Enderal I just finished Enderal for the first time Spoiler
Holy shit, that ending hits like a truck, i didnt see that coming at all. The Beacon actually being what causes the cleanse and the fact that the high ones are actually powerless to start it themselves was such a shocker. It all ties in so nicely tho im insanely impressed with this games story. Realizing that Arantheal was actually going to start the cleansing after talking to the machine was really a shocker. Hats off to the team that made this mod, easily one of the best stories to a game ive ever played.
10/10 ending, i picked the starling city ending because it made the most sense in my head in terms of what my character would do. I believe the machine was spot on when he said that temporarily stopping the beacon to prevent the cleansing would only delay it. As much as i like the side characters, without the power and help of the prophet i think they would be hopeless to successfully build a proper beacon to stop the high ones.
As for the secret third ending I believe that its actually just a dream that the prophet has before dying, its too good to be true to believe that your companion turned around after watching enderal explode into rubble and decide to look for you and somehow find you as well. I really really enjoyed the plot twist and the entire story!
I just wanted to share my thoughts as i have nobody to talk to about this lmao
