I'll use the earliest choice from the first game as an example:Your character walks into a village area to see a girl getting chased down by a gang of men. When you walk up, you have choices to the effect of: - help the girl - tell off the men - ask if you could join inEach choice you leads to a different consequence, whether it be changing people's opinions about you, or killing off a story character at a crucial moment so as to affect something else in the story.As a result, the story is rather short, but there are a lot of permutations to get to the different endings.The first game had a frustrating save system, though. Any time you load up your game, the game would auto-delete your progress so you can't keep on resetting to see the different choices quickly. The second game changed that though.
