Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 8163525">I will get to the rest of this later (short on time), but to quickly answer this, look at my phrasing, I didn't say railroads were thwarting what the player wanted (you may want to be a 20th level wizard at the start of the game, I don't think anyone would make a serious argument that denying a player that would be railroading. I said railroading was thwarting their choices in the setting. The choice in the setting was to look for the brother. That choice wasn't thwarted at all. In fact it was honored, and the brother just happened to be dead (when you have a world in motion, where the GM generates the setting content, this sort of thing can happen).Also, the first part of your answer glosses over a massive divide between us: we have a different definition of agency in RPGs.</blockquote>
