: It's the last level of a game, a hard game at that, for
: gameplay reasons it has to be difficult to throw the
: head in the devoid. You say "But if you
: lose..." but that's not how the story goes. The
: dwarf DID throw the head in there, so that's how we
: should look at it.
: Again, its a game, there's always a "lose" in
: the game, but the purpose was the win and continue the
: story down the correct path.
But the reason there's a lose is because you're facing opposition. If you weren't, then you would win every time. While the official ending is that the head was thrown in, we have to take the losses as plausible situations, otherwise, gameplay has nothing to do with the story at all.
