So many Dispatch players are accidentally getting the game’s worst ending that AdHoc has had to confirm that it’s not glitched and there’s more to it than just picking the right dialogue options.
Earlier this week, Dispatch released the final two episodes of the game’s first season, wrapping up the story that’s been being built up to over the past month and a bit. Surprisingly, Dispatch has some wildly different endings depending on the choices you make, but there’s one outcome that stings much more than the rest.
Spoiler warning for one of Dispatch’s endings to follow.
The worst ending in Dispatch sees Robert failing Invisigal as a mentor and her “embracing villainy” instead of sticking around as a hero. You might think that’s an easy outcome to avoid if you’re just supportive of her, but that’s not entirely the case. In fact, so many Dispatch players are ending up with the bad ending that AdHoc has reminded us all that there’s much more to consider.
If You Want Dispatch’s Good Ending, You’ll Need To Pay Attention To Shifts
Invisigal’s Fate Is Shaped By Your Dispatching Skills
Over on the Dispatch subreddit, players have spent the last few days in shock after somehow getting the worst ending even after being kind to Invisigal. The general assumption has been that the ending is bugged but, as proved by a post from Redditor Head-Astronaut5836, that isn’t the case at all.
A developer on Dispatch going by the name POLLY on the game’s official Discord replied to a comment about the bad ending being bugged and confirmed that’s not the case. According to them, succeeding or failing as Invisigal’s mentor isn’t just tied to “the choices you make as Robert”, as it’s also influenced by the dispatching shifts.
POLLY didn’t reveal exactly what needs to be done to succeed as Invisigal’s mentor, but they did suggest that players who keep getting the bad ending should replay the dispatching shifts to try and change things. From the sounds of it, you need to regularly dispatch Invisigal and level her up to make sure that she ends up following the path of good instead of taking Shroud’s mask at the end.
It’s not clear how levelled Invisigal needs to be to get the good ending, but if you do want to make sure she doesn’t end up as a villain, it sounds like you’ll need to put the time and effort into levelling her up. While that might sound like a lot of work, it’s worth it for what I’d say is the game’s best outcome.
