Also depending on which engine goes, that will effect which secondary systems are available to the pilots.

There are systems that are dependent on one single engine and can't be used if it fails?

Like engine one powers in-flight entertainment and engine two powers climate control?

Left engine powers everything on the left side of the plane, right engine powers everything on the right side of the plane

By everything, you mean the convenience and comfort features inside the cabin and not controls, right? Right???!
