TTRPG goodies AND helping people in need, what's not to love?

Power Word Meal is a fundraiser event created by DnD Shorts and the United Nations World Food Programme! 100% of donations go to feeding vulnerable children and families in regions affected by war and famine. It's like Doctors Without Borders, but for food! You can donate a number of meals to feed people using the link here!: https://sharethemeal.org/challenges/45128bdd-3377-538d-9aa2-1d4b0eb156c5?meals=50&adjust_t=1sbfo3dt

Player characters can be obliged to act in certain 'non-optimal' ways due to character traits (impulsiveness, addiction, codes of honour, etc). Fantasy settings can add mind control rays, charm spells, magical compulsions, etc.

How can we turn these constraints on player choice (bad thing) into interesting new player choices (good thing)?
