I understand where you are coming from. I also find it underwhelming if some choices just mean a "skip the scene" or at most change the word "sarah" for "baby" or even "slut".With that being said I do wish some devs wouldn't add choices that does go against the main theme to give a illusion there is a second optional path if it really isn't gonna be developed on much compared to the other.
But if some minor paths are under-developed, I can live with or even like it, if they stay realistic and to have a certain end. The joke in the beginning: "Do not go into the door - she lived happily afterall" was great. I know it gets frustrating when the game is developed, but if you play it in one go when it's done, it feels good for me (if there is a certain amount of content and not being all a short joke).
But Dudlbert is right, there might be choices that matter.
