Freedom of answering because you choose to speak with your main to change minor things ?
If this isn't freedom for you, to change from minor to big things, because your choices affect everyone around you in some way. I don't know what else to tell you. If what you want is already start doing choices that will affect the whole world like some legendary hero when you just started a game, I... have no idea how to respond to that too. And if you think your Tav is nothing, that on you. I think my Tav is amazing and so far my favorite character in the game.
