Shattered Space Ending Choice and Best Ending Guide
At this point of the quest, you will have to choose which House should lead Va'ruun: Veth'aal, Dul'kehf, or Ka'dic. All dialogue outcomes are the same no matter which house you choose. Additionally, you unlock the Vacant House.
Trying to name yourself as speaker and/or telling them that it is not your decision to make will both be rejected.
If you tell them that none of them are fit to lead and tell them that you mean it, you will be accused of heresy and suffer a few negative consequences: you won't unlock the Vacant House any more, you'll be attacked on sight every time you enter Dazra City, and Andreja will be angry with you.
After choosing which House should lead, you will have to make another choice: You can choose to start or not start the Serpent's Crusade.
Whether you choose to start the crusade or not, they will all agree yet nothing observable will happen in the Settled Systems. However, if you choose to start the Crusade, Sarah Morgan, Sam Coe, and Barrett will all be angry with you.
| Rewards | ・ EXP: 350 ・ Credits: Leveled Amount of Credits ・Dazra Vacant House (if you chose a House to lead) |
