Shattered Space Ending Choices Guide

Which House Should Lead? Serpent's Crusade

Which House Should Lead?

Choice Outcome
House Veth'aal should lead ・Malibir Dul'kehf will say, "Then so it shall be."
・All of the House leaders will be in agreement.
・You will unlock the Vacant House.
I choose House Dul'khef
House Ka'dic should run things
I don't think any of you are fit to lead... ・Malibor Dul'kehf will say that your heresy must be a result of a concussion during your escape.
・ If you tell him that you meant what you said, you will be labeled as an enemy of Dazra.
  ・ You will be attacked on sight any time you land on Dazra.
・ You won't unlock the Vacant House.
・ Additionally, Andreja will also be angry with you even if she wasn't your active companion when the choice was made.
・If you tell him you did not mean what you said, you will be forced to choose between a House.
I name myself as speaker. ・Malibor Dul'kehf will reject your answer and you will be forced to make a different choice.
That's not a decision I can make.

The first ending choice during The Scaled Citadel is to choose which House should lead. The choice between which House determines part of the ending of Shattered Space, but there's no observable differences between the outcomes, except if you choose to say that none of them are fit to lead. The whole city of Dazra will be hostile to you. You also lose out on having a house in Dazra.

Which House Should You Choose?

Starfield Your Choices Do Not Matter

Picking any of the three houses will have the same outcome. You will not recieve anything special for choosing a particular House. You can choose whichever House your character deems worthy of leading.

Alternatively, if all the Quests have convinced you that none of them are fit to lead, you could even go with that as an option.

Serpent's Crusade

Choice Outcome
Start the Serpent's Crusade ・Malibir Dul'kehf will say that they will notify the House Elders and begin preparations.
Sarah Morgan, Sam Coe, and Barrett will be angry with you (even if they're not currently present when you make the choice).
・ You still obtain the Vacant House.
...I'm against the Crusade ・Lovek Veth'aal will say, "So be it."
・ You still obtain the Vacant House.

The Serpent's Crusade choice only occurs if you choose between one of the 3 Houses to lead. It does not occur if you tell them that none of them are fit to lead.

Should You Start the Serpent's Crusade?

Your Choice Does Not Matter

Starfield Serpent

Similar to the choice you make for which House should lead, your choice here determines Shattered Space's ending in your playthrough. However, there are also no observable effects on the Settled Systems if you chose to start the Serpent's Crusade.

You can choose whichever choice is more attuned to the character you have built up.
