I wonder why some players would think being a hero was a possibility?
- From the OP
Still that's why choices should have consequences but every action is mostly inconsequential.
Hell the tutorial gave the impression we would be using Control, Awaken, and Shatter but then it just got downplayed to situational because writing is hard 
There was once a Slave Route too.  Damn so much wasted potential.  Even teased about fixing Gwen and Chloe because a lot of fans didn't like that they got put on rails.  Not many still hold out hope for that nowadays.
