Dragon Age: Inquisition could have had a drastically different ending!

A recent trend on Twitter has been developers sharing confessions about what they’ve done in projects or hiding special mechanics that they couldn’t share with players when the game first launched. A handful of developers who worked on Dragon Age: Inquisition were involved in the work on this project. One of Inquisition’s lead writers, David Gaider, shares that the game’s epilogue was originally planned to be significantly different from the final product shipped to fans and was playable with player choices affecting what happens.

Gaider shared the original plan to end Inquisition after John Epler’s confessions, revealing to players that Horse Racing did nothing when sharing useless facts they knew about the game.

Gaider shares that he’s been pushing for a legitimate conclusion rather than leaving it as a cliffhanger. However, the team declined to choose Gaider, as this would have required too much effort for the developers and would have been somewhat costly, as it consumed resources that could have gone elsewhere. In the end, Jader understood, unfortunately, due to how few players made it to this stage of the game.

Gaider’s efforts weren’t in vain, as much of what he shared and worked with with his team saw him move on to Trespasser, additional content for Inquisition that many see as the de facto and final ending to the game. The ending features a distinct connection to the next game, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

For some fans, it can be disheartening to know what could have been a fitting ending to Inquisition. However, Gaider reassures those who read his tweets that development for this ending has not gone beyond the planning stages, and he is fully satisfied with the ending they presented to the game. However, fans are still furious over the appearance of the final antagonist, Solas, who reveals himself to be the legendary Dredwolf, and how he dispatched Flemeth, the other legendary character who appeared in all three Dragon Age games.

With Dragon Age: Dreadwolf officially in development at Bioware, and arriving at an unknown date nearly a decade after Inquisition debuted, fans can tie up the loose ends they have left with Solas and end the story with this villain.
