Is there ANY game where you actually affect the story and the world? I am not talking about additional 5 cutscenes or missing / adding multiple NPCs

I believe Dishonored had some sort of Chaos system that affected the story and the world.
>More Chaos = More rats/ Story line changes
with the current tech I dont know why the F we dont have this.
like a GTA game where if you do more drugs missions, the city goes to shit, adicts, prostitution and murders everywhere.
or a RPG where I'm given the choice to either support the Church or the Science ministry.
Support the church: burnt "witches" are common, women wearing hijabs, ignorance and famine in the kingdom but I get better magic
Support the sciences: children going to school, trains, machinery, better weapons

I'm trying to think of an RPG that progresses differently based on your choices and where the endings are radically different.
hm
The Fable games.

Witcher 1 literally changing the order you do sidequests in can have consequences to the main story and most of your decisions have consequences and you never know if you made the right choice, its a very complicated system comapred to most games
>>343673379
Shit like, if you play the bad guy, the world will actually really change.
>Unleash an undead plague on the world
>It actually kills off most people and turns them into ravenous dead, towns become deserted and only major cities are left, but protections are strict as fuck
Instead of
>Unleash undead plague
>GO to town X to stop it
>You'll find some pre-set encounters on the way there, but if you go anywhere else, it's all fine and dandy

fucking positivists

Probably because doing things like that and making it any good at all (not recycling the same "burnt witch" model or "drug murder" event every 10 minutes) requires you to put 3 games worth of assets into a single game, and it's not worth the effort.
dragon age cuckquisition
Prototype sort of
>>343675183
no idea.
Age of Decadence has the most branching story-line out of all "not-walking-simulator" games I can think of right now.
Gothic 1 and 2 vary quite a bit based on what class you choose to be.

I love how the Witcher does choice in their games, in the way that you make a choice, and then later down the line a few hours later you see the result of that choice. Instead of having it either play out right away so you can just reload and do it over again or to have the choices all just be things that they promise to resolve in the sequels.
>>343676336
if it's so expensive/complicated then explain
>>343674169
>>343677705
That's a step in the right direction but it wasn't to the same degree as anon or especially OP was describing.
No lol you expect people to actually put any effort in their ''role playing'' ''games''?
>>343677705
Not him, but:
Dishonored only has two possible outcomes for each "scene" (NPC dialogue, the way missions play out etc.) and even then, the difference is almost entirely cosmetic.
Actually branching paths would mean creating many possible, parallel paths. It would also mean that it's possible for players to miss content, which is something AAA devs are currently avoiding like the plague, in favour of catering to near-blind morons who need stuff pointed out to them.
As >>343673219 said, Alpha Protocol had a lot of genuinely branching stuff. You could completely miss entire characters and their part in the story by doing missions in different orders. Enemies could be allies or vice-versa. You can even find ways to kill off every major character in the story. If they hadn't been forced to rush the game it would've been one of the best rpgs of its generation.
The other big hindrance to variety is production values. Fallout 4 shows that adding animated, spoken dialogue severly cuts down on how much actual content you can create (that and Bethesda's usual laziness).
