If there is one outcome, remove the guise of control. Have my character speak for me. I don’t fucking care. I’d rather feel like my character is doing or saying something I wouldn’t personally do than for me to be given a fucking pop-up that means nothing and is just there to reinforce a self-insert facade. At least make a bit out of it if you’re gonna do it. It’s genuinely one of the worst pieces of game design outside of legitimately predatory behavior.
dragon age origins did it well
do something that will obviously immensely piss off one of your companions and they will just fucking leave lol
The bad guy ending for Knights of the Old Republic rules, too.
Dark Side ending spoilers
Massacring half of your party, and forcing Zaalbar to choke out Mission was some pretty diabolical shit. And if you didn't take the dark side path for him on Kashyyyk, he tries to kill you on the Star Forge later.
yeah, that ending was heavy lol
