Fixed Ending, Varied Paths Explained
ION LANDS intends the main stories to reach specific endings even though player relationships alter how the journey unfolds.
Quick answer: Expect meaningful route variation without assuming every decision creates a wholly separate final cinematic.
Three-point checklist
- Confirm the rule: The community Q&A uses both a defined ending and different paths to describe story structure.
- Plan around it: The distinction reduces false expectations about either total linearity or infinite branching.
- Do not assume: Ending count remains unconfirmed.
