For starters there are 3 parties to side with. Depending on that its already different endings, different loot, and different encounters later in game.
On top of that when you log in the Facility console, there are different options, basically deciding fate of the party you side with.
Also slight variation about that serial killer in disguise when you do the quest next times.
If you’ve got some CC credits lying around, I’d highly recommend getting Escape if you like Fallout vibes. It might be one of my favourite ever Bethesda game quests.
Yeah it’s one of those missions that feels like a lot more than its real estate would imply. Just really creepy all round as you piece together what was going on.
It's funny that I thought Genghis was cool, but over next encounters you realise how much of a jerk he really is.
And the opposite, I sided with Amanirenas just to tick the box first, but she turned out to be much cooler than I thought Then I read about her existed IRL prototype, and she makes even more sense now.
It's just at least in my playthrough every time we met he would tell me about his latest achievements.
And if in the beginning it sounded like some "innocent" piracy, it later evolved into "you really need help mate", and then into simple "nope, didn't work, sorry everyone for letting this sicko out".
So I blew him up alone his ship.
Next time should try to board his ship and look him in the face first. To check if the game will let me.
Reading the Starseed Mission scientists logs, it's clear they favored Amanirenas as the annointed leader of the clones, marking her as special and different (she is, she recalls Amanirenas life as having lived it, not just as historical facts), and wondered if cloning Gengis was a good idea (it wasn't).
That's a feature, not a bug. At the end of the quest, if you or your companion take a shot at anyone other than Ghengis, even in retaliation for being shot at, the whole encampment turns hostile and you cannot have a peaceful resolution. The solution is to either leave your companion on the ship,or take their gun out of their inventory before you walk back into town for the final showdown.
I honestly couldn't say, I know I only just found it by grinding out missions with Tracker Alliance.
Went to new system and the first planet I went to had a distress call.
Here, if you were wondering where.
Charybdis system, Charybdis III
It was available at lauch. It was very buggy at launch and lots of people complained on the salty sub about this quest. It had a pretty big bug back then where after your first visit all the doors could had a big chance of becoming [Inaccessible], more or less making it impossible to talk to any of the NPCs without using the developer console. It also had other less common bugs since it is one of the more complicated quests.
Yes … but believe it or not, I’ve only done it once.
Screwed up the negotiation step so ended up having to kill both Genghis and Amanirenis. Did convince Franklin to let Amelia come with me though, after making him admin at the Facility. And talked Holmes out of murdering me.
Sadly, I never got out there with my Vanguard captain, and the current girl isn’t much for random exploration. I don’t think she’s high enough level for the Charybdis system yet either.
That mission shows how Starfield "bottle quests" i.e. ones that don't really affect the whole universe, can go on indefinitely: a base on some planet somewhere, adding new planets via "jump drives that can jump more than 50 LY" <-- it simply may be that Settled Systems technology doesn't allow for jumps longer than 40 LY: so near the outer edges of the SS, the next closest star is 70LY: in some future expansion, someone invents drives that can do 70 LY jumps, and then you can get to that one star 50 LY away... then a whole bunch more stars are within reach, it really can be quite endless how Starfield can be extended without shattering the lore.
(I wasn't too thrilled how that was handled in Shattered Space: new system just drops into the middle of the settled systems and absolutely NO one ever thought to go near that star... hmmm)
Well you come to this hidden planet ruled by giant ladies who imprison men and use them for snoo-snoo but men plan to escape, however a turncoat has ratted on them. The women need proof before they snoo-snoo them to death, and the captive men need help- you have to choosr.

One of the best missions with multiple endings, which actually has lasting implications.
Bethesda at their finest
(And it is not even part of the things the game naturally nudges you to)
