SE: Canon Replay Prev Choices
Quick find code: 341-342-914-65986587
So the reason we offered a second canon playthrough was because there were a few technical issues in some of the earliest playthroughs. Whilst we fixed these issues, we couldn't change it retroactively for those who suffered through them, so the only solution available to us was to create a second canon.
It should be clear that making a second canon playthrough was NOT a small job and created many potential dangers which we had to carefully investigate. This took a lot of time.
This was for a quest that had been built from the start to be replayed and Endgame uses certain techniques we wouldn't use in other quests (effective time limits, the ability for the player to "fail" and still complete the quest). Also all choices in Endgame are deliberately morally grey in the grand scheme of things (there are no right or wrong choices).
So Endgame is an exception to the rule, not the proof.
Choices should mean something, which means that they need consequence. Changing them on the fly AFTER you have seen the outcome means that they have no consequence (and potentially create more issues).
With Endgame, we're planning to lock your canon as soon as you start the next quest. Meaning you cannot use that information to "get the best outcome" and will need to see how your choices play out. So I recommend playing your second canon now, if you intend to.
There is no "right" outcome. All choices have consequences, some more obvious than others.
So in short, no, once you've made your choices you will need to live with them.
