I definitely see where you're coming from. Multiple endings, to me, work a lot better when all endings are equally satisfying, i.e. it's not a matter of one good ending and a bunch of mediocre endings. The latter (in my mind, anyway) tends to make one worry about making the right choices, whereas the former gives more room for just playing and experimenting.

Of course, it's harder to write multiple good endings than it is to just write one good ending...
