Imaging that you’re a farmer. It’s been a good season for you. Your wagon is filled to the top with delicious foods. As you travel to the market, you see a fork in the road.

I wondered if Rurik’s wreckless and stupid behavior was to blame. Running alone into an army of Charr is not the best of tactics. Rurik died and then my character fell to the ground – mission failed.
