Effects of Small Choices [Spoilers for all Episodes?]

[gruntaloob]

I was wondering what people thought some of the effects of the seemingly insignificant choices will be:

How you choose to stop the train when you save Chloe
Watering the plant
Signing the petition
Letting birds out of the house
Replacing the board over the bird eggs

So on and so forth. It seems like we're running out of time to make these little decisions pay off.

Oh yeah forgot about that train track switch thingy completly. Lisa is gonna mutate and devour everyone

i'm still waiting for the consequence of "writing on a dirty RV" ,every episode i keep checking the RV and nothing change ....

considering there is a huge storm coming with rain and stuff that Rv is gonna get hella clean

I think the majority of the choices were just a role in changing the dialogue and for a bit of fun. The ones where you know it has a consquence are the ones to look out for.
I think people are reading too much into these effects as I think it's just anothre interesting part of the game, and a way for DONTNOD to possibly choose what the next effects will be? Like if you save the birds, then the birds in the garage will survive? Or if you write on the RV Frank will mention something later on??
The Alyssa ones complex me the most, but I think it'll just be that we gain her trust if ep 5 has some sort of "against Max" thing going on.

From what I know of:

Not stopping the train the right way just changes the dialogue a little (splinters in Chloe's leg)

Watering your plant twice/not watering at all kills it in Ep 3

Signing the petition changes a bit of dialogue in Ep 2, 3 and 4 with Ms Grant. The letter in the Principal's Office changes (successful/failed petition). I think the letter in David's garage in Ep 4 changes too but I can't confirm.

Writing on the RV makes Max comment about it in Ep 2 (It gets covered by another layer of dust and Max says "I guess nobody took my advice")

The last two is from Ep 4 so we have to see what it'll do.

I agree, I don't know how saving Alyssa will play out.
