Description
I felt a little jarred out of the game by Bryce's good ending, as I truly meant what I'd said to Maverick earlier on. As such, I decided to dive into the modtools and provide some paths to fix it.

This mod gives you the option to control your actions, branching the ending into a few different versions of events, where you can explain yourself if you take the same actions more deliberately, back down when you've made your point, or avoid the confrontation at all.

How to get the mod endings:
- Reach Bryce's normal good ending
- Make your choices

That's it.

I'm not one of the more fancy modders, so every ending links back to the canon credits and will still grant the achievement associated with Bryce's good ending, whether it makes sense or not.

Mod compatbility note: I developed this mod with EvilChaosKnight's Savior mod installed, ensuring compatibility along the way. All but one of my options appear only on the canon good ending path, and that option does not disrupt Savior's flow at all.

Ending list (spoilers, obviously):
- Vanilla: Pull out Reza's gun and immediately shoot Maverick. Effect: Returns to the purely canon ending of this scene, in case another mod requires it.
- Trust...
- ...and omissions: Freeze, then don't mention Izumi. Effect: Returns to the canon epilogue at your apartment without you killing Maverick.
- ...and goodbyes: Freeze, mention Izumi, tell him you can't stay. Effect: Returns to the canon epilogue at your house without you killing Maverick.
- ...and explanations: Freeze, mention Izumi, tell him you'll stay. Effect: Changes the scene at your house to give you two a little more time. Also keeps you from killing Maverick.
- Reasonable Actions: Pull out Reza's gun, hesitate, do anything but take revenge. Effect: You don't kill Maverick and the canon epilogue at your apartment with Bryce plays.
- Vengeance: Pull out Reza's gun, hesitate, take revenge. Effect: Bryce sees you kill him in colder blood. What you say next will affect him. This is the only ending that diverges narratively from the canon in what you can bring to the next timeline.

I have a plan to update the mod with a teetotaller route that isn't as... rude to Bryce. I'll look into trying to do that without breaking saves then. I'm going to start working on that after my next mod comes out.

Just FYI, the difficulty with getting that information isn't getting a hook to do stuff at that text location. The problem is that, at least as far as I understand it, you can't have undefined variables. If I load a save file made without mod up to Chapter 5, then query my variable from Chapter 2, because they ran Chapter 2 without my mod it crashes my mod. (An error like "No variable named 'naomiavailable'." to use the A Solitary Mind example from my last post.) AFAIK, there's no easy way around that, though there might be a convoluted way to make it work.

could you hook into the line of text that your character says in esponse to maverick in chapter 2?
4onen  [author] 8 Jun, 2021 @ 5:27pm 
Mm, that would be nice. I'll think about it, but this mod is already a pretty solid brick of working -- if it ain't broke...

Took a look anyway. The game doesn't save what you tell Maverick about whether you'd shoot him, so I can't hook that information without breaking everyone's non-persistent save files ( A Solitary Mind style.) However, I do already vary [Stand Your Ground] based on what you said that chapter, the same way the base game did so, so I think that's a nice little tie-back there. * shrug *

what if you had maverick respond to you shooting him/not shooting him vary based on what you said to him after the 2nd investigation?

Shucks! That is an error. Ah, I really should pick a more ridiculous name for mod testing save files so I can make sure I'm not writing in one of my rp character names. I'll patch that and ask Blue whether a patch needs re-approval.

Hey, just want to say thank you for this. I really appreciate this mod for making the vanilla ending read more believable (if you so choose). I also feel it's a good step going toward Savior.

I think I spotted one error though. Choosing [Don't say anything] to [Freeze] causes Bryce to say "Leave Matthew alone!" I think this is an error anyways unless there's someone at the department named Matthew and wasn't referring to the MC. It's possible!
