Pegasus’ Pretentious Point - Do you want a branching story, but also want to keep your costs down? A popular method of using a branching story is to have all of the branches exist within the B story, i.e., the relationships between the characters. Bioware uses this strategy frequently. The Grey Warden in Dragon Age: Origins can’t switch sides and join Loghain, but he has a variety of options regarding which of his allies to invite into his party, exile, or form a physical relationship. The player feels a surprising amount of control, and yet the player visits the same places and fights the same monsters regardless of his choices, keeping production costs down.
