Retcon: If you have not tried staying behind in the hallucination in universal truth, dont read this.

i hit two at the end of universal truth on my second playthrough.

 

All I can really say is that was an incredible experience for me.  I mean holy ****.  Every detail to that was just right.  The horrible lack of realism of a dream, coupled with this suicidal lucidity.  The weapons that do almost nothing.  The chatter with the defending fighters.  The postprocessing.  When I was unable to pull out of that I just numbly kept shooting at the bombers until I lost the ability to move or shoot.  Then the transcendant dropped by.  Then the debrief.  I literally stared at my screen like in the smily above for at least five minutes just now.

Guys, I dunno whether that was really hard for you guys to make or really easy or an afterthought but I ultimately found that experience to be indescribably immersive in a way I have never experienced before.  Bravo, I suppose.  I'm still a little stunned.

Now that I'm done writing this I'll just attach a warning to the top and re-maximize the game.

Eh, there are many endings to UT, not just 2. BTW, can anyone tell me what happens if you

Spoiler:

use the jump node behind you when you reach Ken?

I was just referring to the second ending right at the end ending as opposed to the earlier endings which there are many of.

At least when I tried to use it,

Spoiler:

nothing. You just go through it

But that was near the end of the dialogues, when stuff started to fade. Perhaps I should've tried that earlier.

Also, whoever said

Spoiler:

entering the Dante's fighterbay after its conversation with the Great Preserver restores your sanity

is a big fat liar.

Spoiler:

The Dante's fighterbays

are all blocked.

 Funnily enough, I tried the same thing when I first played

Spoiler:

because the Dante's tubes were still in my mind as the way to escape. I spent like 10 mins trying to get in the Juggernaut Then I spotted the Nodes and headed to the Simms one...

 

Spoiler:

Also, I almost got caught by the Vishnans... I thought I was meant to go through the lights of what turned out to be the engines of a Ravana the game didn't render until I smacked into it and spent like 40 secs collision merged with.
 Most tense chase I've had on a game ever, I escaped with about 3 Secs from being found at the 1st checkpoint.

Watched the Transcendent ending, I expected madness to be way scarier than it ended up being, I can't believe my mind conjured up some extremely ****ed up things... only to get a bunch of fractals that have goat skull faces in them or something.
