Are there any games where your choices actually matter?

came here to post fucking this.

Matters just as much as it did in Mass Effect 3
>>
>>323503060
Alpha Protocol
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Deus Ex
>>
The Witcher 1 & 2

3's main story goes exactly the same regardless of what you choose. You just get a different ending and different side quests. That was one downside about it.
>>
>>323503623
the endings arent just different colors m8
>>
>>323503708
They pretty much are
>>
>>323503623
Not sure if bait or completely retarded. Depending on the choices you make over the game, both in combat and not, you will get one of many subtle or not-so-subtle variations on the three main endings. These choices also have an immediate, eventual, or prolonged effect in game.

morrowind
youre free to kill main characters and fuck up your main story

try the Witcher 1 if you aren't a total bitch like most of /v/, most of /v/ are 13 year old's who will complain about the combat. (its really not that bad imo)

It does a nice job of having choices that seem to actually matter. Even on varying degrees of how much they matter.
It ranges from
>will I fuck this bitch or not?
>will I get this upgrade at the expense of losing a character? (example: the werewolf bit)
>what faction do I want to play through/ending do I want to receive
and these are just a few examples, when you start mixing and matching you starting creating a game that actually feels impacted by what you did. I played through it 4 times and wasn't bored.
>>
>>323503680
going by your logic witcher 2 is the same as witcher 3, the three acts all have the same kind of structure to them just with different people depending on your choices
>>
alpha protocol was about the only game that at least tried.

>the arguably worst ending in all of vidya matters as much as the ending that has grown men crying their eyes out

can you please at least attempt to conceal your bait, thank you.
>>
Neverwinter nights 2

>has grown men crying their eyes out

Permavirgins aren't men

>>323504508
>which faction
There is only one choice. ETERNAL FIRE FILL MY HEART.

>>323503060
Persona 4 Golden

I beat The Witcher and I didn't like the game at all. Like you said, the combat is terrible. But also lots of quests were awful, in particular that one in the swamp.

Baldurs gate

Any good pvp game.

Any game.

>>323503060

recently? Alpha Protocol

>>323503548
>>323503434

not really. you only have one meaningful choice between three options:

>kill everybody
>kill nobody
>kill some people but not everybody

all of the other dialogue options are jokes and have no consequences, no branching paths, etc etc etc
>>
>>323503060
Alpha Protocol did it best
Jade Empire is okay in this respect
If you play through the entirety of all Baldur's Gate games, there are some that matter
>>
Alpha Protocol is the one game that has WILDLY branching paths depending on player choice. I fucking love that game and I'm glad more people are giving it a chance now.
>>
Many roguelikes, Mount and Blade, Space Rangers, grand strategies (check the general).
I mean if you want your choices to affect actual game and not some cutscenes or whatnot.
