It is clear that if a being could see the future actions of everyone, then in order for such a being's knowledge of the future to be accurate, those actions must necessarily happen. They cannot happen otherwise, or else such a being's knowledge would indeed be false and thus we would not consider that being to have omniscience. However, should every action necessarily happen in a certain way, those actions are not contingent--they cannot happen otherwise. This implies that free will is merely an illusion.
You nailed it free will is an illusion. Everyone is who and what they are supposed to be. Everything is God's responsibility and there is no changing your destiny.
