He can't even get multiple nationalities working. This game has been around for years and in the beginning there were more options hinted at and never got that one done. And that barely requires any branching. It's basically just a different start until you end up in Scotland for the training sessions.Originally the various skills and traits from the prologue would send you down differing branches in the main game but it already seems like a struggle for Crush to write this thing without branching. I think he'd be mad to try to tie it all together before finishing the main story
Imagine if he had to deal with a semi-open world thing that he was promising at one point.
