You know what would be messed up

What if whether or not the meteor hits depends on whether or not you get the good or bad endings.

Like imagine the golden ending where everything goes fine and all the troubles are fixed is the one ending where the meteor hits DIRECTLY where everyone in the game lives. Players thinking they're saving everyone by picking the bad endings get rewarded by the meteor hitting and the characters having to deal with the nuclear-esque winter that ensues, on top of everything sucking.

Ignore the post above, it's a bot.

Are you saying that it's a good ending that the characters die quickly and painlessly, and a bad ending that everyone lives but horribly? That is an interesting way to see it; but it could also be seen as a monkey's paw situation: Everyone survives and that's good but they have to live with their worst decisions and their bonds ruined, or everyone dies wich is bad but at least they made their peace.

I am looking forward to imagining a post-apocalyptic continuation, like Mad Max or Fallout but with dinosaurs. That would be awesome. But I want to see exactly how the game ends first.

Yeah basically a monkey's paw situation. Obviously, objectively it's best to continue living, since this is a world where people outside of the characters we focus on live, but in the hypothetical bad ending everyone graduated high school in perhaps the worst possible way, bridges burnt and everyone splitting off.
