True; I was forgetting that you can save before triggering the endings. You don't have to replay from square one all the way through. Still, the harder ending (I think they called it the "fear the reaper" one?) was the best I think. The saddest is the one on the space station, that one was oh my god, gut-wrenching! But I also liked the one with the Nomads :)
That's not the hidden one that one is given to you on a plate.
The hidden one is different: that's the one where you have to wait for a dialog option to appear and has a prerequisite that is a little harder to get then the prerequisite for "the star".
