I like good choice and consequence game. It may be related to game story or combat or combination of both.

Deus Ex may be a good example for both combat and story in my opinion.

Witcher 2. The first of it's 3 acts doesn't have that much C&C, but the second act varies wildly depending on various choices which you make during the first, and the last act and ending does to a fair degree too.

All choices tie in with one another, and you really have to play it through 3 or 4 times to see it from all angles.

It's a proper top notch example of C&C gaming at it's best and, despite it's popamole flaws, a shit hot game all round.

Roguelikes, other cRPGs won't even come close.
I mean real roguelikes, not whatever crap is being passed off as it on steam nowadays.
Name one “real roguelike” with actual C&C, you can’t even name one.

All of them. The games are designed around your actions having (often irreversible) consequences.
Choices having an actual impact on gameplay is something cRPGs rarely ever manage to implement on any level. CRPG choice and ""consequences""" is you seeing an extra dialogue option.

Choice select Ogre mage as starting species... Consequence you can't slice enemies to pieces and eat them. He's too intelligent for that.

Wildermyth has story-based C&C that can have a considerable impact on gameplay, in addition to mechanical C&C involving character customization and resource consumption.

Alpha Protocol is the best choice and consequence game, though probably not the best game with choice and consequence.

Nothing ever came close to Pathologic, it is an amazing C&C game, way more complex than 'choose A and 1 happes, or choose B and 2 happens'

Pathalogic 2 is a good game. Still waiting for the other parts

Have you heard of Life? It's a very hardcore game. There are no saves, the character creation is random, your stats are random, and your choices will affect the rest of the game.
Depending on your choices, the story will be very interesting or very boring. But since there are so many random factors that you can't control, I can't say I recommend it.

Actually answering the OP, Dishonored tracks how many NPCs the player killed and reflects that in future levels. The more you kill, the more guards and rats are in the city, and you will get a dark ending.

This is your nomination for best C&C game? Dis-fucking-honored. You...I...uh, whatever I give up with decline enablers. :negative:

Of course it's not my best C&C game, but it is rare for a stealth game to reflect past actions. Hitman Blood Money somewhat tried it with Notoriety system but it was useless if you played for Silent Assassin rating. Hey, at least I didn't list David Cage games.

Looks similar to maxpayne 3 blurry vision .Maybe Maxpayne 3 has got some inspiration from alpha protocol
