And that's true across almost all rpgs -- the story's end is pre-determined. Some or all of the PCs may die, but the grand story is unchanged. That's a trad game.

Along the same lines, from a GM perspective, a trad game is going to end at THIS SPOT, pretty much regardless of player action (something I detest in most RPGs I play). I've played Cyberpunk where no matter how successful/unsuccessful you were at the task you got absolutely rolled at end.
