You know what always bugged me about The Walking Dead Games was the fact that they said that your choices matter but then there were bits in the games that didn't matter choice that I can think of SPOILERS obviously:
Saving Carley and Doug - Both don't change the story that much just you tell people you were going to jail before the outbreak as Lee if Carley survived. But then in Episode 3 both die regardless kinda defeats that choice.
Cutting off Lee's arm or not - I mean this one I get why they went the route they did because they wanted to give players hope and they wanted everyone to experience the sadness of Lee dying but I just wish if you chose to chop off his arm he could have survived until the next season but they wanted to go the Clementine only route which was clearly the better narrative wise.
Choosing Kenny or Jane at the end of Season 2 - This one was the one that pissed me off the most I mean both die so Clementine is by herself in Season 3 but why though it kind of gets rid of the whole point of choosing the person Clem could stay with and have them die in the following season without much screen time.
Saving Ben in Season 1 - Again another one where you save someone and it doesn't matter in the long run Ben still dies, yes it gives you the scene with Kenny trying to save Ben proving that he didn't have a grudge but then they did the same thing when Ben was dead with Christa so regardless Kenny 'sacrifices' himself.
There are other choices which I could add but these were always the ones that bugged me.
