There are three types of choices you can choose from:

  • Confront
  • Compassion
  • Insight

These decisions were available in the first game of the series, Horizon Zero Dawn. You shouldn't expect these decisions to alter the ending of your story, but they will affect small parts of the game, such as future dialouge with the character you are speaking with.

This also helps to add slight changes to the game for those who are going to play through multiple times.
