I think it should be optional sometimes other times let low stakes games and actual choice games do their thing

Most of my Skyrim time is me wanting a low stakes adventure, galavanting across the holds and stabbing dudes and generally enjoying a low stress environment (in terms of consequence)

But sometimes I do wish I could have actual consequences and impact

Idr what game but I was happy my character could change the world but at the same time I was basically freaking out over “omg omg omg what I make the wrong choice or one o didn’t mean to”

It really depends on the player and like I said I don’t want every game to be devoid of meaningful choice but at the same time I don’t want to worry about stepping on the wrong blade of grass

Thank you for coming to my insane rambling
