It's annoying how every discussion about the choices soon revolves around the different interpretations of "tailored experience". For me, it's not the word "tailored" that lead to my disappointment. From the Steam store page:
"A tailored game experience – Live with the profound and lasting consequences of the decisions that you make in each episode. Your actions and choices will affect how your story plays out across the entire series."
It's just that having no impact on anything that is at least a little bit important in the story no matter how you play is something frustrating if you play a computergame. I personally also wouldn't mind if one choice would be better than another if you don't know that when you decide. For example I suspected at the end of episode 4 that some people you take with you may die if they are with you. So there is the impression that taking as many people as possible into a fight is the best option, on the other hand it is still stupid to take Ben with you to a stressful situation, because he can clearly not handle it. So I wouldn't have minded if he only was killed if you took him with you for example.
Of course then some people would replay the game to make different choices and see how they turn out and maybe they want to get the best out of the story. But then at least someone would be motivated to play the game again or play them instead of watching youtube and then be done with it, because nothing you would have done would have changed it.
I think that is something that should be adressed in season 2. It is a game and not a comic or movie. There has to be some flexibility in the outcome if you make a game even if there is only one ending (like other characters surviving or dieing because of your decisions, situations changing depending on how you handled people, etc). I don't really care if those decisions mostly would affect loose ends that will never be taken up again, it still would make me feel better because you never know when loose ends come back to the story.
