No.  The choices you make in the TellTale games do have an effect on the characters and branching paths of the stories.  Not just how other characters treat you, but literally affecting who lives, who dies, or who gets maimed in some situations.  If you want to play a game that repeatedly asks you questions on how to proceed, but then ignores your choice competely if you choose anything other than predetermined path scripted by the game, then play "I Am Setsuna".  I love the game, by the way.  But, I can't fathom why the developers even bothered with putting in the pretense of making choices when the characters in the game flat out tell you your decision was wrong if it goes against the single scripted path of the story.

I was joking...

But you're wrong still. I don't know about the Wolf Among Us, my joke was simplly satirical. But the first two seasons of Walking Dead are atrocious. They're the definition of artificial choice. They affect who lives and dies, but the problem is that doesn't affect the actual game, it just affects which buddy you hang out with the longest. In theory simply saying "It affects who lives, dies or who gets maimed" sounds great, but in a video game there are so many things to factor and who lives or dies doesn't really change anything in the actual game. It's not real choice, it's the illusion of choice. Of course I haven't played those games in forever, but I did play both of those seasons twice, and they both had terrible decision making. Which is funny, because having the main character being a free little girl without custody should have made season 2 more open.
