How to unlock all paths in The Quarry

There are 15 paths in The Quarry that influence the story. Simply put, only decisions highlighted in the Paths section of the pause menu have any real impact on the story. Everything else (more than 90% of all dialog options) only changes the next line of the dialog and nothing else. When you activate one of these paths, the screen will display "Path Selected". As you make more decisions about the path, you will receive "Path updated" hints. New ones will be marked with an exclamation mark in the Paths menu so you can keep track of important options.

It is useful to know where each Path begins. While the vast majority will run automatically whether you choose option A or option B, some of them can actually be skipped if you ignore the optional items. A few trophies and achievements are also pathbound, or at least trackable. They are not considered collectibles. Unlocking all paths is not required for any individual trophy or achievement. They are listed below in chronological order.
