I value causal consistency, but even that exists to serve the game. But the fact that I planned for ogres on the western road, is meaningless if they take the eastern road. If I had signaled that there  were ogres, then yeah I’m gonna have something else going on easterly. Probably not just another different fight, but maybe a social challenge involving a troupe of performers whose wagon is stuck and who offer the party to compose a rollicking adventure play in their name if they help, but something isn’t right in the troupe, etc. Just like if they go fight those ogres 5 levels later, one of them will have also leveled up in that time, and they will have better gear they’ve taken from travelers, and it will be a higher level fight.</blockquote>
