Socrates raised this question in the Apology. Well, what do you think, /lit/?
>Virtue is the ability to do things well, especially with the long-term outcome in mind, and knowledge is what enables virtue plus the recognition of being able to tell the difference.
>Nobody would want to do things poorly if they knew they could do things well, what the consequences would mean, and the point of doing virtue for its own sake.
>If you do unvirtuous things, you clearly do them out of some form of ignorance through your intentions, praxis, lack of know-how, etc.

Yeah, your "free agency" would be somewhat limited by perfect virtue, but only in the sense that you would never desire carrying out unvirtuous actions. There's plenty of virtuous actions remaining, and why would you want to do something poorly, do something evil, etc.? Your free will is still there.
