Decision Trees & Endings

[Merq]

Anyone have a link to a chart or diagram that shows the latest decision trees and what they lead to or how they affect the game later, including the choices that lead to each ending?

The only real "choice" you have to make as far as endings is at the end after you meet Hanako at Embers.

After you do that quest you go up to the roof with and talk to Silverhand and he basically asks you who you want to go attack the tower with.

If you refuse to attack the tower and go with Hanako you get one ending. The only thing that really impacts that (and not by much) is if you saved Takemura or not. If you did he comes with you.

If you attack the tower with Rogue you get a different ending.

If you did the quests for Panam you can attack the tower with her and get a different ending.

There is a "secret" ending which is just you attacking the tower alone, which you have to pick some very specific dialogue choices in a certain quest to get, best to look it up but that ending is almost identical to rogue's ending anyway.

There's the suicide ending, pretty straight forward there.

And if you did Phantom Liberty AND gave Songbird to Myers you can get a different ending.

The only other ending is if you give Silverhand your body or not. If you give him your body after the tower raid you get another ending there too.

Some quests have branches but not really. The only one's I really know of are the Phantom Liberty main quest where you side with So Mi or Reed and the quest to get the Flathead where you can side with Malestrom or Militech. Other than that I really don't remember anything that really gave me a real choice that made much difference outside of that specific quest.

A few mentions with the messages in the credits, though.

A slight difference depending on how V treated Pan-Am, Judy, River, Kerry, and Jefferson (and nothing if you didn't do anything for them at all). I'm trying to recall if there are others than the standard main-story group (such as Misty, Viktor, Rogue etc. who also change depending on main-story choices at the decision gate after OP55No1).

the difference between saving Takemura and not, he can leave V a message.
Not sure if he talks to you after the Arasaka ending, but if you saved him and then did not go with Hanako's offer, he sends you an angry goodbye.
and if you took the NUSA ending, he also can send you a message if you saved him.

oh, and MY personal ending....
which is...to never go to Embers and just start right over again XD
(Honestly..Hanako must hate my different V's so much by now. But hey, at least she has a comfy club with bodyguards and a fine grand piano to play while she sits there forever...waiting....)
