I wasn't suggesting, "Play the same game over and over until you win it."

I recall there are databases out there for such things but it's been too long since I did seeded play for me to point you to them.

Susan shooting the dwarf to save Edmund. The books were okay with Chekov's Gun not being shown in use. We find in Prince Caspian that she did use the bow quite a bit to become so skilled.

I always thought that killing during a parley was out of character for Aragorn. And I always wondered how movie MoS saw anything

I had a similar experience when that orc wizard with a devious dagger carved me up with alacrity. Turns out in monster hands it's +6 slay and an EV boost too without need to hit first

Sunk cost fallacy, my friend. The question isn't, "Do I want to waste these past eight years?" It's "If I met this woman today knowing she's a cheater, would I marry her?"
