[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9192945, member: 7024481"] while I agree with you that's not what I'm saying. Sometimes the DM's idea of meaningful choices and what is acceptable alignment wise does not match players. for example. If you attack the pirates who do slave trade they'll attack the city enmasse and DM expects you to have a nitty gritty negotiation with the scum of the Sea and the CG mage just says no and starts negotiations with a fireball, or leaves and refuses to support party who are trying to mitigate damage to thier home. Sometimes DM's get too invested in making choices hard and meaningful and the players just refuse to play. it's actually the opposite of your linear take choice A or choice B because there are 100 different variables that could be in play but the player just rejects the whole grey deck of cards. but similar outcome for similar reason.
