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.
When CD Projekt says ending, it means “state of the world”, junior designer Jan Bartkowicz told Eurogamer.
“What is an ending?” he said. “In some games the ending is the final cut-scene, the summary. In The Witcher 2, political things are more important than they were in the first one. 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.
