Remember when I said Life is Strange was good, but dropped the ball on choice?

After finishing, I think 2 is the opposite. It's not BAD, don't get me wrong, but it's not nearly as engaging story wise as the first. However, your choices mattered much more in terms of the ending.

It's almost as if the goals of telling a story with fully realized characters is diametrically opposed to the goal of allowing maximum player agency

Maybe. I’m not necessarily convinced it is yet, but I definitely see the problem.

Just want to point out that I didn't say "opposed to the goal of making a good game", but specifically "maximizing player agency".
