Your opinion just illustrated how deep the game would be, despite its obvious Telltale/Dontnod roots: choices that would take you down different roads, with a HUGE emotional impact. You're absolutely right when you said that the consequences to the main character aren't that emotional, so having someone to think of at every move (wife and kid, brother, parents...) would definitely shake your moral compass.

No bland "good/evil", but a game where you were at a crossroad every step of the way.
