[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9073124, member: 7024481"] no I'm more than willing to flex. But at the point the DM starts telling me and or other players why thier decsions won't work and how bad it's going to get, that DM better have a way to make my "hero" in game have a reason to play it his way. The railroad in his/her head isn't in my head and I don't live in other people's heads anyway. I will admit that when someone pushes I either push or stand there and smile. Force, coercion, goading, loss of abilities, items etc won't stop my character from going for the goal. Just like in real life if someone tells me I'm confused and my goal should be xxxxx. I politely smile and move on towards my goal as defined on the players history that me and the DM created. Generally the few times i've encountered stuff like i posted, the DM can't understand anyone acting different than they would and therefore they try to railroad the game the way "it would have happened". I had a DM do the "You wake up it was all a dream" 4 times in a row till I told him, "If I wake up again i'm done. " My decisions are my decisions, good, bad, right, wrong, DM gets to give me the consequences. I'm ok with that. If I'm enjoying the company and the company is enjoying me I can die 100 times and still have fun at the table. I've noticed the guys that like railroads can't enjoy me enjoying my decisions.
