I like the R,P,S approach and find it novel and refreshing. It's so much better than immediately being tossed into a conflict you don't want, for instance. I also found that if you don't like the result you can reload the save and try again--and you can actually get the result you want...;) I was surprised by that as I had thought the whole thing merely scripted--it's not...the game can branch either way at one of these junctures.

I'm never wrong about anything, and so if you see an error in any of my posts you will know immediately that I did not write it...;)
