What a joke, as expected, the central focus of a huge part of the plot is completely meaningless. I've been purposely missing out on content because anytime the narrator said "use your authority" with such emphasis, I purposely avoided using the power because like a rube, I figured there would be, you know REACTIVITY on part of the game. But I guess REACTIVITY only matters for those that are playing like they 'should'.
I have to laugh at people trying to pretend this is a "omg, you just don't get it, this is brilliant to have none of your decisions really matter". Oh yea, that's some brilliant writing alright.
