So I did a 7/7/7/7 run with a modified save file and hoooo boy are there a lot of things I somehow missed on my previous 6 or whatever playthroughs. Yelling 'MONEY' at Joyce with a high enough physical instrument and having her yell back was a good one, as was throwing away the letter in the case file with a high enough shivers before reading it Also it occurs to me now that The Expression is the logical conclusion of the old mom's saying "If you don't stop making that face it will get stuck like that."

besides DE the highest bar for Choice Games is Alpha Protocol, get that and play it through a few times if you haven't yet. there's nothing else like it, and there may never be.

Blade Runner did ethical choice / multiple endings incredibly well, and I’m always confused as to why nobody else has figured out the simple combination of player agency + randomised starting conditions to generate a replayable game with interesting choices.

Also, either cheat the game to make combat fun, or just max pistols and martial arts because all other combat options are trash. Sure, maybe blowing up a door in the embassy and blasting away with a shotgun isn't the optimal choice but it should at least be feasible. There's a semi-secret hilarious ending difference based on how bad you are as a spy related to the CIA lifer NPC who's probably burned more assets then a forest fire.

Steven Heck just might be what Harry would be like if he were a spy instead of a cop. Especially given the in-universe speculation that Heck isn't really a black-ops CIA agent but rather just some crazy guy who deluded himself into thinking he is and became REALLY good at it.

I enjoyed the 4 Personalities in Fallout 4. 1. Yes, I will help you, I am the last bastion of love and goodness in this messed up world we call Fallout. 2. Sure, I’ll help ya toots but it’s gonna cost ya an arm and a robot leg! Just kiddin. I’m wacky. Did you see Firefl- 3. I can’t comment yes or no, I choose neutrality. Indecision or just chronic apathy? Either way I’ll probably have to do this task anyway to progress the game. 4. No I won’t help you, in fact I’ll face gently caress you to death and burn down the whole town. Mwahahaha

I've never really had a problem killing enemies with a shotgun in Alpha Protocol. I guess it might be a problem on Hard, but even then, heavy armor and the right skills can let you clear the room if you know what you're doing. Anyway, does anyone have any idea of how to get the Phasewalker (I think it's called) trophy on PS4? It's one of the last few from before the JV update that I still need to pick up.

It probably helps DE that the missable content is mostly writing, rather than writing combined with art assets, animations, ect. DE's whole approach to choice is less about the 2010s ideal of diverse branching paths (that was never really achieved) and more about the much more achievable goal of allowing for character expression through how you choose to react and occasionally resolve events.

Rope Kid highlighted this, but it extremely economically gives weight to your choices via the skill check modifiers - it’s neat seeing that +1 or -1 on a check because of an action taken hours ago, but it terms of dev time, not too demanding.

Inland Empire is your unfiltered emotions, dreams, and forebodings. Basically, Inland Empire has a lot of interesting (read: wrong) ideas about the world. It lets you know when there might be something mysterious or spooky going on.
