That's what I meant though. If the rolls are terrible enough, they'll shut down player agency. If the rolls are awesome, they'll increase player agency. If the rolls are meh, then either small setbacks or small improvements to player agency happen. This happens in every quest that moderately to heavily involves dice. If a quest involves dice, the dice tend to trump narrative decision. Often and especially at the worst times.

I feel like this is a shaky definition of "player agency," because it appears to treat "player agency" as a synonym for "players always decide what happens and nothing significantly unwelcome to players can happen."

If you are playing a game and the other team wins the match, it does not mean that as a member of the losing team you "lacked agency."

Right, we're gonna smack and distract them some more so the Druchii can gain some momentum back since they're the heavy fighting force on the Ark. Slaves friends will come later, but getting Alyssa forces withered down would help more. The Exalted can keep summoning but they can't replace the sorcerers and mortal units forever.

Honestly, while Freddy and Eldyra are captured again. That we made out of the Auction house with barely any casualties for our named character is already a win. Just got to hang in there, regroup the party and set out for another rescue mission.

Serious question: was Frederick really wearing pants in that duel?

Depending on when the fighting is taking place, Frederick might need to have a bunch of icky black pitch ectoplasm stuff dribbling down his body as a result of his being propped up by Gazul in that fight. Frederick was quite naked for a lot of Karak Ungor's latter portion, but then they got to that one store room, and I think he got some gear ish to put on at that point. But then the gyrocopter went down, dragged down there, soul kinda shred-ripped by the Changeling....it was quite chaotic.
 
Also, with the new DLC coming down the pipe for Total War Warhammer III, we now have a look at some ogre units who I think can really emphasize both how big ogre weapons can be and how damaging through your own ogre units in the Ostland roster, as well as the current mount of one of your dynasty members in Alexandria. The Thundertusk, I mean. I would encourage you, if you're in a place to do it and not, like, the office or whatever, to try and scrutinize the size differences between the weapons, the units, and so on vs. each other so you can better visualize what I might be describing in the quest. But also the Thundertusk. Alexandria is not nearly as big as an ogre, though.

I think Freddie finishes more fights without pants than he does with them by this point. He's flashed a good 80% of his friends and allies

Plus what would we actually tell him? If we tell him how much his actions hurt Hultressa then most likely he'd just preen over how awesome he was when he did that, since the guy's a sadist. If we try to fight him it seems more likely then not that he'd kick our ass.

"You hurt my friend" does he have to say more?

I feel the picture is an artist rendition of the scene at a later date. It is a painting hanging in some sigmarite temple somewhere, showing Frederick, as sigmar, welding one of the runefangs, a symbol of the empire's military might, reaffirming the holy pact with the dawi and fighting Chaos.
And ofc he could not be depicted naked.
 
Whoops, missed the vote deadline. Busy few days. I still feel like this is a scenario where Freddy is very weirdly specialized into surviving considering all the horrendous suffering he has self inflicted/endured.

Its a bit like getting mauled by a tiger. Somebody who has never been mauled will probably die. But if you've survived being mauled on numerous occasions-

-Burnt alive, Kara Ungor and Skulltaker, the Treeman beatdown, Keelhauling, killed by Screamtakers coven...-

-then Freddy is pretty uniquely suited to actually pulling through in a situation like this. There's actually a lot of room for hope here..

With the widow being able to indirectly to ease the pain, which compensates for the loss of the light of summer. Shit Freddy aced the Torture training with Hultressa.

And honestly Hultresa is a fantastic character (Thanks Torroar). She genuinely did the best she could considering how dire things had gotten for her. We always knew she was doing everything for Gwendolyn, and its a bit mad to think she would let her be taken by a cult of Slaanesh worshipping Drucchi.

It's such a miracle we did not bring them to the temple.

Not as bad as it could be. At this point Freddy is basically specced into surviving horrendous torture, PRAISE SIGMAR!

The Ark is going to absoloute shit, and this is genuinely the best time to start a rebellion. We did not bomb the coliseum, they are still possible targets. Fuck it, this is the weakest they will ever be and it is time to fucking take the Ark, and kill them all. WE DRIVE THIS ARK BACK OUTLAND IN TRIUMPH.

In the immediate aftermath:
Frederick: If I had a penny for every time I punched an Asur Prince in the face and got away with it I'd have two pennies. Which isn't much, but it is odd that it happened twice.:V

Presumably for the same reason Cult of Sigmar refuses to show what Sigmar did in the aftermath of all the feasts with the Dawi and their "all you can drink" policy on the finest booze in the Old World. :V

Hot Take: Sigmar should snatch up Gwen from Khaine, and gift her His Mein because He thought it would be really funny. Also save a soul from eternity of murder and helping his bro Fred out but also because it was very funny

Very epic, very detailed, supprised Ungrim hair is not longer , it was super long in total war. Imagined skulltaker being sharper in detail. but other than that, it deserves to be made into a mural.

But the wagons are not what you focus on. It's the dwarfs. They are quite literally not like any dwarfsthat you have ever seen in your entire life.

I'd actually ask that you not. One part of the discussion has already declared lack of being convinced, and intention to let it end there after my aforementioned post on the circling stuff which was in fact a call to inaction, by which I meant let the topic stop circling endlessly. Please let this lie fallow? Please? Just...you can stop engaging on this point, and that would be fine, I think.
