I like the bullets. Indentation improves readability imo, and the bullet points are easy to do in the visual editor.

I lean towards diamond choices since it's already so prevalent in the fan lexicon. That being said, I don't have any strong objection to switching to premium choices.

I like the emojis. I'd also be in favor of switching out the black heart for an emoji heart so it looks more consistent with the rest of the emojis.

I like the exclamation point (because of the urgency), but not the capitalization (because it's too cartoony). But I could also go for the version with a period.

I like 💎12 more than 💎 12. I guess it's because I'm reading it as a currency symbol and not a word ($12 instead of 12 dollars).

For multi-path choices, I'd be in favor of using names (e.g. LI's name, spell used, etc.) instead of letters in most cases, and saving letters for situations in which it's not possible to label the path consicely for whatever reason.

In terms of choices that are a different number depeding on what other choices are made, maybe take the highest number and then add a note that the shorter path skips a choice/skips to a certain point. Like:

Choice A

-Do this thing. (No effect) -Do this other thing. (No effect) (Skips Choice B)

Choice B

-Related follow up choice. (No effect) -Alternative follow-up choice. (No effect)

Choice C

-Later choice. (No effect) -And so forth. (No effect)

or

Choice A

-Do this thing. (No effect) -Do this other thing. (Skip to Choice C)

Choice B

-Related follow up choice. (No effect) -Alternative follow-up choice. (No effect)

Choice C

-Later choice. (No effect) -And so forth. (No effect)

Which reminds me of another question. When a choice has multiple outcomes, should we put them in one set of parentheses or two? Like, should it be:

Choice X

-Yes. (Clue found) (+Relationship) -Maybe not. (No effect)

or

Choice X

-Yes. (Clue found, +Relationship) -Maybe not. (No effect)
