Scripted Animation Sequences are 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 Animation Sequences it still gives an amount of Freedom of Choice compared to Cutscenes in that one can at least explore other parts of Game Worlds while the animations are shown. Even so, if players can note that the sequences are scripted, this can hurt any Exaggerated Perception of Influence they may have. Also, the eventual Own Agenda of Non-Player Characters in a game can also be compromised if the game has Replayability besides Scripted Animation Sequences; this since seeing a Scripted Animation Sequence several time reveals the artificial nature of the Non-Player Characters.
Although Scripted Animation Sequences typically take place where players can give them their full attention, the pattern can be used to modulate The Show Must Go On by requiring players to engage in Attention Swapping.
