Alternate ending to universal truth (spoilers)
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.

 :eek2:

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

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.
"A weapon is only as powerful as its wielder. With this weapon, you'll be but an annoyance, which would greatly dishonor it. With this weapon, I can change history. With me, this weapon can shape the universe."

Re: Alternate ending to universal truth (spoilers)
 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 :lol: 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. :D
 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.
