While the writer wasn’t obviously talking about so many different endings, it is still an impressive number of variations, highlighting how much the choices players will make will have an impact on the story up to the very end.
So, are we talking something like the equipment on the player during the ending cutscene? Without more details I don’t see how this figure is supposed to be impressive.

Probably just some quests that get a “what happened to them”-scene in the ending.
Like Quest 1 can have outcome A/B/C and Quest 2 has A/B
And you already got AA, AB, BA, BB, CA, CB variations, add some more quests and you got 17k outcomes easily.
What matters though is how many major endings there are.
