With all the stuff you have to do in a day, there’s simply not enough time to get through the huge pile of games you need to finish. Unless you find a surprising shortcut that takes to you the ending - or at least an ending - in a mere fraction of the time.

    Actually, you could leave from the road you start on at almost any point in the game. But you might be thinking of denying help after being tied to the railroad tracks. That happens when you enthusiastically say you want to join the guy bullying the girl, they don't even let you fight, they just beat you up in a cutscene and leave you tied to railroad tracks. You can squirm, but there's no way to escape, eventually the opposing samurai clan comes by and offers to help you for a price. If you deny that a train will come and give you a big kiss. I love that series for how the decisions affect the game in progress, not just the endings.

    So, I only played the original a long long time ago and maybe the remake made things clearer but - continued spoilers: I thought Ellen's diary entries followed by the escape sequence were implying that Ellen lured Viola into the house in hopes of some horror delivering her body to her that way, then chased her around when all else failed to finally catch the body you've been piloting this whole time. Point is, in my head-canon, the ending was a "good ending" in that Viola escapes safely and Ellen was put a stop for once and for all. Still sad and brutal that a desperate little girl who spent the last of her talents and mortal life reaching for a life without suffering was outfoxed and shotgunned for her efforts. The Viola-was-Ellen-from-the-start of it all is wild to me!

    @@Hunted0LessShirt Hate to break it to you, but if you do the hardest ending the scene at the end is a bit more filled out. Then as they enter the forest Ellen stops fleeing and has a conversation with Viola. Amongst other things she tells Viola she will take care of her father for her, and calls her directly by name. Then after that conversation Viola's father arrives and it plays out very similarly to the regular ending. Except Viola more clearly says "father" and "help me" before getting shot. And Ellen stays on screen for a few seconds after dad walks away, laughs at Viola and then runs off. Essentially, Ellen who had lived with her failing body could manage the pain much better than Viola could, especially with the maiming. So once the swap happened Ellen just left the house and was heading out of the forest when Viola manages to order the house to stop her. The house, being magical but not smart enough to know it wasn't Ellen giving it orders does so. That's why you can get a cheap ending by just remaining outside until Viola dies, as the house is using Ellen's original bodies magic to function. It's a shame there's no way to get a good ending where Viola is freed, but that's horror games for you I suppose.

    I think it's option 3, Ellen doesn't want to sit around and wait for Viola to die. She wants to enjoy her new life after all. So she simply goes in to ensure she can get out of there as fast as possible. Canonically she knows all the traps and quirks of the house so she's not really risking anything.

    In Mortal Shell if you bring the NPC called Baghead several items, that can all be found in the starting area, he essentially asks if you want to sit and chill with him. If you agree it triggers a cutscene where you sit by the fire with Baghead, jamming out on a lute, while monsters overrun various brigand camps, followed by the credits rolling. Technically the game doesn’t actually end though as you get kicked back to the last check point after the credits end

You're meant to be this Almighty creator of these little raposa and one begs for your help at the start of the game to save them. If you say no, the little girl begging for your help, gives up pretty much saying they're doomed and the game cuts back to the rather cutesy opening as if you didn't just leave a bunch of cute little creatures to be consumed by darkness.

Or you can follow your captain's orders, evacuate to a safe(ish) location, and let the ships get on with fighting without you. Unlike the other games, Q doesn't imply everything is doomed because of your cowardice, he's just disgusted you didn't want to go on his cool adventure.

    In Warioland 2 for the Gameboy color, the game starts with Wario sleeping in bed and the sound of an alarm clock ringing, so you press A to jump out of bed and start your adventure - which obviously begins with Wario finding and smashing the alarm clock (that's the whole first level, it's a wierd game). But if you stay in bed, press no buttons and ignore the alarm clock for about 30 seconds - the "level completed" music starts playing while Wario is still asleep. Then you get a cutscene where Wario is kidnapped (still sleeping the whole time), which leads to an alternate branching path storyline with different levels and a different final boss. That game was awesome and Wario is awesome. You can totally see why Luke thinks he's the best fictional character of all time

    Hmmm didn't think this would count because it's not exactly a good ending. Unless you think "blowing up the world with a giant death laser then being transformed into a mindless cortex reaver" counts as a good ending. But you can, if you so desire, activate the giant death laser in "System Shock" before you activate the shield that causes it to backfire and self-destruct. Said death laser will destroy the earth, you get captured by robots and transformed into a cortex reaver, yadda yadda yadda. But honestly... System Shock is hard. Why not take the easy way out?

    I never did beat Myst but I read the first novel that came with it when I was 9 or 10. It was a bit hard to start but once it found its pace it was surprisingly good. Well I never finished the game so maybe the story got more fleshed out as you progressed but basically it was about writing in books created worlds. It was back when development teams were small and cared enough to hire a author to write 2 books for their game. I’d recommend it though a bit of a slog to start, which I suppose mirrors the actual game fairly well

A far more merciful ending instead of being told you were lied to and then killed by your own father because of how destroyed the body you're trapped in is. Ellen however, is still a massive dick for using Viola like she did and Voila needs all the hugs and comfort she can get after being treated like that.
