   What the crap? I mean, playing a game over a few times to see different endings is nice but this…

   Just imagine the time it’d take to write a guide!

   a game with 2 endings would be cool. 3 to 5 would be albeit understanding. 6 or more would be… eh, good if your trying to waste time. but 200 endings?? give me a break.

   200? I’d be flat bored out of my mind by number 20.

   They’ll be like Fallout 1/2’s “many” endings. There’s really only two, maybe just one, but the game breaks into a monologue covering the long-term impact of your actions in various major locations. Even with Fallout, you can get all of the possible outcomes in three plays through, but there’s several dozen combinations.

    I agree with Hevach. The game will most likely feature several different cutscenes, that make up an ending, which are then rearranged to make one unique ending. Example: There are three scenes, A, B and C. Any combination of these three scenes could be counted as a distinct ending (such as AB, ABC, BC, CB, B, CAB, etc.). By doing this you would get 15 possible endings out of only three scenes. With 5 scenes there would already be 325 possible combinations.

    Bethesda did not create the fallout series, they bought the IP and are producing the third title. ~_~
