The Age of Decadence (2015)

A merchant or loremaster can approach quests through influence and knowledge rather than treating conversation as preparation for the same fight. Your skills and allegiances open some routes while closing others, giving a successful exchange the weight of a specialised build. Its hard checks and brutal combat punish a character spread too thin. Choose it for committing to social competence, with the acceptance that one playthrough will not see every available path.
