[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 7556258, member: 30438"] Definitely. I will work with my players to come up with stuff they want to do. I will account for PC agency and just outright ask them “what do your characters want to do next?” But there used to be this guy, who, even after all that, in mid-adventure, would decide his character wanted to go do something else. Harass people in a tavern, investigate the local cemetery, interrogate the local officials about their legal system. Why, one time, he even tried to walk away from the main quest of the entire campaign when there weren’t as many other players around to countermand him. It’s all about grinding the game to a halt to focus on their character. The whole game has to stop while they go off and do their thing, or while the rest of the group has to convince them to go along with what everyone else already decided to do. That particular player, for a number of reasons, is no longer someone I game with. [/QUOTE]
