I found this useful. Thanks.

This is no way to write a Dwayne Johnson movie

I actually dislike this methodology in games. It’s so damn tired. I don’t want a ‘good route’ and a ‘bad route,’ and I don’t want a ‘none of your choices actually matter because we’ve carefully balanced them so neither option could offend anyone ever’ route.

I want different routes. I want multiple good endings. I want multiple bad endings. I want my choices to change things, not just slot stuff into ‘this is good’ or ‘this is bad’ or ‘this is slightly different but doesn’t actually matter in any meaningful way.’

Let characters fuck up. Let characters do amazing things. And then serve the consequences, good, bad, or weird, that they so richly ordered.
