess even though Jess is dead

Fixed it. Didn't know people were that concerned about it, since I just gave the overlaying plot.
Graphics look decent on DX11.
I dig the narrative. I never realized how I'm sick of saving the world. Writing is ok, it's engaging.
What I hate is lack of options in dialogue. There's no neutral option and no, sarcastic prick is not a neutral options. Also numbers on keyboard work while choosing a line.
So far it's pretty decent game. I like it better than Origins, but Origins felt more addicting and special. I think Origins is a better game and this game I will treat as a spin-off.
Now I need to figure out how to unlock all this shit I've earned.

Man, meeting
Some great quotes from there:
I wasn't sure if I'd imported my Witch Hunt save where my Grey Warden stepped through the Eluvian, or if I imported the other. I'm not sure which I'd even consider 'canon', but apparently I've imported the latter. Fine by me.
Unless Witch Hunt doesn't import.
Alistair in Act 3 was fantastic. He was just as I remembered him.
Some great quotes from there:
Or his exchange with Anders:
Anders: "Weren't you a Grey Warden?"
Alistair: "That's the rumor. Weren't you..?"
Anders: "That's the rumor."
Bann Teagan: "We won't let the Orlesians swoop down on us."
Alistair: "We won't. Swooping is bad."
BT: "The Hero of Ferelden will have arrived in Denerim by now, Your Majesty."
A: "Why do you people keep calling him that? He has a name, you know!"
Anders: "Weren't you a Grey Warden?"
Alistair: "That's the rumor. Weren't you..?"
Anders: "That's the rumor."
Bann Teagan: "We won't let the Orlesians swoop down on us."

I came upon a dragon in a cave on the wounded coast he was guarding piles of gold. I think to myself oh man I'm gonna get some cool stuff but alas the Dragon dropped 12 silver and his treasure pile contained yet more junk and some more silver.
I cheated in a bunch of gold and bought the Cold-Blooded staff from the vendor on the Coast and I'll pretend that's my reward.
This was a problem in Origins as well. Why is all the awesome equipment bought in shops? Why is there zero reward for exploring? Why even bother opening locked chests when all that's ever inside is garbage that I don't need.
Unlocking a complex chest only to find torn trousers is lame as hell.

Ill give that a shot. I thought killing everyone is what initiates the quest....at least thats how the others worked.
And whats with the Merril companion quest in Act 3:
I go through this Sundermount trek with her hoping she will finally see that what shes doing is wrong. We get up there and keeper Marethari has to be killed. Doing that forces me into wiping out Merrils entire clan. Ok, done.
Completing this unlocks "Questioning Beliefs" for Merril. I walk into her home here and the first thing she says is "What are you doing here, did Keeper Marethari put you up to this?". Keeper Marethari is dead, Merril. You killed her 5 minutes ago.
Then she begins rambling about the mirror again and saving her clan as if she learned absolutely nothing about what just happened. She doesnt even acknowledge the fact that what she just did was wrong and her entire clan is dead because of it. It almost feels like "Questioning Beliefs" was supposed to come before the death of Marethari.
And then she gets pissy with me, says she never wants to talk to me again, and kicks me out of her house. I turn around and walk back in and try talking to her. She yells at me, right? Nope.
"Ive been here 9 years and I still cant fix the holes in this roof!!"
Ok, Merril.

Merrill's act 3 quests/conversations are bugged to hell.
Is anyone else part way through the game and just not feeling it?
It feels like as if KOTOR got more responsive feeling combat but with a piss-poor story.
At least the character interactions are getting slightly better, the overreaching story is getting less noticeable.
Also I did Hard through all of act 1, so I turned it to casual for trash mobs and I'll bump it to hard for boss fights. Bleh.

The ending itself is bugged in terms of the romance aspects.Basileus777 said:
Whoever you have sex with first is the one mentioned in the ending. So since I slept with Isabella first and then romanced Merrill for the rest of the game yet there was no single mention of her in the ending.
