The game additionally displays a special 'The balance has shifted' icon to warn players before plot-relevant choices, even when playing offline. These statistics are stored in a shared global database for all platforms. An optional, online-only ' social' feature allows players to discover (either before, or after making the choice) which options other players (and their Facebook friends in particular ) picked in these situations.
