 If players can note that the sequences are scripted, this can hurt any [[Exaggerated Perception of Influence]] they may have.

 [[Scripted Information Sequences]] is a way to present [[Predetermined Story Structures]] during gameplay, but which are even so typically [[Ultra-Powerful Events]] once they have been started. Even if this means that players may not be able to interrupt or influence the [[Scripted Information Sequences]] it still gives an amount of [[Freedom of Choice]] compared to [[Cutscenes]] in that one either can choose to at least explore other parts of [[Game Worlds]] while the animations are shown (if the sequences does not force players to react to it) or is part of gameplay. Given this [[Freedom of Choice]] and the fact that the [[Scripted Information Sequences]] are located at specific points in the [[Game Worlds]] when they are enacted makes them a form of active [[Environmental Storytelling]].
