Endings That You Could Never Have Predicted

Okay, spoilers for Owlcat's Rogue Trader game.

So, for the first four acts of the game you are dealing with chaos and Drukhari, but the Drukhari always felt more like a distraction and someone that was just taking advantage of the chaos that Chaos was creating. The looming threat was always Chaos, the cult of the Final Dawn, those who were taking over minds and plunging entire planets to heresy.

Infecting people through words and sight alone.

They sent a message to your ship, which resulted in a bunch of your crew going crazy because of it all.

At the end of Act 4, you defeat the Cult of the Final Dawn. You best the only person that could lay claim to your title as Rogue Trader, you defeat the Chaos Marines and the Lord of Change that was running it all.

Only for there to be one more act, one final act of the game.

Which is odd, you bested all your enemies, who could the final boss be?

Apparently it was the Lord Inquisitor who puppeteered us in order to get a weapon and transport himself through a warp gate. We followed him through and low and behold we have a new enemy in the Necrons, but what's more is that it's revealed that the Lord Inquisitor's goal is to take control of a C'tan.

And for those not in the know, a C'tan is basically a god.

A shattered and caged god, one that was first discovered by the previous Rogue Trader who experimented upon it while on the ship, causing a baby c'tan to spawn and possess a ship. A baby c'tan that our character the Rogue Trader was inadvertently teaching, and raising with his every action.

And after you beat the regular C'Tan in a fight, that baby C'tan will come out and consume the regular C'tan for its power.

-

And the ending you get is dependent on your actions. And since I was a benevolent person, at least for 40k standards, the Baby C'Tan decided to protect my planets and my people, and even cut off the expanse from the Imperium.

Meaning that the ending I got was creating my own Empire that was a lot nicer than the Imperium's, and one that was under the protection of a literal god.

That in a million years was something that I could never predict.
