It's pretty much picking your poison between cold and calculating with a dash of slavery or impulsive with wanton pillaging and plundering and extra candied nuts but hold the slavery.

I got the Pim ending where the Principi become a transit company by siding with the Huana and killing both Furrante and Aeldys. I spared Benweth so that Aeldys was imprisoned in Dunnage, killed Furrante and his captains when he asked me to interrogate Aeldys and then set her free. I then manually attacked her (which also turned Mad Morena hostile, but not Pim) and killed the two of them, leaving only Pim alive who was still neutral. This ended the Principi questline for me, but since I was siding with the Huana it all worked out. According to https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Pillars_of_Eternity_II:_Deadfire_endings it looks like that's only a possibility with the Huana claiming Ukaizo.

I think resolving certain faction quests in the favor of one faction or the other, or quests that strengthen/weaken a faction impact this. For instance, I was doing a Aeldys-led Principi ending to try and get one of the worst possible endings for everyone (that didn't involve destroying the world) and had the Royal Deadfire Company as my rival after destroying the adra on Poko Kohara (the only other quest done was the watershaper's guild quest for the queen and I released the dragon). I did the Sakuya quests for the RDC and no VTC quests (also did the slaver quest which pissed Atsura off). If I didn't do the Poko Kohara quest, then the VTC became my rival (which prevented me from getting an ending slide for Pallegina), but it went back to RDC as my rival after I redid Poko Kohara and destroyed the adra.

Of course it amounted to something. Her crown is fixed now so she doesn't have to buy a new one. If it took fifteen years of children's souls to fix it, can you imagine how much it would cost for a new one?

Eh, nevermind. I seem to have got it by going with Aeldys and convincing Maia to stay with me.

So I've seen there's a slide where Maia quits the navy, but I must be missing something as I don't see how this option occurs after trying different conversation options with her side quest and doubts about the RDC's actions plus I also refused the final RDC mission to kill the queen and Maia helped me slaughter everyone there, but I still get an ending slide where she's pleased with the RDC's actions (Probably because they let her kill everyone there). Might someone point me in the direction of how to get this outcome if you know how? Thanks!

I got a curse from Berath that required me to kill people to break it. Joke's on her, I'm using my super evil murderhobo playthrough!

Cake is a lie, you know?. It isn't. It's just not for you. I don't know, considering what Hylea does if you betray her I'm hesitant to accept a cake from her. I've seen The Help. This won't end well.

I remember that after killing my crew when they staged a mutiny I could still sail around on my ship of the damned, but I couldn't do any fights. It only gave me surrender terms and when I refused them it was a game over.

Interesting, I didn't get that blurb about Woedica (instead I got something about sacrificing a companion to the blood pool). Did you sacrifice a companion as part of your history?

I've completed PoE2 with empowering Woedica and there is no acknowledgement of your actions in any interaction with Skaen or Woedica. I'm feeling a bit played by Skaen at this point, to be honest.
