Immaculate: "Stop, heathen scum! Only the Faithful may pass!"
Protagonist: "Guys, trust us, we're totally on the level here. No need to fight, just let us go through!"
*ding!*
*several rounds of Rock Paper Scissors later*
Protagonist: "And rock beats scissors. I win!"
Immaculate: "Truly the Goddess guides thy hand. You may pass, faithful one!"
This is exactly what I am feeling whenever a RPS game appears. :P
The persuasion system wasn't very well planned out ever since it was being developed. They wanted something a bit more involving than rolling some pseudo-random numbers behind the screen and giving you a result, but they didn't manage to find divine inspiration by the time they couldn't change it any more due to constraints.
They didn't have a deadline, did they? It should have been easy enough to kick out the RPS game and replace it with some out of sight dice rolling. Shouldn't take much time.
