About branches: I think I get the hint, since there is only one optional party member at the moment (I think), so two branches are whether you have him in the party or not, but what is the third branch? Is that just the branch where you manage to follow sidequest objectives (following Easter Egg hints) or is there something else I'm missing?
About controls: that was just a bit of venting on my part. I mean, I didn't even find anything about rebinding controls to numpad on the internet, and game.ini seems not to recognize these keys if you try to bind it yourself, so that's probably not even possible. It's more notable in Dusken Blades, since it is more text-heavy than other SRPG games that I've played, but ultimately it's not a big deal. Myself, I already did rebind controls somewhat to my liking (had to sacrifice right key button, worth it).
