(The rules actually call this out in the "knight in armor is not engaged by a teenage girl" line, but it's not defined where the line is. Also it seems clear in an RPG that a person could keep moving, but there would be consequences - well what are the consequences?)
* You're sure it's an image you're facing, and try pretending it isn't there are walk forward.
* You're a 7-hex dragon with three hobgoblins or wolves or something engaging you somehow making it impossible for you to move except to push into them one hex.

That gives me an idea. I think it would be reasonable to allow a figure to ignore engagement as long as the engaging figure is allowed an "auto-hit" before the figure leaves engagement. That means you can largely ignore weak foes, although still at some risk, which seems more realistic.
