Relates to “states of the world”.
Polish developer CD Projekt has clarified its claim that PC exclusive role-playing game The Witcher 2 has 16 endings.

It’s still action-packed and there is the story of Geralt, but it’s a broader game. We go to a lot of different places. We see kingdoms clashing. It’s more epic in scale.
