Not all original endings?

[Henry]

I loaded an early savegame and opened the fissure but no-one came (and no achievement). I thought Gehn showed up and killed Atrus in the original?
Also loaded a save before “learning” the prison combo and it didn’t work; this makes sense story-wise, but you can’t rescue Catherine without trapping Gehn then.
IIRC original had like 10 ending combinations… which ones are present here?

[Doppy37]

I think there are still 10 endings.
If you visit Tay, get the code for opening the fissure, then use it before capturing Gehn and before freeing Catherine, Gehn will shoot Atrus.

I don't think you could free Catherine without trapping Gehn in the original either.

Yes, but if you instead load an earlier save before you would have learned the code, it happens as they describe, no one showing up.

Theres an additional ending in this one, beyond all of the same ones from the original, and it happens if you use the trap book before linking to Riven at the very start of the game.

Unfortunately it is you, and not Atrus, that must now pay the price for this foolishness. Oh well, there's still time....

Here's every ending I found:

1: Trap yourself in the book before going to Riven. Atrus is upset at your foolishness.
2: Trap yourself in the book on Tay. The rebels wonder what you were thinking.
3: Trap yourself in the book on Riven before meeting Gehn.
4: Trap yourself in the book on Riven after meeting Gehn.
5: Follow Gehn through the book, freeing him and trapping yourself.
6: Open the star fissure before trapping Gehn. Gehn ambushes Atrus and kills him.
7. Open the star fissure after trapping Gehn, and before rescuing Catherine. Atrus is upset.
8. Open the star fissure after trapping Gehn, after rescuing Catherine. Good ending.

Additionally:
9. Irritate Gehn by refusing to trap yourself in the book three times. Gehn shoots you.
10. Return to Tay after trapping Gehn, then trap yourself in the book. Gehn now has access to Tay.

Also
11. Open the star fissure before going to Tay. Nobody shows up and you fall through the fissure with no narration. (Not sure if intentional, since in theory you can’t know the code before retrieving Catherine’s journal, but if you load a savegame after knowing it, you can use it.)
(The one I posted in the question)

Hmmm tried your 10 but the animation that plays is the same as not trapping Gehn… but I suppose he is is there somewhere ha.

If you havent seen #10 in the original game, it's worth looking up.

Oh no! What have you done? You've unleashed the most sinister god-complex intelligence known to man on the people of Tay, in full 3d! This is clearly problematic, since Cyan seems to have programmed the Moeity guards to do nothing but stand there. They dont stand a chance.

As soon as they realize he doesn’t have 12 fingers they’ll stop being intimidated anyway

I would love to see the Moeity guards go full-on Skyrim/Oblivion guard on Gehn.

Cyan, if you did this during development, I demand you release the footage!

10 endings in the original? I only ever saw 3. Got a youtube of all of them?

[Henry]

Just replayed ending 10 and yes, it's fixed ;)

[tech_hutch]

I wonder if they fixed the ending where Atrus's head clips into you lol
