Well since you said "everyone", SpikeA, I'm going to continue as if you were talking to me. I don't believe I missed the original posters intention at all I just didn't agree with it.
I respect that you, Bhearus, would like to change the outcome of the game depending on what you did but like I said this isn't Mass Effect.
The developers of this game obviously want to tell a straight narrative in their games. One that they can cite in later games as hard facts about what happened. If you could have a good or bad ending then what do they say happens in the lore in Divinity 5 on the Sega 360ps5 (that's just a theoretical console, obviously).
Obviously there ARE ways to do this but this is how they chose to do it. I'm not saying you have to like it but you shouldn't expect them to do it the way you would want to. You bought the product and by the sounds of it, your going to buy their next product too. Money speaks louder than words in this case.
There are linear and open games for a reason. Different flavors for different people.
