Involuntary actions

Other (objects, etc.) concept

The protagonist may suddenly decide to do something that is not what the player commanded them to do, whether or not this was voluntary for the protagonist either. Only when this happens out of scripted events (cutscenes).

This is generally NOT for scripted sequences.

Mostly for involuntary actions that somehow disrupt progress and anything similar, otherwise we can consider them voluntary.

The view turning towards something interesting/important should not count in most cases.
