I understand replay value but I want to just play a game once and achieve my perfect ending where everyone lives/gets a happy ending. Idealistic? Perhaps. But I'm a control freak and will not rest until I craft my perfect story in a choices-matter game and it's impossible to do everything in one run of this game.
TL;DR choice paralysis a la roadwarden
EDIT: ok I did some more thinking on why I dropped this game so early on and I think it's because the fates of several major characters are dependent on ONE choice you make at the very beginning of the game (i.e. what personality Grace has) and THAT felt like such a monumental decision that my control freak ass could not cope with. How am I supposed to know who I want to save if I haven't even met these people yet? I know the answer is just "play the game, stop looking shit up!!!" but quite frankly, it feels way too punishing of a consequence for a decision you make 10 minutes in. I just sat there thinking to myself "damn, what if I really like x character when I meet them but I can't save them bc I fucking picked red grace??"
