Worst ending to a game EVER!

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 4:14 am

I don't have time to read 3 pages of forum discussion right now, to be honest. Procrastinating on work, :/

Oh, I KNOW how that is.... I say "I work really well to deadline." Which means.... I procrastinate until I have no CHOICE but to work to deadline.... Good luck!

Well, considering im a high school senior, I guess it doesn't matter too much, as long as I don't completly fail.

A good grade is better than a marginal one. And that's ALL the useless advice I'm handing out tonight. Again, good luck!

Strange response. Maybe you should try mastvrbating. It might relieve some of that...whatever you have built up inside you. Bitterness. Yeah, let's go with that.

That was hilarious.

As to the OP like others have already stated the fun in the elder scrolls is exploring and the dungeon clearing.
It's kinda hard to make such an open world and still have the time left to put in epic quest stories

Least in Oblivion you got a decent looking set of armor.
In Skyrim you get a Dragon. Not much to complain about when you think of it. It was better than Oblivion IMO.

I found a lot of quests seemed to be quite abrupt to be honest, they seem to be building up to something at the final moments and then... nothing, it's over.

It isn't the worst ending ever by a long shot though, I'd have liked to gain something from completing it though, maybe Alduin's bones should be craftable into a special armour or something.

I agree. It's the worst main quest and ending ever.

It's completely lame.
Alduin is only a bit stronger than a normal dragon.
He does'nt do anything beyond ressurect dragons.
He does'nt eat the world and is less threatening than My little Pony.
Literally.
MLP. Oh no! The sun will never rise again! What will we do! Yep, that's something to worry about. And the sun really does'nt rise till it's fixed.

Skyirm. Yeah, I'll ressurect some dragons. Nothing else. Called the World Eater, but I don't eat it.
Yeah, the world will end. How so? Has he nukes, magic nukes? A superweapon? A elder scroll? Oblivion gates? Summon demons? Steampunk clockwork army? Nope, nothing. Just some dragons who are easy to hard to fight. They're no match for the dovahkin or a organised army or guards.
He raises dragons, and eats some dead people. That is it, literally.

There is'nt even cutscenes to show you did it.
No one notices you saved the world.

The ending made me ragequit the game, no joke.

I dunno why they thought repeating a battle setup you've already completed, this time providing you with three Chuck Norris allies/human shields, would provide for a challenge.
I dunno why they thought screaming at a cloud for half an hour would help build tension.
I dunno why it didn't occur to them that, if I'm meeting famous Gods that have been mentioned in Elder Scrolls titles, I'll probably be frustrated if my dialog with those Gods is limited to "hi" and "bye" without giving me any option to ask questions.
I dunno why they thought dragons flying in circles would send the message of "yeah this is the ending."
I dunno why they thought no one would mind if nobody in the world noticed you did jack.

After realizing that that truly WAS the ending (took a minute for it to sink in and for me to prove to myself there was nothing left), yeah I was kinda pissed. That was beyond bad.

When Hitler rose to power, a lot of people just stopped playing. And you know who those people were? The French. Are you French, Longknife?

Well you don't know a lot of things i dare to say... :biggrin:

Perhaps Skyrim "end" isn't an end at all - voluntarily - and it is even understandable in an open game world like this where you can ignore totally even the main quest if you want.

Really,what are you expecting ? fireworks ? every damn pc "prostate" in front of you because you've smashed a Dragon in Sovengarde with the aid of three "obsessed" heroes that could have easily beaten the "guy" themselves? :biggrin:

I'm pissed of too by the ending,but some of you take too seriously this aspect perhaps,forgetting even that we'll have some Dlc that (hopefully) could bring more depth -and more answers - in this regard.

I thought the main quest was great, especially with there being much more to do.

Took a bit for me to realize that was the ending too. I was highly tempted to ragequit.
I was like, so, weres the ending. Looked around a bit. Oh, that's it is it.

i knew something was missing from skyrim. The ending.
Of all the things that could have been forgotten to add in, its the ending, and the ending plays a big part in games/movies etc.
i demand cinematics ><

You guys do know that if they added an ending to Skyrim then the sales will go down dramatically, right? From what I've notice, one of the top 5 reasons people play TES, and some other games by Bethesda, is due to the fact that the game has no ending. It is immortal, if you may say. You can continue playing as long as you wish with one character instead of being force to reload or start a new character, like some games do...

Entirely true. I'm still playing ALL of the previous TES games. In none of them am I messing with the MQ or major side quests (well, I'm not doing MQ/major side quests in Skyrim either....)

They're still just as much fun today as they were when they were new, and they run remarkably well - in fact, MUCH better - than they did on the machines I had when they were new.

The best part of the main story in my opinion its the only quest were you have not to fight (Season Unending) and were you discover even "some depth" in the writing (Ulfric lines above all)

Unfortunately this is even "optional" and its a shame that not all the players had the opportunity to play it. The other optional one (Parthurnax) is good too 'cause imply a real moral choice -even if with few consequences.

If only the Civil War and MQ were all at this same level...

I agree... Bethesda needs to really re-consider who they're pardoning too. As a hardcoe gamer who's been playing the series since Xbox was released, I feel cheated. End bosses like Ninja Gaiden, Halo, Legend of Zelda... Now THEY make you feel like you accomplished something.

What does it mean being a TES hardcoe gamer?

Ha i agree, i knew TES main quests were not satisfying but this one was so anti clinatic and the final "battle" very disappointing.

I was hoping for something more epic in sovngarde, the music was more epic then the battle :)
