What ending is Canon?
Do we know what ending they'll be using as a base for the future DLC?

My guess would be the Strelok ending personally but I don't think we can know for certain, also new DLC might be storylines that are playable throughout the campaign a la what Rogue Trader did as opposed to being a continuation. Personally I'm hoping for Duty/Freedom DLC's to be added that adds content to the campaign.

Yeah I feel like most of us are on the same page. We all want a Freedom/Duty dlc, and most of us can't help but notice the huge zone of Iron Forest that can't be entered (well except the edge to get are notification), and I feel not enough was done with the 2 gangs supported by Freedom and Duty in a sort of proxy war. So I imagine all of us are look at that particular area (which does border the garbage and is between the 2, whether we talking Freedom/Duty or Brood/Commissary, groups to the north) as the likely first major dlc, with a fair idea who is going to be fighting over that contested territory.

Whether Freedom vs Duty, or a proxy war between the gangs, the power void left by Nestor being gone (temporarily filled void while Ward is at Slag Heap), needs to be resolved. That is regardless of ending, and can potentially be approached prior to the ending (or even the resurgence of Monolith). I think a good spot for the trigger of the start would be after visiting Noontide, but before going to the Clear Sky base, if possible coincide it with the exact moment the Ward leaves Slag (even if you need to make that a little sooner).

I'd say Strelok ending. Since Strelok is HIM.

I still need to get that ending, just not sure at what point to switch over from strelok to skiff entering the pod.

I guess to get that ending you gotta 'kill' your competitors?

Yeah but that's just how you get the strelok ending.

Meh. Ok. So the most ridiculous one is the canon? Or maybe Stalker 3 (if it's ever gonna happen) gonna be something bigger than Chornobyl in their eyes

Which one is the "Skif" ending? That doesnt make sense. You mean the ward ending?

The Skif ending is going into the chamber yourself and spreading the zone all over the planet.

if you think about it its the only one that makes sense, only one that allows more games to exist.

Strelok locks the zone down, so no more games.
Ward shuts the zone down and takes control, so no more games
scar brainwashes everyone and lets the zone die, so no more games.

Skif frees the zone and opens more around the world. Only one where stuff can happen.

I see, I got them all now.

My favorite is the Strelok ending, but gameplay-wise the Ward is the best.

Skif's ending is basically being the antagonist of the Stalker franchise.

keep in mind that each stalker game features its own protagonist who is new to the series
