I think the ending was perfect, given that we have the xpac coming out in a couple months. It's a great change-up from the cliched setup: the good guy wins, the bad guy crawls off to lick his wounds and swears revenge. No, ED went the "Return of the Jedi" way: things are BAD, and you are profoundly SCREWED. Coming soon: "The Dragon returns, and he is royally pissed off".
I do hope that there is an explanation as to why Ygerna is so unbelievably AWESOME. I could swear that Damian looked positively embarrassed in the final cutscene. It must have been a blow to his fragile bald-headed ego: here he is, puffing his chest and being the big bad avatar of the Ultimate Evil... meanwhile, his girlfriend and erstwhile mentor single-handedly brings herself from the dead by ensnaring the most powerful living mages AND the last Dragon Knight. Hell, even Patriarch got caught in her web in a way. I wonder if she is something MUCH more than what we believe she is... Demon of Lies itself perhaps?
