I'd rather the choices you make in games alter the game state or game field rather than just the ending.

>Game gives you 3 or 4 different dialogue options

The amount this is actually done infuriates me.

Nigga they dont affect anything BUT the ending.

Fucking Bioshock Infinite...
Every time the twins had some choice, I thought it mattered and I'd have to play through again to see how the game would change.

>Get asked by a character your stance on religion in a sci-fi game
>Know it won't affect anything at all ever besides the direction the current conversation goes
>Get the freedom to think about exactly what it means to believe in god in a space-faring society and work out how in-character that would be.

>Game barely has any RPG elements
>Get the option to kill a guy even after he's defenseless while you're 100 metres underground and nobody but the black creepy guy will notice it.
>The entire choice is just character building.

When will RPG-plebs realise that "choices that don't matter" > "choices that do matter" (in games where you get to fully make your own character and don't just take control of one that already exists).

You have a lot of choices in life but in the end it doesn't even matter and you just die

Holy shit, which Ultima is that?

>game has choices that affect the story in ways you couldn't have possibly seen coming and intentionally puts bait choices in to have poor consequences further down the line

>>387305854
It's okay choices' not matter.

But I hate it when developers still contuining to telling that lie.

Member when Swtor was in development and BioWare was all like "Every choice matters and has an consequence. Every choice." then the game came out and nothing mattered at all.

Fuck that game, fuck James Olhen and fuck BioWare. I'm still legit mad.

Soma comes to mind. My only complaint besides somewhat underwhelming game play.
