@gaidax. Lack of impact of decisions? You can make some pretty bad decisions. And some pretty bad things can happen. There are limitations on what a computer game can do when it's setup like this. The time it would take for a chose your own adventure type of game would be 5-10 years if you make everything have a reaction.

For example.. how many times did you mess up but yet reloaded your game instantly?? You yourself are not living with the outcome of what happened.
