Okay, I'm just gonna be a big girl and talk this shit out.<br/><br/>I'm struggling with my motivation to be involved in this combat because it feels very much like we're all being railroaded onto a single path, into a particular fighting style, and there's really no reason to even play it out.  Why not just roll the dice to see if we survive, if we're going to essentially have the bulk of our skills and abilities negated by circumstances?
