The moments you want to give an answer but it might not be that minor spoiler... The branches are different routes to the same destimation, and how things play in certain point(s) depends on your choices you've made. Postive outcome all around is possible, but also fucking everything up is also possible. Or something in between...I'm gonna have to ask for what might be considered a minor spoiler here:
I'm trying to decide if I want to go with the Gorgons or the Association, and so far I'm leaning towards the Association, but I'm very interested in the Demon woman from the beginning. So, I'd like to ask if being allied with the demon-hunters would be a bad idea if I want to pursue a positive storyline with her in the future?
