History Main / ModularEpilogue

** The [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral fourth game]] was even more in-depth about this. The epilogue is made up of a series of scenes, one for each major kingdom, each showing who ends up suceeding it and who helps with the restoration. This depends on who married who in ''both'' generations of the game (and, in some cases, whether certain [=NPCs=] are alive or not), meaning there's a ''massive'' number of possible variations.
** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Three Houses]]'' also have different epilogues for characters depending on who they married (''if'' they married) and in the case of the latter two which [[StoryBranching branch]] the Avatar chooses in the beginning. In ''Fates'''s case it was basically cut and paste sentences, which could lead to some...contradictory endings. [[note]]For example, Camilla's endings involve her giving up her royal title...which makes little sense if she marries Ryoma or the Avatar in the ''Revelations'' route, as they're both kings by the end of the game.[[/note]]

** The endings of ''VideoGame/{{Fallout|1}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'' are a series of short epilogues detailing the future of the different settlements the player visited, with multiple endings highlighting the player's actions and their moral implications.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'''s ending consists of three different consecutive scenes determined, respectively, by whether [[spoiler:you sacrificed yourself or chickened out and chose an ally instead]], whether you were good, neutral, or evil on the KarmaMeter, and whether [[spoiler:you infected the Wasteland's water supply]]. The epilogue DLC ''Broken Steel'' is also affected by the player's ending choices: [[spoiler:if you sent Lyons into the control room, she will be dead (as opposed to comatose if you or a radiation-proof follower activated it), and if you infected the purifier with the Modified FEV, consuming Aqua Pura will be fatal to the player and the clinics will have many dying patients]].

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' has the final battle on [[spoiler:Earth]] unfold for better or worse based on your Effective Military Strength, and lets you see your recruited forces in action and speak with many old companions. Of course, [[EndingAversion none of that happens in the last five minutes]], hence the Extended Cut DLC adding a true epilogue that reiterates everything shown during the last mission.

* At the end of the 18-in-game-year cycle of ''VideoGame/GrowingUp'', [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue an epilogue will reveal what happened to your classmates after your high school graduation]] based on the choices you made in their story paths. Your career will also be determined based on what kind of skills you learned and mastered along with your grade in the [=SATs=]. You will also marry one of your classmates if you reached their path's good ending by romancing them, or a generic NPC of either gender you choose or determine at random if you didn't.

* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': The narrated epilogue describes the overall fate of the world, determined by [[MultipleEndings your choices after the final battle]], followed by the future of the various nations, in-game regions, and specific [=NPCs=], based on who the PlayerCharacter and their companions are and the way they resolved certain quests.

* The ending in ''VideoGame/PanelDePon'' (and DolledUpInstallment ''Tetris Attack'') skips over dialogue assigned to any character [[FinalDeath who didn't make it this far]].

* ''VideoGame/Wasteland'''s original ending was just a short cutscene and some ending narration. The 2020 remake, ''Wasteland: Remastered'', adds a modular ending in the style of ''Fallout'' or ''Wasteland 2'' detailing the fates of the various communities you encountered, depending on your actions, and tying into ''Wasteland 2''.

* ''VideoGame/YesYourGrace'': Each character whose survival is essential to get the GoldenEnding has at least two different individual endings, including the one that should be avoided. Aside from [[spoiler:Aurealea and Cedani]] in some cases, the fates of the characters are independent from each other, resulting in a possible mix and match.

** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Three Houses]]'' also have different epilogues for characters depending on who they married (''if'' they married) and in the case of the latter two which [[StoryBranching branch]] the Avatar chooses in the beginning. In ''Fates'''s case it was basically cut and paste sentences, which could lead to some...contradictory endings. [[note]]For example, Camilla's endings involve her giving up her royal title...which makes little sense if she marries Ryoma or a Revelations route Avatar, as they're both kings by the end of the game.[[/note]]

** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Three Houses]]'' also have different epilogues for characters depending on who they married (''if'' they married) and in the case of ''Three Houses'' which [[StoryBranching branch]] Byleth chooses in the beginning. In ''Fates'''s case it was basically cut and paste sentences, which could lead to some...contradictory endings. [[note]]For example, Camilla's endings involve her giving up her royal title...which makes little sense if she marries Ryoma or a Revelations route Avatar, as they're both kings by the end of the game.[[/note]]

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', if certain character pairs max out their RelationshipValues via Supports, the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue describes their shared (often romantic) relationship instead of giving them individual endings. Many of these are mutually exclusive, since each character can only get the full A Support with one other character. For example, Eliwood gets one of four endings depending on which (if any) of his love interests he gets an A Support with. The previous installment, ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'', has the same system, but the only alternate, paired endings are ones with Roy.

* The ending of ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' gets filled in with shots of bosses and important characters behaving friendly and politely if Mickey helped them when he encountered them earlier (with the exception of [[spoiler:the Mad Doctor]]). All of these shots are accompanied with narration from the sorceror [[Disney/{{Fantasia}} Yen Sid]] that can be interchanged freely but still form a cohesive sentence about people's decisions and how they affect other people.

* In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword]]'', if certain character pairs max out their RelationshipValues via Supports, the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue describes their shared (often romantic) relationship instead of giving them individual endings. Many of these are mutually exclusive, since each character can only get the full A Support with one other character. For example, Eliwood gets one of four endings depending on which (if any) of his love interests he gets an A Support with. The previous installment, ''Sword of Seals'', has the same system, but the only alternate, paired endings are ones with MainCharacter Roy.

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': The base ending's epilogue of the game changes depending on who is alive.

* Some of the eight possible endings of ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2'' are merely different vignettes stitched together during the ending credits. [[spoiler:Saving Alex Mason really only affects the Woods & Section reunion, for instance.]]

* During the Normal ending of ''VideoGame/CaveStory'', there's a montage of various places on the island [[spoiler:just before it crashes]], e.g. Curly Brace's body is shown if you failed to save her. Both the Normal and the Best ending feature a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue over the end credits, with slight changes between them, such as Professor Booster appearing if you saved him, and Pooh Black taking Balrog's place if the latter leaves with you.
