I clearly remember the "on the rails" DM - who was a mate of one of my brothers. He had dialog all planned for when we walked into the first hallway (which was full of water). There was a switch to drain the passageway on the far side, and a trap under the water.

What happens? Magic User pulls out some walk on water spell and the entire first hallway 'script' went out the window.

I guess the point is he was too organised and a whole pile of how he thought the first encounter would go went straight out the window.

Anyway, I guess I'm echoing the "roll with how the players want and improvise if needed" idea.
