ECEC - Ending Choice, Ending Consequence (mini-mod, obvious spoilers)

Hi there!

 

I made this mod because I was fairly unsatisfied with the secret scene for completing the Pokedex.

 

Mod description: This mod changes the 100% Pokedex completion scene behind the door in the Citrae Astrae to better respect player agency in cases where Lin was not saved. If you're curious about the exact change and exactly why I made it, open the spoiler below.

 

Spoiler

On the Anna Smiles or Abandon Lin rotues, Lin is no longer promptly rescued by Arceus appearing out of nowhere. Instead, her fate is left ambiguous. In the original version of the scene, the player's choices regarding Lin's fate is essentially meaningless. Because Lin reacts to the route you picked, it's either a time loop or a second Arceus for her to gain godhood through. This means that the only way for the player to stop the game's main villain is to redeem her. Although the game railroads the player plenty of times before the postgame confrontation, I feel that that juncture, at least, should be a point of actual agency for the player, not just the people around them.

 

Installation: Copy the attached file into the game's Data folder. It should be compatible with any other mod that does not edit the same file.
