What's So Difficult About Alternate Endings?

From choosing who lives and who dies, the fate of the world, to simply what colour a big pretty ending explosion is - alternate endings are one of the great videogaming ideas... So why are they so often kind of rubbish? The Architect has scouted multiple timelines, delved into the farthest reaches of the universe and poked around in the still-smoking craters left by controversial videogames to figure out the answer - games with multiple endings are great, but not for the reasons we think... and it's this misconception that's dragging down a whole load of otherwise great games.
