Multiple endings

So, we've seen the single-player campaign. It looks like you can choose which path to take in
the storyline. So it means that multiple endings are possible.

I personally don't want multiple endings. What about you?
Do you want StarCraft2 to have multiple endings?

:gossip:

 

I don't think it's possible. Most probably you'll play all three races throughout the game and the order will be fixed. If the first campaign had 4 different endings then the next would have 4 different ways of starting with 4 different ways of ending and the third having the same. That would require a lot of work story wise, maps and cinematics wise which would increase the size of the game and postpone the realease date.

As little as we know about it, I like the player's freedom in the campaigns but I don't see different endings happening. There will probably be maps you won't play if you choose to go with X instead of Y but you'll end up at the same ending one way or the other.

 

I know that. But it's still a possibility.

 

No, they already stated that the ways may be different but the end will be the same for everyone. They would have to declare a canon route anyway for SC3...

 

I see no reason for it, all the games that do have multiple endings I've never really liked except the ones that have endings per level rather than which path you choose, I'll stick to the archaic one ending.

 

Here's an idea. You can play the campaigns in any order, each one ending with that race reuniting the Xel'Naga artifacts. But instead of winning, you unleash the Xel'Naga's wrath upon all, so everyone is equally screwed.

But then, when the expansion comes out, Blizzard will have to choose which story is the real one, and that can cause problems. So, I guess only 1 story is best.

 

i wouldnt mind multiple endings

 

Multiple ending could in a way work.... In the way that there is 1 ending that will be "canon" and true to the story while the others could be easter eggs of some form. Since these "secondary endings" would have basicly no relation to the main plot and mostly be for satire and such i voted no....

 

The sub plots will be like Easter eggs in my opinion. I guess that every race will have something between 1 and 3 sub plots, depending on how deep they'll go. The true starcraft fans will discover funny/semi important facts/lore by completing them, which i myself will enjoy doing.

 

sc is basically...how u say it...uh

you are the hero, the enemy, and someone who just happened to be some place at the wrong time

 

I think it should have different possible deviations that will all ultimately lead to the same ending, but no, definitely not more than one ending :bad:

 

Where did you see this?

Anywho, I voted no because having multiple endings would mean that there's no canonical ending until Blizzard says so, and they could take their sweet time to give us a definitive ending which would piss off a lot of people. I'm sure most people would like to see a nice close to what's going on in the Starcraft universe, not some open ended conclusion like how Warcraft 2 ended.

 

If i remember correctly during the blizzcon video blizzard that each races campaign would be sorta football shaped where you start at one place and end at one place but the path you choose to get there can be different.

 

Go here and scroll down to find
BlizzCon 07 Story Mode Walkthrough. There are four parts.

 

That's not the campaign. That's the Terran gameplay video. It has nothing to do with the campaign. Also you can download the good version from Starcraft2.com

 

I has the terran video and a single-player campaign video!

 

No. It would not be fair to give a game with such a rich and deep lore more than one ending. Everything has fit together so well up to now...I mean, imagine the difficulty of writing a novel about something that happens after StarCraft II if there are multiple endings.

Plus, in an interview with Blizzard I think they said that no matter which path you chose to take in the Campaign or which order you chose to do the missions in, you would always end up in the same place once you finished. I'm glad about that.

 

Me too. I hate multiple endings.

 

No multiple endings. It screws up the storyline, and one of the reasons SC was so great was because its story kicked a**. The secondary missions will be mostly for getting more money to buy new units/upgrades, at least for Terran.

 

I voted no. There must be one and one only storyline.
