...and I'm like 99% sure that this is actually true.
But there were too many red flags in the whole dice roll mechanic for me to enjoy it. You named two of them which I absolutely - ABSOLUTELY - hate.
I remember how much I enjoyed being able to solve situations in D:OS2 in different ways (example: houndmaster, dogs and red ball).
Here, currently, I feel like the dice decides for me. And thats not what I expect from an RPG. Because this is MY role, not the role of the dice.
To me this reads like you just want to click the usually blatantly obvious "right" choice so you can dump CHA, social spells and skills. You don't get to pick the "kill them" option and have that automatically work either in most cases.
