SPOILERS FOR AFTER REACHING THE NOCTHEREUM GATE
I've reached the point where you have to either accept Kali Mars' offer or get shot. Having checked both routes to a small extent, accepting her offer seems to lead down a short 'epilogue' path, resulting in the demise of all your crew members (Sybil's fate especially, how horrific) while you become her right hand man and unlock a sex scene with her. It ends with you and Lym dying together, and then flashes you back to when you're faced with the choice, only this time the only option is to try and take her gun.
My intention since the beginning was to try and take the gun and fight her. My question is, was that path with her canonically some sort of 'illusion' or 'vision of the future' if you were to accept her offer? Since even if you accept, it doesn't result in a game over, but after showing you the end result of choosing that, it iinevitably takes you back to the choice, and now you can only proceed forward with trying to take the gun from her.
Basically this is my conundrum. I want to choose and go down the path I wish to go with, which is trying to take the gun. I'll go back to when there were 2 choices and choose to take the gun there itself, because that's what is true to my choices. However, if this whole accepting her offer path really is some kind of vision, like a glimpse of your demise, I'll accept her offer, see the whole 'vision' and then make the 'right choice' I originally wanted to do. To my headcannon it'd be like the MC considered accepting for a second and in that brief moment saw how it kills everyone dear to hjm, ans then snaps back to reality where something like a second had passed and you attempt to fight Kali.
Is this the effect Cryoxxx was going for? I'd prefer to have it like that in my playthrough's 'history/story' when looking back on how the whole journey progressed. If it's not canonically like this, I'll just ignore it and go with the right choice.
