maybe i spread my choices out too much but none of my stats ended up at over 9, is this expected or do i need to hyper focus my stats during the first two chapters?

Also, i kinda flip flopped growing up i was rebellious but i took the lashing at the sacrament and from then on its like my spirit was broken and i gave up. If i had caught the lash or raised my head what would have happened? If I do get the full game i would probably redo it but idk.

Also, im assuming you get three different stories: Judge, Prophet, Conspirator, so do they all have different stuff or is it more like different flavors or perspectives of the same general story? Like would the judge try to preserve the old ways, conspirator violently overthrow, and prophet peacefully reform? And its all different views of the same overarching plot, or are they actually different stories for each path?
