What a horrible ending. (SPOILERS, obviously)

[johbowfor]

This has to be the worst ending I have ever experienced in a game. This unsatisfying ending almost ruined the game for me. What the hell did any of that mean at the end? I have read the theories, and none of them would make any sense given the circumstances. Also, where the hell is crane???

If you read the source material it would all make sense to you. And what did you want? a straightforward Hero beats Villian ending? It's thought provoking, it's much more interesting.

I thought the ending was great. It left the door open for a possible sequel without throwing away too much of the canon.

What happens to Crane is shown in the game but potentially missed if you didn't check the mirror at the required point. What did any of what mean? Specifics are kind of important.

I understand that Nerissa is is supposed to be faith or vice versa, but I guess it was just a letdown since it did not shock me or something. Maybe i missed something, but if she is really faith, why would it even matter? Nerissa was not that important of a character, and faith was in the game for about 3 minutes. I believe this is why it was a bad ending.

Within most noir the character who sets the plot rolling isn't generally in the story for long due to being killed their death however is still what drives the story.

The problem with this is that since they are in the story for such a short period of time, I do not care much about them.

But that has nothing to do with the quality of the game.

It has to do with the quality of the ending of the game.

That's where i don't agree. Actually the Ending is what makes Faith/Nerissa important because Bigby realized that he was just a pawn in her game. She lead him to take down the Crooked Man to become free from the ribbon and her sad life and nobody but her was aware of that. That actually makes her maybe the most important character in the game besides Bigby.

Btw, i personally believe it is Faith that tricked whole Fabletown. I just makes more sense, the game mentions at various occassions that she is known to trick people by changing her appearance.

Nah, I agree with you. In tell-tale fashion, the ending of this game sucks big donkey balls. If you liked it, that's fine. I didn't. It was too "gimmicky" for me, too "buy our next game to find out what happened". I'll read the comics instead.

Now I understand, Thanks. I now realize why I was wrong.

i loved the ending, i wouldn't change anything actually, but it is a matter of taste

So um..maybe I am missing something here but just one thing though. Whose head was that at the doorstep then if Faith is Nerissa whose still clearly alive? Was it a random person's head that was glamoured to look like Faith's head? o_0 I am somewhat confused.

This. Did she kill someone and plant his glamoured head?
