Nobody has bothered to answer other than your very vague, "That's far from the only difference...," which isn't a real answer.Okay, if you want to make that distinction than there is only one agency = agency, which makes a comparison impossible to have happened. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />My agency to act within the real world and my agency to have my PC act within the game world are identical.  I can make decisions that have impact on the environment, real or imaginary.Sure it is.  Government can change every rule in existence.  In my household I can change any rule in existence.  Agency = agency.  Scope only matter as subjective preference.  The government doesn't have greater agency than I do.  Both the government and I can make decisions that impact our environment.The meaning in other games doesn't matter to agency other than to focus more or less on specific aspects of agency.  If you enjoy those aspects, it will feel to you as if you had greater agency, even though you do not.  If you don't enjoy them, it will feel as if you have less agency, even though you do not.</blockquote>
