As Animorte already pointed out, every good DM does this. The examples of scripted and planned with the players things are things like Travis knew Bertrand was "Leaving" and it was, in fact, Travis' idea to set things up that way. Travis didn't know the details or how it would happen, however.

I've found lots of DMs that do that thing frequently.
I do it all the time with my DM. Whenever the character build I tried doesn't turn out as fun as expected, I talk with my DM how best to retire the current character. Either retire dramatically or go out with a bang in combat. We "plan" things, but during the chaos of an actual game, we always get surprised on how this actually plays out.
