Im abouta start for the first time. quick question. is there any way to know which path your going on whether it be hero path or villain path? and also if you choose one path are you completly locked out of content from the other?
There are no hero or villain paths.
Most choices are pretty self isolated with low to no consequence.
And the ones that matter are pretty obvious. (Like killing or recruiting a character)
Game is made by just one guy, branching like that would take more than a decade.
