That’s true, I guess I’ve just played enough similar games where I could say “oh, this feels like an important choice, I better do it.” And then my character became a lich.

But I can definitely see where you’re coming from for a certain other path where there are quite a lot of hoops to go through.

And I think the game is supposed to have replayability though those paths… but then they put all the content with the paths they think players will be drawn to. Not necessarily the most fun to play. Like, I picked Lich to resurrect certain dead characters, but there’s no interaction with them beyond “go home” and “come with me”.

Talking about the second game makes me want to replay Kingmaker. I actually liked the party members in that game.
