I've gotten two different endings for Markus (1 & 3( but neither one of them seemed very happy. I'm baffled. Usually the first ending is the "good" one, but seems like not in this case?
Also, agreeing on the faction stuff being buggy. I supported the Gols the whole way, worked for Andrei, accrued positive standing, said he was going to win the war, and for some reason, Randal turned up in my endgame and stomped the opposition, despite my standing with the Mavvar being much lower than it was with the Gols. Plus, there was a weird bug where they said something about a confrontation between Lazarus and Andrei, even though L was already dead by that point.
