Choose the ending from the items the player carries, with a near miss for the epilogue

Several endings may each be unlocked by a set of objects, and the player can satisfy more than one at once. Which wins? This entry settles that order, lets an item forbid an ending, always has a fallback, and tells the epilogue which ending the player was one object away from.

Why this works

When several endings fit, the most specific one tells the truest story about what the player did, and a plain ending should never hide a special one. Deciding once, at the start of the finale, keeps the result tied to the whole journey and not to last-minute shuffling.

When not to use it

Skip it when the ending should come from a clear, visible choice, such as picking a door, so the player knows what they chose. Hidden carrying rules can feel arbitrary there; let the player decide it openly.
