Depends on the game. Depends on the player.

My bad, was meant to be an expansion, not a correction. I have the insufferable need to chime in sometimes and pre-resolve potential ambiguities. It's something im working on.

Reason I even brought it up is I'm usually nice to npc's in general, but man. Some people I see in videos or anecdotes from assosciates got me giving them a mad side-eye. 1's and 0's or not, the malice and sadism gets ridiculous sometimes. Makes me repeatedly realize how different some people consume the same game as me in ways I never thought of and/or could never bring myself to do.

Anyway, interjection over, that was it

You'll be pleased to know in cases where single player games with branching storylines have collected data, it's been shown that players overwhelmingly go with the 'good' storyline :)
