Yes - it is intended primarily as a "dilemma engine" that will shape your Character through their choices and actions - it doesn't really matter if you go left or right, but in a moment of crisis, if your Character chooses to save the princess or save the king, that's an interesting choice, and a moment where your Character should go towards whatever they've done so far in their lives. 1.
