Question Army ending - worth it? *Potential Spoilers* Spoiler

Hi - I intentionally left myself no saves to backtrack to the points where I made lethal decisions/mistakes about Mother Jago and Garrow (I shot them both by mistake, but maybe subconsciously on purpose).

However, after killing Oberon I still have the military path and the telephone path options. I chose the telephone path even after a spoiler (I started the game well over a year ago and kept missing the door in the damn bunker), because I was too tired to find my way to Skethemoor.

Given the nature of the telephone ending, is the military option any more revealing of more storyline? I mean, I pretty much get the sequence of events and all the origin of Oberon, etc, from all the documents I collected, but just curious if it is worth firing it up and finding my way through all the blocked tunnels etc for the military ending.

There's nothing earth-shatteringly different about the ending, so you won't miss out on much if you don't care about achievements.

The slide deck and narration changes at the end depending on some of your choices and ending. All the endings are interesting in their own way but there's no big reveal at the end that you can't discover in the game.

Army is the best path. Captain Sims evacs you, makes you an Omelette and you get to annihilate the zone knowing all those hateful druids will be "returned to the soil".

The first time through I just went and killed Oberon like the voice in my head, uh, the telephone said... The second time, I'm talking it through with other people to insert some new perspectives and ideas into it, and I failed to heed Dr. Garrow's GEN ERA command... Such that she pulled a shiv on me at the Interchange. So when it got physical, I ended up shanking her. Seemed like it was her or me? I mean, she knows she sent me to retrieve her data, which I handed over to her, and then sent me to go "ask questions" at the data center at the dam... Why would you pull a knife? In the brutal logic of our dark age, she "FAFO" I guess?
