Ohhh, I have been waiting for this one for a long, long time.

And it delivered. I wasn't expecting Alaia's abilities to help out quite the way they did, nor the runes or virtues (God, it really DOES feel like Ultima, as someone else mentioned!) but everything came together into a nice, satisfying conclusion. The guys who wrote the end to ME3 should have hired you instead.

I'd been waffling about Dooku this whole time, of course, and the is-he-good-or-evil debate was raging in my mind right up until the end. =)

I'll save the last comments for the spoiler thread.
