No matter what fork you take, you run into ogres.
Even if it is immediately a false choice, the point of the fork in the road isn't necessarily one of immediacy.
A poor DM will run the same exact campaign no matter what fork you take.
A good DM will still have the choice you make have impact, even if the immediate result no matter which way you go is a pair of ogres.
Maybe, if you go left you choose to save the prince rather than the princess. Yes, no matter which way you went you were going to encounter the ogres and it's only the hostage that's different. However, if the one you don't save gets killed by the Basilisk-knight, that means you got to make a choice that impacts the campaign.
It just didn't put you into conflict with the knight that the DM hasn't written up yet. That's next week.
that is pointed out in the video you can have the same encounter but different context for it.
