    I guess this is where the "narrative controls" mentioned above might come into play again. They could let a player opt in to such dramatic, stunning moments or opt out of them. Granted, they'd fit the crunchy mechanics of the old FFG systems about as well as an Ork fits a ballet.

    I should mention that in our campaign, it wasn't an actual enemy psyker that used mind control. It was a daemon-possessed Sentinel walker that grabbed us and forced us into the cockpit to make us fight the rest of the party. Which, granted, makes it less of an issue than many mind control methods, since it was a unique boss mechanic.
