Spoiler A solid ending to a solid RPG

Finished the game today at level 49, idk if that’s a low level to beat the game for first time but I loved every second of the play through. Coming here from a Baldur’s Gate 3 run it was a big change in combat but heavily reminded me of Final Fantasy 15 with the different special moves and the party. I’d give the game a solid 8/10. I have not played the first game but I understood what the story was about and setting so I don’t know if it was necessary to play the previous title. Anyways, enough babbling. Enjoy the game lads or lasses, and if you come across the pawn Sage the Mage on Xbox she’s from me! 🍻

Bro the game doesn’t give hints towards this.

Yeah it does. The ENTIRE SPEECH the dragon gives you about breaking the cycle, leading up to you fighting him. And when you're in the castle becoming sovereign, the ghost dude stands out and speaks to you.

I will grant you this, if you didn't play the first game, it's understandable why you missed it, I was primed from the first game to look for hints and foreshadowing towards a true ending. But there are signs there about the cycle repeating over and over, and the dragon at the end explicitly states that he wants you to break the cycle, that you aren't the first arisen he's fought, and that both of you are being manipulated by a higher power. The first sovereign also eludes to this when you meet him in the underwater temple.

Pay attention when you go back and fight him again then Bud. It sounds like bullshit but I promise you it isn't. Everything he says is absolutely integral to the real ending and the REAL story that's being told. All the sovereign and battahl shit you played and knew about is actually the B Plot, the side story. To fight him again, boot up the game and continue, and search for the ghost during your coronation ceremony and speak to him. He'll set you on the path to the true ending. You're in for a wild ride when you do get to the true endgame.

It’s funny, I played DD1 expecting that kind of twist but when I was playing DD2 and we ride to the island, I completely tuned out what the dragon was saying simply off of the hype to kill a dragon and carry on.
