When choosing options for your MC in VNs...

How about the issue of adding in sound effects to indicate you made the right choice? Personally, if I cared about getting on the NPCs' good sides (such as Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love) for the sake of something greater, I'd welcome it. But I guess having sound effects to indicate the degree of making a choice may be a dead giveaway as obvious?

never considered that - would probably only work if in order to get the "good" routes, you would have to mixture of choices - both bad and good... but sounds like an interesting idea

The problem of balancing flexibility and continuity in the discussed situation hurts my brain. x_x
Would it be of any use to have a cutoff point after which destinies diverge based on alignment, and any contrasting decisions thereafter would be presented/interpreted as a plot-significant change of heart?
