[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9123820, member: 86653"] Again, no. Because the outcome has no bearing on your agency to act. Better information will certainly result in having the capacity for better choices, I think. But what the players do with that information is still up to them. I'm not sure about more or less meaningful choices. Maybe it's late and the cold medication is kicking in, but I'm not sure about measuring the meaningfulness of choices. Some choices will have more impact than others, sure. Choosing to wake up with your alarm or hit the snooze is a meaningful choice. Choosing to propose marriage or quit your job are also meaningful choices. But I'd say "how meaningful" those choices are is a matter of hindsight. Hitting the snooze alarm might be what allowed you to go on the snowball of the day that lead directly to finding the love of your life. So that would have more impact than you'd think. Etc. "There are guards here" is clearly less precise than "there are 37 guards here". But either will still let the PCs make a decision. They don't suffer a hit to their agency because they know guards are here vs there are 37 guards here. [/QUOTE]
