Interesting view...but I think a bad ending wouldn't work just due to there is no one to help with their agenda.
Goblins are dumb as bricks they are only threat when they have a number advantage or have a big boy with them.
Aboms don't show any sentient behavior more like mold growth (except for you know who)
I can only see a bad ending when you get an abom lona and that opens a series of quests.
True. Goblins in this game are very similar to the ones in Goblin Slayer anime - be it their looks, behaviour, intelligence etc, so not much going for them in terms of any possible extended cooperation with humans.
Abominations remind me of your traditional hive mind. But they have that *child* who caused Sybaris fall and appears to be their leader of sorts, so maybe he is sentient and can be reasoned/cooperated to some extent.
But for a bad ending where you cause Noer destruction, I had something in mind along the lines of: you delve deeper into ruins of Sybaris (part of the game more developed now) where you finally confront the cause of your troubles ie. that *child*. You kill it in some hive and get your revenge and justice (justfull retribution) for your family and friends.
After which you are presented with the choices of either: 1. Finish the abominations for good via destroying their hive core or something similar thus preventing them from regenerating or 2. After getting your revenge (and remembering what kind of place Noer and its people are) just leave and let abominations recover. If Noer wants to live let they (not probable) save themselves or be (most likely) destroyed.
Oof ouch the edge. The reality of the setting is a nightmarish dystopian, where the island is nothing but a playground for the gods. Good and innocent people exist, like Cocona and Cecily. Eccma just has a hard-on for scumbags with power and violently sadistic races.
Also true. But, the thing is Noer island is part of some greater kingdom and Noer town still stands. What is happening there is *only* isolated incident. They still are in contact with wider world and can get help from their kingdom. There is no reason for Noer population to be such a scums to the folk escaping Sybaris. Sure, setting is dystopian and those in power are gonna most likely try to get something out of the situation. But from the game I get the feeling like 90%+ of Noer population are nothing but shitheads from the moment they are born. Such place does not deserve any pity or compassion. One should save such things for those who truly deserve them.
