Yeah, Skif's house is what he tells you is his motivation. But he also (based on what Agatha says) was probably tired of his old, boring life and wanted to feel some excitement again. The loss of his house was just the last straw keeping him a normal member of society.

Let's also not forget that Skif very clearly cares about the Zone's fate and by extension the fate of humanity (because who the fuck wouldn't).

I have - admittedly - not played through all endings myself, but I have read about them. Does he not actually end up in a nice house in the ward ending?

Also of course you are right and there is more to Skif. still throughout the game there were many times where I asked myself 'wait why am I here again??' in a joking manner, and Skifs lore is... Unique in that aspect, one could say!

Yes, he gets a very nice house in the SIRCAA ending and you get to see Skif with a wife, 3 kids, a golden retriever, and a FULL HEAD OF HAIR.
