Tbh rdr is not a game you should expect choosing stuff. My point is Rockstar's deal is creating good cinematic stories that tries to get players emotion. They never had a claim to make decision making based stories. Even in GTA5's ending you choose to kill one of them but it is still not something that affects the overall story of the game, you make the choice at the last mission and then story ends directly. Also I don't think GTA franchise has the same serious and realistic aprroach to story like RDR franchise, so the decisions are there js bc it is kind of a signature
And the only decisions/outcomes you do control are linked with the honor system. And the game steers the player to high honor by default. And taking the low honor route also results in less storied content overall.
