I agree. There were choices early in the game, but they didn't matter at all. Which from a certain point of view, is fine, from another point of view though, it's really annoying. Having content that no one will see in a game that is as grindy and boring game play wise as BB sucks, because no one really WANTS to replay it anyway. If the grind was less Russian, then maybe, as it is, I never replay the game because it is hours and hours of clicking on bullshit, over and over to get back to see a 1-3 minute non repeatable sex scene. Why bother?
BUT, because the choices are still in the game, and because the game makes you think at points that you have actual influence in what happens, and what routes you are on, when nothing comes of it, it still sucks. It's why some still pine for Eric's greasy embrace, it's why Lisa fans are still asshurt over the lack of romance, it's why anyone who is doing the Olivia route and ISN'T following the game closely is wondering why their updates have been short as shit for months. That last one, the Olivia choice is the final branch that looks be mixed in with the rest of the game. It was inevitable, and honestly necessary, but it's the last vestige of any actual player control or even the illusion of gameplay.
