[spoilers] Endings / plot changes?

[CyberShadow]

What is the effect of killing the War Mother / freeing Charlie? (I guess other than that Charlie is present in crew dialogue / the ending)

What is up with the angel boss? Killing it had no apparent effect.

At the start of the second half, a character says "Calm them or kill them, it doesn't matter. Just handle it." Implying there is a pacifist alternative?

There is a bad ending? I'm guessing the good ending is where everyone except Locke survives and humanity slowly recovers.
Edit: the bad ending can be seen in Skuttie's speedrun: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2241560/discussions/0/3773490215215736059/

I might be mistaken but I think I saw something purple quickly fly left across the bottom of the screen right after the Deus Vain fight.

I'm guessing the good ending is do everyones side quest

So free Charlie from the war mother, get the seed for Ygg, get Millys reverse amnesiac and feathers, get the gears for Natya

Correct, Failing to do these tasks nets the bad/abrupt ending

So I take it there is no alternative with the Angel boss (that Locke's dialogue implied). Also, no difference between finnishing off or sparing the Warmother's head?

If so, I suggest, removing the dialogue part from Locke, and make the Warmother's head explode on it's own. Otherwise it just creates expectation where there shouldn't be, and that leads to disappointment (unless of course you actually add something there).

Millie vanished after I have given her reverse amnesic and returned some time later - that cheated me from a good ending.
I have even got the feathers.
