Thanks for clarifying, got it. Yeah BG3 isn’t branched, at all. That kind of game script is a lot rarer, for obvious reasons. It’s a shame, those kinds of choices always end up feeling more substantial than whose company you keep, how you kill people, or who you have sex with.
Yes, agreed. It’s perfectly understandable why we’re not really getting games like Witcher 2 or to a certain extent Dragon Age: Origins with any kind of regularity. Any executive signing off on the budget for a truly branching storyline game would need to be absolutely unhinged. I hope some of the now-larger independent studios might give us something like that in the future, but otherwise it seems to be relegated to the genre of cinematic choices-matter games like Until Dawn and what have you.
