What was your choice? [SPOILERS]

[WolfPad]

What did you guys choose at the end of your first playthrough and why?

[Sheepless Ram]

I chose to save the world, because I didn't trust the World Machine and I thought Niko would die with this world when I shatter the sun.

[Draith]

I shattered the sun to save niko for i didn't know what would happen to him if I saved the world, even though I was wanting to deffy the entities desirs

[Acoomy]

Shattered the sun bruh,if it weren't for the final chapter,saving the world is probably the worst ending of all.It's already dying and now,niko dies along with it.It's been referenced several times throughout the game,the sun won't fix everything.I dun wan my precious niko to get hurt

[WolfPad]

I personally chose to return the sun. It took me about 15 minutes of pacing to make that decision but in the end, Niko was okay with making the sacrifice and I think I would do the same in her stead. Besides, we're not certain what would become of Niko after. Perhaps she'll be fine and the sun will fix the world (now we know that's not the case but at the time it was a possibility). What we DO know is that without the sun everyone in that world would inevitably die so...

Thank god for Solstice run, eh?

[NaƬe]

I saved niko, she's the only "real things" in the world and at the start my mission was to "make Niko leave" and who gonna to be MAD at her ? They're all dead xD !
But for me "save the world" ending isn't a good ending: Niko don't wanted to be a savior, she just want her family, her village, and also the fact that the lightbulb is a limited good ending because one day he'll broke (like for the older messiah) so it's just giving time but no real solution

[predicantAcolyte]

Save the world, cause ♥♥♥♥ it. I didn't spent all that time getting there just to let the world rot away.

[Mini]

I shattered the sun, cause I thought niko was important even tho I didnt agree the entity on saying the world is not worth saving. I thought maybe I can try to save it again but niko is important...

[Asmendorius]

saved the world, i was imagining that guilt will be truly powerful for niko.

imagine this: you are a child and you already know that becose of you whole universe was doomed with peoples you know and cared.
niko do not know it was npc, and on this point neither did we, we could only speculate.

[allstarsports10]

I shattered the sun because it seemed like the world was going to die anyway from the squares so I at least wanted to save Niko.

(Solstice spoilers)

Since it is revealed that the squares come from the world machine because it is unwillingly putting Niko in danger even though no machines are ever supposed to hurt a human. If Niko died (or was trapped) , the world machine might have just imploded, knowing that it killed/doomed a human. But idk thats just what I think.

[rasinbran11]

I chose to save the world, and return the sun.

Even though I had little to no idea of what would happen to Niko, I wanted to give the people in this world and opportunity to live. Even though Niko is the best, I felt like saving a world was worth one life. And if Niko survived, he would have close friends with him in that world, in the Barrens, the Glen, and so on.

And then when the Solstice run came along, well.
I finished that run and chose to save this world, tame the World Machine, and send Niko home.

I reset the game, and I'm currently persuading my friends to play.

[Vimbert]

I saved Niko. Most of the people we met during the journey were fairly devoid of hope, and I kept hearing that having a new sun wouldn't fix everything. Knowing that I dragged that unwilling, adorable cat-child into all this felt too wrong, so after a good ten minutes of pacing and agonizing, I chose to damn a world to save Niko. It left me emotionally drained-I tend to play very selfishly in games, but this time it really hit me that I was discarding an entire world for one person. It hurt.

It hurt a lot.

Thank the gods for the Solstice run.

[BjjB]

i dont own the game but i watched a playtrough from mark, the only thing that Niko dreamt about was his home, his mother not about saving the world, a lot of people thought from his standpoint, but didnt think about Nikos's home, about his mother, we havent heard about Niko's father not even in the dream of Niko's birthday either the father died or left them, i dont think Niko would be ok to leave his/her mother alone without any warning so he can trap himself in a dying world that even the sun won't save.... (and this is before i knew of the solstice ending)

i think you owe Niko after making him/her believe he/she can save the world and go home.
thats why i would choose (without the game and ive seen all endings) to shatter the sun and at least bring an inoccent child back to to his mother.....



(Btw where is the father did i miss something)

[Okami Amaterasu]

Shattered the sun. Niko is more worth saving than the world. He's got a family back in his own world after all.

[DeadΘDogsΔCorpse]

I chose to return the sun. Think about how Niko would feel about that decision for the rest of his life. He would have to live with the knowledge that he willingly murdered hundreds of people just so he could go home. Honestly in my opinion choosing to shatter the sun is really selfish, both on the player's part and on Niko's. I also told myself that maybe niko survived after returning the sun and got to stay in the world. Sure he can't go home, but atleast he has a new home and he saved an entire world. And concerning Niko being an innocent child with a family at home and how he doesn't deserve to be killed just so the world can survive: what about Alula? and Calamus? They are both innocent children, don't they deserve to live too?

Concerning which ending is the "good" ending, I have to say neither of them are. If you return the sun, a young kid gets possibly killed, andif not killed he has to stay in a strange world where he can never see his family or home ever again. If you destroy the sun you kill thousands of people and destroy an entire world. Now that I think about it, before the solstice update, the ending of the game is really depressing and bleak.

[sunny_flavored]

I cried so hard when I eventually made the choice, but I was too attached to my baby Niko. I sent him home. And, as others have said... thank you for the Solstice Run. Honestly, I probably would've been upset for the next few days. I'm not real good at making important decisions. Pffff.
