At about the midpoint in the game the player has to choose between saving a group of civilians at a church or saving one (or possibly more) buddies at the bar.
At first I thought of saving the buddies because we had a personal relationship, but then I was unsure because it couldn't be moral to let the greater number of civilians die. Then I realized I hated my main buddy so I saved the civilians and all of the buddies died.
What happens if you save the buddies at Mike's Bar instead of the civilians at the church?
