Avadon 1 - Bad End (spoilers)

[wackypanda]

The title of the topic is a proper noun, not a criticism of the ending per se.

 

When fighting Redbeard, did anyone actually take the Bad End where you can have your companions executed? I assumed most people who gave up the fight would simply reload and take the loyal dialogue tree. (I modded Redbeard's level to make the fight less tedious, but I overdid it and a Battle Frenzied party of 5 nearly killed him before he got a turn.)

I never went through with the bad end, but I found these text files in the game folder, if you're curious what happens:

 

106 = "Redbeard says, _Your survival comes at a price. There is a debt that needs to be paid for your defiance of me._";

110 = "Sevilin, your once-loyal companion, is taken away to be executed. He looks at you one final time and says, _My people learn from birth of the sacredness of the law. I will submit to it now, and with dignity._ He is taken away.";

111 = "Shima Threespear, brave warrior of Holklanda, is taken away to be executed. Before he is dragged off, he says, _It was an honor to fight by your side. In the end, my sacred duties compelled me. I have no regrets._ He is taken away.";

112 = "Jenell, shaman of the Wyldrylm, is taken away to be executed. Before she leaves, she bows her head. _I have no apologies for anything. I fought for what is best for my people. I have but one request. I want to die in the garden, near nature._ Her wish is granted.";

113 = "Nathalie, young and ambitious sorceress of the Kellem, is taken away to be executed. In her final hour, she looks terribly young. She tries to speak, but can only choke back a sob. When she faints, the guards carry her away and carry out the sentence with merciful speed.";

114 = "Since none of your companions joined you in your final, futile battle, none of them are subjected to a final, gruesome punishment. You can at least feel pleased about that."
