These could’ve been used to change the game into one to two hour runs, allowing a difficulty scale to be introduced and introducing more replayability. I would’ve preferred having set plots that had meaningful endings that created a unique outcome for the world. These two things together just eliminate any sense of replayability. This makes it feel like a bit of a pointless choice since the only effect it seems to have on the game can be overcome fairly easily.
