I actually really liked the ending. I got that sinking feeling of disappointment too, but not because the ending is cheap/bad. Alone in the wilderness we fell for Ned's rather ridiculous plot, the paranoia of solitude making us jump to unlikely conclusions. We also built up an expectation to meet Delilah, and after all that time and the bond we built, she just left. The game started with a tragic human story, then we let our imagination run wild, and at the end it brought us back down to earth. I think it was brilliantly done.

Okay, so here is the ending basically explained. Ned's son died in a climbing accident. Him feeling that he would be accused of murdering his son, he stole the keys to the cave and began a survellience operation to make sure nobody found out. However, when he though Henry was spying on him, he did his best to cover it up, using a research station in Wapiti and making it appear like it was a government conspiracy against them. However, when he set fire to the station, the fire burnt out of control, so he decided to make the two leave, by framing them for starting the fire. When Henry began investigating, Ned basically cracked and told him the whole story, before moving. The reason we never got to see Delilah was because the developers were trying to save a message. Life is often not what you expected; we expected a big government conspiracy, and we expected to see Delilah.

There's no contradiction here. She isn't saying that the fire can't be named after her. She's saying that you can't name the fire by her OFFICIAL name that her superiors know about, that is in the public eye (apparently, there is some law that the story doesn't specify). And her second name, it turns out, she hasn't informed anyone, so the law isn't broken in this case, with Henry being satisfied.

Jack, the reason why Ned was following Henry is because Henry discovered the cave very early and tried to break in to it. He probably didn't want Henry to discover what's inside that's why he was listening to Delilah and Henry talk all the time because if they do discover what's inside he'll have a backup plan and pack things up, just like in the ending.

That's why the ending of Firewatch is amazing in my opinion. People were expecting some grand finale, and that everything was going to be revealed. But in the end, it was just nothing, something really boring. But people forget why Henry and Delilah are here. To run away from there problems, and this job, to them, was a temporary solution to there problems. This game is really beautiful and amazing and that's why people come here to escape there problems, and the game introduces all these crazy theorys and ideas to allow the player's imagination to run wild, but then reality and real life just hits you like a truck, and that's how real life is. TL:DR: The game was trying to simulate all these amazing adventures and mysteries, and Henry's fun journey, but the ending was just the opposite. Reality. Real Life. All the problems Henry was trying to escape from, came back like a truck in the form of reality.

"Thats why I am not clicking on everything to talk about because it is inconsequential". That is the whole point of the story. It is about the bond between Henry and Delaila. Its is about lose, grief, adiction (manly Alcohol and drowning your problems, for Henry and Delila) and coping with these things. There is so real danger or mistery out there. The Wapity Station was only a science experiment. There was no huge plot gainst Henry and Delila, it is only a sad lonley man who cant live with the loss of his child. And Henry has to except his situation aswell. It is not a jawdropping plottwist and thats the way it is suposed to be. It leaves you in silence just like Henry who realises he ran away from his problems for to long and has to face them one way or another becuase people who dont do it end up like Ned.

[@NeroCM]

I think the game is less about a story in itself, and more about life. Like saying that there will always be coincidences, always be mysteries, and that explanations are often simple and disappointing. Sometimes, things are not as exciting as you wish. Sometimes, there's no conspiracy, only a dead kid in a cave and a firewatch that will forever feel guilty for not reporting a father who brought his kid with him to the lookout. And remember that this is not the story of you looking out for fires, this is the story of Henry escaping from his wife's dementia. If you think about it, Ned did exactly what Henry is doing. Instead of confronting his son's death, he ran away, hiding it in a cave.

[@shadowstrike593]

[@kerryperichicken6244]

I disagree. I feel as though the devs should've made all of what you said much clearer as the point of the game, if it was the point. To have an intention is one thing, but perhaps if the majority of players didn't understand what the message of the ending was, that's a problem. SPOILERS: I didn't dislike the ending out of its simplicity, or merely because it was based out of a series of coincidences. If anyone found a tent ransacked, phone line cut, their cabin broken into and that someone was listening in on their calls, of course they would freak out. Who wouldn't? The explanation wasn't 'innocent' or 'simple'; there was foul play at work, Ned was deliberately trying to scare you off. I feel I didn't like the ending for a couple of reasons: 1. The explanation revolves around Ned and Brian, two people whom I had little interest in beforehand. 2. The revelation is handed to you on a silver platter, literally explained for you, and you can't do anything to change the future. You can't catch Ned; in fact, nothing has really changed, except that now you know what happened. If the explanation had been, for instance, that a serial killer had been lurking in the forest, at least there may be further stakes (after the explanation) of you having to still escape the killer, possibly. I'm not saying that a serial killer explanation would've necessarily been better, but there would be potential for being able to change things and have an impact after the revelation. I didn't mind not seeing Delilah, but regarding your suggestion on the meaning of the ending being that there will always be mysteries and disappointing explanations, I also disagree personally. I don't think that this idea of mysteries always having disappointing endings is linked much to the actual characters, or their backstories. For instance, how is Julia's story relevant to 'mysteries are often disappointing'? I see the connection between Henry and Ned both fleeing from things, but I don't think that Julia's story is a 'mystery' with a 'disappointing explanation' in the same way that Ned's is. Explanations of the ending have often tried to say that the game isn't really about the mystery, which I also disagree with. It makes up just about all of what you do in the forest, and the majority of what you talk about with D is the mystery. More personal small talk often felt sidelined to me.

[@NeroCM]

@@kerryperichicken6244 I think you're still just trying to find more in it than there actually is. You still feel cheated. you still have this opinion of "Why didn't what I did matter more?" You're confronted with your own insignificance relatively to the events and are disappointed. Again, this is life. Sometimes a dead kid in a cave is just a dead kid in a cave. There is no serial killer, there is no real mystery, there's no true reason. It just happened, and you can't do anything about it and it sucks and you're sad and frustrated because then what was the point? Why did Henry's wife get dementia? In most games and movies, this would become the reason for everything. henry would go on some huge journey and find some deep realization or accomplish some huge accomplishment. But this is not most games and movies. This is a game about life. And in real life there is no reason for her condition. it just happened and Henry has to deal with it. How did Brian die? Why did Ned hide it? There are actual movies with something similar for a setting. But the truth is that there's no deeper meaning. Brian is dead, probably because his father pushed too hard. Ned hid the fact, maybe out of shame. The game isn't about the mystery. it never has been. It's you (you as in player, not you you) that wants for it to be about the mystery. Because you need a meaning behind it were in truth there is none. And to be honest, the fact that after all this time people still cannot accept it is proof of how well the game was made.

Sean, you'll literally never see this. I'm sitting here at 2am in 2022 typing this after revisiting this series for some reason. I have not smiled and felt this close to someone over the internet in a long time and I just wanted to really thank you for all the YEARS of happiness and laughter you have given me. I started watching your videos at the beginning of highschool and am now graduated for many years and started a career. I simply cannot convey through text the impact you have made on my life and truly hope you get everything you work for and deserve in this life

I was looking for this comment

[@Timotheuster]

In the middle of a forest, with people following you, and people going missing, in a dark scary cave that is locked up, and obviously a trap... Henry: "IS ANYBODY DOWN THERE?!?!" Henry has clearly never seen a horror movie.

[@the_official_djalanjs0588]

Will Ned was trying to lead Henry to the cave and Ned was giving him clues. Ned was trying to find the right person most likely and he did and he did gave Henry clues to find Ned's son.

[@DoubleADwarf]

Sean meanwhile, walks into the cave, hears the gate, which he left open, slam closed behind him, and _at no point whatsoever_ even considers going back to look. Just keeps walking into the cave. I love our silly b'y Sean, so I do, but _sure-jaysus_ he would not last a minute in a horror movie.

[@poseidonisme]

There is a well known tv show with a woman named Delilah and in a wheelchair that he might have seen.

[@shigeminotoge4514]

Well, in the beginning she did keep repeatedly asking him to do things in the area she could have done herself so that she didn't have to leave her tower. It would make sense if you just have to sit there and not leave all summer that you could have a special way in and out of the tower when the helicopter comes to drop you off/pick you up. Not sure if having no way out of on your own in case of emergencies would violate some sort of safety protocol, though. But once she said that SHE was the one who changed the combo lock the wheelchair theory kinda went out the window anyway 'cause we know she's able to leave/enter the place on her own.

I like the ending, it shows life is dark and we liked to make up all of these conspiracy and over compensate for the story we want but it’s accurate life. Life isn’t as complicated as we make it to be. It can be sad and it can be dark, but most importantly it can be disappointing and not what you expected. This game is true to life in a way where a grieving and isolated man only has one person to talk to while she herself is isolated, so they can try to make their lives more complicated, as if they’re part of something bigger, something big evolves around them. But they’re just normal people with normal lives that came across grief in their life.

Idk if you noticed but you never see a single face while playing the game, Brian's face was covered by rocks, the girls were too far away, Ned sneaked up behind Henry and the guy in the helicopter had a mask on. It really added to that feeling of solitude, you can easily get paranoid all alone. The ending wasn't some big "this is a whole military government who wanna spy on you". Plus Henry might've got the courage to actually deal with his problems and help his wife after seeing how Ned abandoned Brian and how that turned out.
