No, the GM could adjust it. Like many railroaded games, the outcome could be the same, but the route could be determined by how well the game is negotiated. For example, the GM could give feedback, and say, "If you had used this technique, instead of that technique, then you would have gotten a +2 sword instead of +1.".
Failure doesn't have to be all bad.
