Bad end's in this game are info dumps, I have a save for almost every bad end in this game. I go back rewatch them and whenever we get something new related to those bad ends.Hah! Landed on another bad end: 'Too strong too soon'
So you can't be too weak, and you can't be too strong... hilarious!
You know what, this game would have been so much better if instead of slamming the player into some bad end, the choices simply shifted the players closer to one of the endings. I'd enjoy that much more.
And more importantly, this way you wouldn't be prevented from progressing through the game every time you do something the game considers the 'wrong' move.
