There are a lot of topics about content in the game, content about to be in the game, and content we wish could be in the game. But, there hasn't been much talk about content at the end of the game. Now, I know the ending is a long way off. At the pace the devs are going, I don't see the game being completed until late 2016/early 2017. But then again, I don't know how much they have planned for the game, so that estimate is just like finding a needle in a haystack.
The main plot of the game was introduced early on in the tutorial. Not long after, you encounter the main antagonist. Your mission: to find all of the pods leading you to your inheritance before your cousin does. On your journey, you will visit various planets and search for your inheritance pod. Whether by choice or not, your arrival, and the decisions thereafter, often brings about great change for the planet you are on. Looking back at the planets, it is possible to see the mark that Victor Steele's child has left. Many of the planets can have vastly different "endings" based on what Steele does.
With that in mind, I can't wait to see how the main story turns out. However, with the way things are looking, and how people always want everything, I can't see the game having more than one ending. With all the choice in the game, if there is only one ending, it would kind of feel like a letdown; as if all the choices made throughout the game were somehow meaningless. One of the big worries about retrieving the inheritance is that if Steele's DNA is too far separated from Victor Steele's DNA, then the pods would not recognize the child and refuse to give up the inheritance. That would make it seem like the only good ending for the game is retrieving the inheritance and the only bad ending would be that Jack/Jill gets it.
I have seen many games and movies where the goal that the protagonist aimed to reach at the beginning of the story was not obtained, but the characters were still able to have a happy ending. The main movies that I can think of off the top of my head that do this are The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and this one baseball movie where a kid is in charge of a professional baseball team which loses the final game, but are able to stay around or something like that. In games, some of the big ones that I can think of are Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Fallout: New Vegas.
Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that I would like to see the ending get affected by the choices we make throughout the game. At the moment, I can't think of many other ways that the game could end other than Steele gets it or not. The only other "happy" endings I can think of is that Steele doesn't get the inheritance, but due to all the choices he/she made throughout the game, a new company gets founded by Steele that comes to rival Steele Tech. Or due to their cruelty, Steele became the leader of the undergalaxy (because they aren't just limited to one world).
Argh, sorry for the text message, I just think that, even though it's a long way off, if there is discussion about it earlier, then there could be thought on how the ending of the game will play out. I have seen quite a few games where the start and middle of the game were great, but the ending of the game... felt lacking.
