Yes, exactly. I think I conveyed my point poorly in this instance. He said he 'hoped the story wouldn't railroad anything' - my point - it railroads everything, because that is the way the game and story is structured. Get too pissed off with the railroading - then this might not be the type of game they would want to play (or too often anyway).
Personally I don't see the point against railing against it. We know how it goes regardless of the choices you make. I was hoping chopping Lee's arm off would make a difference, it didn't. I was hoping I could save Duck, I couldn't. There has been a number of choices that didn't go my way in this season too, but I fully expected that.
