Final Mission Poll
Added 2021-02-13 19:56:56 +0000 UTCHey all, have a quick poll for you this month! The Climax Mission in the latest release represents the game's point of no return, as once you openly start trying to conquer the station it's a little hard to put that genie back in the bottle. However, currently you can Abandon the mission and try it again, without consequences. I have considered having that lead to a Bad End, but am a bit torn for the following reasons:
- Can abandon - doesn't make as much sense storywise, logically you should be all-in at least once you pass the first encounter.
- Can't abandon - doesn't add much to the game other than a short Bad End scene, mostly just causes annoyance as players have to go back to their last save. A bit more annoyance if that save is fairly old.
So, what do you think? Extra Bad End scene, or no? This poll will run til the 24th, happy voting!

maybe you could do it kinda like corruption of champions did it? i remember they had a warning like "once you enter this dungeon you won't be able to save, so if you're not confident that you can make it i'd advise you to either save before entering or return later" or something like that. maybe you could also do something similar for that mission like "once you start this mission there will be no going back. it is advised to save your game before starting the mission." if this is too immersion breaking for you, you could also do something like "you take some time to consider... you have a feeling that once you agree to doing this, there will be no turning back..." or something similar. keeps the story intact and saves people from frustration at the same time.
