"Can you save both realities from tyranny? Or will you fall to the darkness on the looking glass’s other side?"
These questions are only rhetorical.
Because, sadly, we won't have the possibility to make a real choice as usual.
Why should I want to help the mass murderer Leeta?
It would be interesting to have the possibility to make choices like in Mass Effect or SWTOR.
it is really annoying to help disgusting peoples and not having the possibility to kill them once and for all, when you play a klingon or a rom (Leeta, Sela, etc). I know these characters are played by real actors, but who cares. The story should be more important than all other considerations
hakeev killed by my roms is a very interesting moment, after the tragedy brings by this guy. it is not a choice, but it is a logical move.

Making story choices meaningful is very difficult, and limits future story telling (how do you bring back a character 50% of players killed and 50% befriended? You don't). You can relax though, this is only the beginning and given the nature of Mirror Universe characters I'm almost certain Leeta will turn heel again before the story is finished. We'll probably kill the Emperor eventually, at which point Leeta will probably say something like "Thank you SO much for your help! Now die."
it would be so interesting.
it's not even a guess, it is going to happen
And as usual because this character can't be killed or disappear once and for all (Chase Masterson's character), we will see her again in the future, and us dumbest creatures of the universe, we will help her again
So many times, when I leveled my rom characters, I would have liked to kill Sela for the sake of the romulan people, and no instead of that they have to help her. So frustrating and disappointing
indeed, so maybe they could add minor choices, or create missions with minor possibilities. And "dust to dust" could have been written and created to allow different choices, even if it is just a choice of dialogue.
But I know, it is not easy, and can be difficult + they don't have a huge team.
but who cares it is just an example.
"There was an infestation of Tal Shiar Spies. I just fumigated."
I lol and pick that EVERY time, and wish I can threaten Madran with another fumigation if he annoys me. Because lets face it... the little troll deserved that hit to his bank account.
