What Are You Playing, Part 3: The Assassination of my Wallet by the Cowardly Sale

[Anteros]

I actually don't like games like Torment where you know that dialogue is the solution to every problem. Once you know that diplomacy always works, it stops feeling like a dynamic decision to try to talk things out vs using violence when needed and starts feeling like I just need to keep my numbers on the character spreadsheet high enough to keep the dialogue running. It loses a lot of the interactivity and immersion. You're not making decisions based on what you think is right, you're just going along with your highest stat distribution and watching the show.
