It's an idea that's been hyped up for as long as I can remember, and it never works out, for a very simple reason. Every additional playable part has to be made. The more choice you offer, the more production time (and in the case of a commercial title, resources) you need to make it. Since games aren't the kind of stuff people work on for decades, this means you either need to limit the amount of possible choices or half-ass the outcome of the choices (or a combination thereof, which seems to have been very popular among Western developers in the past decade). Either way will not live up to the expectations created by the false promise of a 'game that completely changes depending on your choices/actions'.
