The devs have to program every possible outcome of every choice in the game.
The game has already tons of choices or skill checks where the result influences tons of other things.
And thats just when you have to select option 1,2 or 3 or if a skill check can either succeed or fail.
If you add more possible outcomes to every skill checks as you suggested, the amount of work that this causes would raise exponentially.
This game has already more reactivity than I have ever seen in any game, and thats great.
If the devs had infinite time and money to create content and fix all bugs, your idea would be great.
At the moment I would be happy if the devs can fix bugs in the current system so your choices result in a consistent story.
If you want 5 possible outcomes for each skill check, you can wait at least 3 more years for this game.
