### Choices and Role Playing

Similar to Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row will allow players to make multiple choices. However, the decision making is more complex and most choices will come with major consequences that will result in many outcomes and possible alternate endings which will be determined by certain choices made throughout the game. This is seen in many games such as Fallout 4, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Mass Effect 1, 2, & 3, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Detroit Become Human, Red Dead: Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077.

The way the player interacts and treats other characters will result in their overall attitude towards other characters and how likely they are to come and aid others as a homie in combat.
