You don’t have to choose a mode for each opponent. For example, you could make one opponent lose 5 life and spare each other opponent. They might not repay your kindness.

You can’t choose more modes for Vindictive Lich’s triggered ability than you have opponents, but you need to choose at least one target if you can.
