TurtleHurdle Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Any recommendations for LN with lots of choices? I just find it much more enjoyable when i have a greater influence on the story. Especially with one that has lot's of endings ^-^ Thank you! Quote
Life Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Lots of choices hmm... probably something by Key. I would say go for Little Busters! or Rewrite but Clannad, Kanon or Air might be good choices as well. Fate Stay Night has a lot of choices but the story you go down is determined early on and the rest of the choices lead to bad ends. Quote
Guest Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Well, I don't know which VN's you've already read. But KEY games have lots of choices (Clannad, Little busters, ...) and many have an influence. Fate stay night also has many choices. Quote
Funnerific Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Aoishiro, Soul Link. Choices that really matter and lots of bad ends with story. Fairly high amount of normal endings as well in the first case (from overall 56 endings), and a very clever bad end system in the latter (several chances during the game to get the necessary item, for instance, so even if you didn't get it the first time you can still beat the game). I don't recommend Key games in this respect because their bad ends suck. Quote
FamedWolf Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Try deardrops and G senjou no Maou. They have lots of choices to choose from. Quote
Christfall Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Ever17 has a lot of choices, it lacks in the amounts of ending department however, if you don't mind. All ages and translated, the best game for beginners. My best recommendation that fits what your need : If you can read Japanese, will be Root Double: Before Crime, After Days by the writer of Ever17. It has massive amounts of choices, 30+ endings. Oh, it is all ages as well. It uses a very unique choice system not seen in any other VN. Even if you can't I recommend you do it anyway with translation tools, it is just that good. VN-Angel 1 Quote
Monmon Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Hm... Canvas 2 have lots and lots of choices. and its pretty good moege too, you should try it if u have time. Quote
Praeliator Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I'll recommend I/O revision II if you want lots of choices then. There's 31 endings in the game and there's 76 choices in the entire game. Quote

Really liked how they executed the true ending. Aside from having a solid story and fully-voiced protagonists, another good point of Root Double is its well-made bad ends. A choice you made in earlier stage might affect you in the future and you don't realize you're entering the bad end til it is too late. A particular bad end totally surprised me. Only after playing about 1 hr and collecting about 5 CGs, did I realize that I entered bad end. And guess what ? The trigger is accumulation of some wrong choices I made since the start. Each of those choice didn't immediately take effect, instead they punished you at the end with an elaborate bad end. Man, that was my favorite bad end in VN so far. ^ All is assuming that you have yet to find out the "loophole" of the choice system that is~ xD . Vokoca 1 Quote
Darkshine Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Fate/Stay Night has a lot of choices to choose from though you'll wind up dead if you may a wrong turn. Quote

I've seen this game on a Vita sale once and it piqued my interest a bit - but you just completely sold me! I absolutely love bad ends when done right, and this sounds plain amazing, adding it to the top of my to-read list. As for my suggestion... if you're looking for some a bit unconventional choices, check out Kara no Shoujo. Each day you get to pick where to go on a map, rather than picking from a set of choices - and you also get to investigate the crime scenes and solve the mystery on your own. The story ends depending on how you do - and it almost never ends well. KEY VNs were also mentioned a lot already, but I would like to bring attention to Clannad specifically. Out of the KEY VNs I've played, Clannad provides the most choices, most flexible 'common route' and a plethora of routes. If you're looking for an interactive story that changes constantly according to almost every single choice you make, this might be your best bet from the translated bunch. Quote
nohman Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 This might not be in the area you're exactly looking for, but Long Live The Queen has a lot of choices and player agency. There's a clear line to why you fucked up, although all the bad ends will largely feel like they're owed to the fact that you're not precognitive. As to the game's quality, you're mileage may vary. I enjoyed it for what it was, a cheap relatively short title I wasn't expected a whole lot out of. Quote

Asterisk Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 If you're just looking for something that requires a lot of decision making Kara no Shoujo Quote
