actually if you played the rogue/thief, and spent your points right, you
could still play all 3 endings (for qfg 1 & 2), depending on how you
progress, and almost all the options where opened up to you.
I never ended up finishing the 3rd one, and the 4th one just looked bad.
It would be great if they remade them all for winxp, and redid all the
gfx, not 3d, just newer better ...
