“Being that we are Bethesda, everything gets a bit big. So as of last week, we’re over 200 endings. That is not an exaggeration, but it deserves some descriptions”

In a meeting on the Official Xbox Magazine podcast, Todd Howard goes into some details on the 200+ unique endings in fallout 3, and how they came up with that number from the initial 12 they had a little over a year ago.

It seems that every detail about how you play the game will shape your ending. It seems great in concept but I have to wonder in the amount of variance in the endings? Are there 200 endings worth of story line? I am excited because I love Bethesda, I have been a fan since Morrowind, and I love fallout, but I am thinking that toting this 200 number is more of a PR stunt that something that tangibly or emotionally worthwhile. I know that I would never play through 200+ endings, hell I probably wouldn’t sit through a you tube marathon of all the endings.

What do you guys think, Was this an odd PR stunt? Or was it something more?
