The second part there is by far my biggest issue with the game. I don't find the outcomes THAT different.

I've about finished Act 1, so I started a coop playthrough with a friend. Although we've both been intentionally picking different options the whole time, it's still by and large the same process. Go to the same locations, talk to the same people but have them react to you somewhat differently. There's a large number of ways in which the game implies much more can happen than is really possible, and lots of ways you end up getting railroaded back to the same place no matter how much you try to change it up.
