Do choices really matter ?

[BT]

I remember playing the two previous games in the series and none of your choices really matter. Usually the Telltale games are written so that different choices only end up with minor dialogues differences.

Did Telltale say that this game will be different ?

Yes, they did, but in this episode you cannot change the story line. It seems like Telltale tried to make it look like you actually could change it but it is the same everytime.

Don't expect a real influence of your actions in the course of the narrative, but since it's the final season and they don't have to worry about a sequel, it's likely that the final outcome will be considerably different depending on your choices.

Yea I expect them to throw minor changes in some sequences in the last episode depending of your choices but the major storyline will probably be the same whatever you do.

Judging only this episode, no.

You NEVER can change major things in these games.
"Oh you saved character XXX instead of him dying? Witness how this character will barely interact with anyone for the remaining game time and then will be offed anyway in another scene".

Telltale games are all about the ILLUSION of choice.
You dont notice it the first time you play the games, but if you ever replay them you notice how little you really can influence.
The story is on rails, and will always lead to the same destination.

The only major diverging decisions are at the end of a season and then those get retconned the next season so everyone is still at the same place at the start.
