Both responsibility and choices are taken care of in a deterministic universe. I feel responsible for something because of preceding causation's in my mind. Asking whether I am 'responsible' has no bearing on whether determinism is true.
If you accept determinism is true for the external but not for ourselves, please give your definition of free will and then then provide evidence for how this free will exists.
