Aside from minor changes in three lines of text in the ending (if the geneforge is destroyed), there seems to be little difference in cannister use on the ending.
For reference, here are the texts:
Good end version 1:
"As for you, you begin your apprenticeship at last. Organized training, combined with the raw power you gained on Sucia Island, make you a Shaper of renowned and incredible skill. Several major new colonies are established under your guidance."
"You are respected, but you are also feared. The Shapers never truly and completely trust you. They are afraid of the effects of Sucia Island on you. The taint of the Barred land never truly leaves you."
"You become powerful and influential and wealthy and even, one day, you are the first Shaper to visit the lands of the Sholai. But the highest levels of Shaper society are always closed to you. Wherever you go, there are worried looks and whispers."
"You have a good life, a productive life. But you always wonder what might have been."
Good end version 2:
"As for you, you begin your apprenticeship at last. Organized training, combined with the raw power you gained on Sucia Island, make you a Shaper of renowned and incredible skill. Several major new colonies are established under your guidance."
"You are respected, but you are also feared. At first, the Shapers can't truly and completely trust you. They are afraid of the effects of Sucia Island on you."
"You become powerful and influential and wealthy and even, one day, you are the first Shaper to visit the lands of the Sholai. As time passes, your fellow Shapers realize that you were not permanently tainted by the forbidden research of Sucia Island."
"You have a good, full, productive life, hailed by your people as a great leader and teacher."
Since I know how Jeff Vogel codes his save files, I will save just before the good end and adjust the cannister use SDF byte and see what the threshold is exactly, assuming I am correct in my assumption that the difference above is due solely to cannister use.
Is there a way to undo the effects of the cannisters?
