How many endings are out there? *spoiler*

[Grey Kihano]

I was checking out some videos in youtube and ended up spoiling myself with the 'kill all dragons' ending. If there are more than two endings, I would like to know how many endings there are.

You don't have to say what kind of ending they are or how to achieve them.

I just want to know how many times I will end up replaying this game.

There are roughly 2 endings. One was specially added just for the Director's Cut that is very unique. The others are minor variations on letting a few people live or die but the epilogue events cannot be stopped or altered.

It's really only two. The other ending is a template with minor details that will change, but overall the outcome is the same.

I actually like that alternative ending Randy refers to. Puts some of the best (to me at least) in-game discussion into perspective. Other ending has around 6 variations that earn you few sentence changes in epilogue text. They would likely have quite different ramification on Shadow Run world later but you don't get to see those played out (you can only speculate).

Trouble is there's a lot of established lore for Shadowrun after this date due to novels, sourcebooks and other resources, so making worldwide changes at game end is hard to pass on to other games without smacking canon around like a red headed stepchild.

As someone who came to SR:DMS without hearing almost nothing about Shadowrun I'd say smack canon however you like as long as story is good. Trademark could become a problem that way however.

2 endings and 5 achievements related to the endings, got it. My next character will use assault rifle for sure next time. It seems like best type of weapon in this game.

AR's are probably the most overall best. I still prefer carrying a pair of pistols for having 2 separate triple-shots though.
