Finished the original story a few days ago, and yeah the ending is confusing. Had to hop on the Alan Wake forums for clues. Besides the ending... the lack of a 'grand' fight was disappointing, unless you consider that massive tornado a 'fight.' Suppose that's a reason for DLC, or maybe a neat ending in some future game when they're sure the franchise is over.
There's a sort of ending to it all if you play through both DLC's and then American Nightmare (considering the DLC itself doesn't finish the story either). I mean, it does manage to wrap up most of the story from the DLC in American Nightmare
