Does the mending rune you choose for the ending matter at all?

[mewlynx]

I used Goldmask's mending rune because I was on a faith character so it seemed appropriate, but I noticed there isn't a unique achievement for it. So what exactly changes between endings when you choose to use a mending rune? Is it just flavor text over you sitting on a throne for each of those endings?

Yes. the mending rune endings are copy pasted. only the ranni and frenzy flame ending are unique

that sucks. I kinda was hoping you'd at least get a glimpse into the consequences of your decision

I was quite disappointed with the ending.....let down....I put 200 hours into it and got a 40 second ending. I did death ending - and yes - same as the others - copy pasted - different ending sentence. Maybe the sky was darker

Unfortunately it's a known issue with from games to have subpar endings.

They did have minor mentioning on what happened with the chosen runes.
Slightly different background and the description are different as well.

It was raining and foggy in the death mending ending. I know it doesn't really make a difference but I thought I'd just clear that up.

Yeah they really dropped the ball with most of the endings.

Elaborate on that, i can't think of a single ending thats been disappointing before this.

I found it strange that the "bad ending" so to speak, was the ending that had the most effort put into it, with an unique FMV.

ds2 ending was basically on par with this games ending, as they both involved sitting down in chairs and nothing else

The bad ending was the coolest imo, most worth it

DS2 ending was one of my favorites cause it meant I got to the end of that train wreck of a game.
Good game but doesn't compare to all the other Fromsoft games.

Obviously didn't get the message of the game then.

nope. I'm talking about the original ds2 before any dlcs or scholar of the first sin, I remember seeing the ending and feeling incredibly underwhelmed, as i didn't get a strong message from the game in general

I'll just mention the OG.

Ending one, touch fire and get burned.

Ending 2, walks on a dark hallway.

If that's enough for you, well, good for you.

99% of videogame endings could be explained that way. It's about the story and what is happening.

Hollow Knight endings for example. First ending you are trapped in a room, 2nd you are trapped in a room with someone, 3rd you die. They are so much more than that yet they can still be simplifed in to that.

Ah yes, nothing is more powerful than imagination. But you can give context and still leave things in the open, Froms endings are just lazy. Take Blasphemous for example, it has a really interesting ending that resolves the main plot, but also leaves a lot of room for speculation.
