@gatsbythepig Just because they didn't actually alter the ending doesn't mean they didn't have any impact. Immediate impacts were the most obvious, in the reactions and dialogue of the characters you were interacting with, but there were long term impacts in the way characters interacted with you down the line if you sided with them or against them, or came to their aid. Now, I only played the game once, so I don't know how the major plot points change (or don't) based on your decisions, so I still feel like all of my decisions - even the small ones - were important. I made the choices with the way I felt was right on my first playthrough, so I didn't replay it to change my mind when it didn't pan out. When a game can make you think that much and feel the consequences of your decisions, I think it's a very good game, regardless of how they affect the ending of the game.
