In addition to your more standard conversation options, you’ll have to make decisions on the road – including chance encounters and events – that “may affect the caravan’s morale, size and supplies, and form a personal connection to the characters traveling in your party.” The game’s branching narrative is also detailed, with the diagrams to prove it.
