Top 12 Most Difficult Choices in Video Games
Games that force player to make tough choices often have very immersive stories. This is one aspect that I really like even when those moments feel very hard.
Only one per game, since so many games have so many difficult choices.
Overall choice "How to play the game (class, karma...) do not count, since those are present in so many games.
Honorable Mentions:
Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic - Sith or jedi (final choice)
Mass Effect - Save the council / let council perish
Mass Effect 2 - Who to romance?
Spec ops: The Line - Soldier or Civilian?
Tales from the Borderlands - Handsome Jack AI

12 titles
- DirectorKonrad TomaszkiewiczStarsDoug CockleDenise GoughJo WyattThe monster slayer Geralt of Rivia must find his adoptive daughter who is being pursued by the Wild Hunt, and prevent the White Frost from bringing about the end of the world.Yenner of Triss
- If you have read books, this might be pretty easy decision. But to me it was not, even when I had read the books.
- To me, there is the storyline in books and then there are my own decisions that are not affected by the books. It is complicated.
- Worst part in all this is, that this decision must be made pretty early. I'd say that it is before half way and this game could devour over 100 hours of gameplay.
- DirectorDavid CageStarsPascal LangdaleJacqui AinsleyJudi BeecherAs a child goes missing, his father tirelessly works to rescue him, while a journalist, an FBI agent, and a private detective try to identify his kidnapper known only as the "Origami Killer".It is difficult to pick one since many points in the game lead to many different points in later game. So for me the most difficult choice is this one:
Who do I want in the finale?
There is many possibilities and all of them have different design and consequences:- Norman and Ethan
- Ethan and Madison
- Madison and Norman
- Only one of the three
- DirectorNick HermanJason LatinoDennis LenartStarsAdam HarringtonErin YvetteChuck KourouklisAs Bigby Wolf, the big bad wolf in human form, you will discover that the brutal, bloody murder of a Fable is just a taste of things to come when another dead Fable is found which starts the hunt for a serial killer.Good or bad?
This is sum of all choices that pretty much culminates to the last choices you make, even more so if you do certain things at the end.
But this is really a choice about who you try to be.
Alternative one:
Go after her / Let her go
To me this is question like: Is the ending a cliffhanger?- Do you continue this investigation or do you ignore it and consider it closed case?
I hate cliffhangers and since it is pretty sure that there wont be season 2 in WAU, all that happens between that moment and beginning of the comics, is mystery. So how should it end, cause neither option is really a "good one". - DirectorDan TudgeStarsSteve ValentinePeter RenadayKate MulgrewAfter four hundred years since the last Blight, a new Archdemon seeks to destroy the land of Ferelden. It is up to the player - as one of the remaining Grey Wardens - to unite the divided armies of Ferelden and save humanity.Morrigan or Leliana
- Easier version of Witcher 3. But it is two of the best female characters in whole franchise and you are suppose to choose between them.
Alteranative one:
Choosing party
It is because the banter party members have. Most of it is really well written and that really forces you to choose which banter you want to hear, cause some of it is about current events. - DirectorSefton HillStarsCarlos AlazraquiLaura BaileyTroy BakerWith his back against the wall, Batman turns to his closest allies to help him save Gotham City from the clutches of Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight's army. A familiar face also returns to give The Dark Knight a message he cannot ignore.Knightfall: YES/NO
This may not really be choice like many others so there will be alternative one. I mean, this question really means that do you want to conclude the game and end Batman's career. Ending of the game could have used a little more work (not much) but do you really want that there is no more Batman.
Alternative one:
Ra's Al Ghul or Nyssa Raatko?
You have pick a side. Either destroy last of lazarus or give it to Ra's. There is consequences. - DirectorSean ManningKent MudleStarsTroy BakerEnn ReitelMurphy GuyerBatman is blackmailed by the nefarious Amanda Waller to go undercover and infiltrate a group of super villains that call themselves, The Pact.Friends of Enemies
At the very end Joker asks you if you were ever friends and that pretty much leads to the point where you are either friends with him or enemies. He likes both, but what do you really aim at. - DirectorMark DrosteKent MudleJason PykeStarsTroy BakerLaura BaileyRichard McGonagleFollows Bruce Wayne as he tries to juggle being the Billionaire and owner of Wayne Enterprises, with the masked vigilante Batman.Harvey Dent or Oswald Coppelbot
At the end of ep4, you are forced to choose one. This is difficult, partly because Two-Face has great outcome either way, but Penquin has not. - DirectorSean AinsworthNick HermanDennis LenartStarsDave FennoyMelissa HutchisonNick HermanIn a world devastated by the undead, a convicted criminal is given a second chance at life when he comes across a little girl named Clementine.What to say to Clementine?
- To me it is easy to choose what to do with Lee but what to say Clementine? How should she see the world after Lee is not guiding her. After all, Clementine is the true main character of the series.
- DirectorLennart SasStarsMarc SilkJonell ElliottFay MaillardetThe resurrected warrior "The Overlord" has control over hordes of gremlin-like creatures known as "Minions" and must defeat seven corrupt ruling heroes in order to reconquer the lands and establish his lordship over its inhabitants.Rose or Velvet / Good or Bad
There can be only one mistress and this is also very early pick. Immediate consequence is the style of the castle. Rose is good and Velvet is evil one. - DirectorMike LaidlawSam McGlynnPierre Michel-EstivalStarsHarry Hadden-PatonAlix Wilton ReganJon CurryWhen the Conclave is destroyed, leaving only one survivor, demons are loosed up on the world. In an attempt to restore order and save the world, the survivor--now the inquisitor-- instigates the long forgotten inquisition.Drink from the well / Let Morrigan drink
- It is kinda of pickle at the moment and depending on the choices from DA: Origins, this might just be even more difficult.
- DirectorAdam BadowskiStarsDoug CockleAlexander MortonAntony ByrneAfter being framed for a murder, a monster slayer must find the assassin and clear his name.Kill dragon / spare dragon
- For some reason, this one was the most difficult one to me.
- DirectorNeil DruckmannBruce StraleyStarsNolan NorthTroy BakerRichard McGonagleThrown back into the dangerous underworld he'd tried to leave behind, Nathan Drake must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.How to answer to Elena?
- What's my article about? Well, crap, you don't know so come up with something.
