interesting, sometimes a skip could work, but sometimes an alternative route should be better, cause there are canonical things that must happen for the story to unfold

Now you've got me confused. If certain things must happen, aren't they neither optional nor alternative?
Optional: You can have chocolate, or not. Also Vanilla, or not.
Altenative: You must choose between chocolate or vanilla, but only one.
Mandatory: You can't order without a cone, Sir. No, Sir, I'm not scooping it into your hand.
Something that must happen is just regular mandatory event, or am I missing something?
