It very, very heavily depends on the game and the story. And what people call multiple endings. And how much illusion of choice was involved.
Some of those games that boast multiple endings do not really have multiple endings at all. They have not alternative endings, they have different kinds of fail states or consolation endings and a true ending. Hah. Some games even spell out how the ending is called, like the good ending, the bad ending, the true ending and so on. Or they call what happened to side characters a "different" ending. Nah. That is not a different ending, that is details of the ending. It would be elegant to import from the previous game, for continuation. But the actual ending would be, the hero defeated the villain, did he not? How would you multiply that? The hero did not win? That is usually called game over and people load a save game and try again.
