Mine would be arbitrarily slowing down a character to maintain horror in a game. I get if there are reasons like age, injury, or location that could provide context, but don't turn my legs into molasses because you need to time the jump scare just right.
Yeah, the excuse is something like "when those guys don't report in they'll send even more people in to replace them and punish the Wookiees for their deaths. Okay, sure. Logic works, I suppose.
But Jolee, my man. My plan is literally to overthrow the current regime. There isn't going to be anyone left to punish them.
