Lanius isn't the first Fallout villain you can talk your way out of fighting. In the original Fallout, if you have 100% speech and charisma and you've gotten the autopsy report from the Brotherhood of Steel, you can convince the Master that his "Unity" plans are fruitless as all super mutants are sterile, causing him to kill himself and all his minions with a nuclear explosion. Much easier than trying to fight it.

Instead of starting normal hardcore boss-fight, he starts talking to you, and if you talk to him, you convince him that the person who summoned him really didn't want him to defend what's in the crate, but the crate itself, so he totally doesn't mind you opening the crate to look and, once you've emptied the crate, he decides there's not point guarding it any more and goes home. You even get to meet him again in the expansion and... so much joy...

Undertale most likely wouldn't count in this because it's in a way hinted to try. Well not exactly hinted it's literally shoved and rubbed in your face. It's literally included in the game mechanic, to talk it out to avoid confrontation in almost all battles (yes yes Undine fight but that doesn't count when you basically have to complete her quest much like sans and all others) it's basically the same effect they did in mass effect and dragon age complete potential friends quests and they may not brutally murder you or sacrifice you or turn on you. It's nothing new but in the games they shows these are examples of basically weasling your way out of a situation, especially if it's a very tough battle in a game. In Undertale you still have to fight in the end that life bar does go down even when you're doing a pacifist run for Asriel because your weapon is words and what not. So it wouldn't count because it's just how you end a game with speaking is included while these other games they mentioned still involved mass amounts of fighting and if you can just have a break on one boss like talking to them to avoid a fight or taking a deal or going around finding something to stop them or even weakening them people will do it.

My favorite's in Cave Story. Sure it's simple, but when Balrog asks if you're ready to fight, if you just say No, he'll happily hop away

I remember in "Leather Goddesses of Phobos" the only way to get past this assassin without dying WAS by not fighting him. You had to give him your sword and he kills himself with it because he "realises" you're the hero and can't beat you

"To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy's plans... He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight." -Sun Tzu Just saying, if it's good enough for THE GREATEST MILITARY GENERAL OF ALL TIME, it's good enough for me.

You guys forgot about Skyrim! You could either Bribe, Persuade, or Intimidate some of the enemies to leave you alone or do what you want. And some items can influence the chances that these things will work. Its cool

I just want to say, that in the dozen or so play-through I have on Mass Effect, that I have never actually battled Saren on the Citadel (first battle). He always shoots himself first lol.

Speaking of letting yourself to be talked out of a fight... in the end of Jade Empire, the main antagonist offers you a choice to surrender and get fame and a literal golden statue of yourself.

Combat in Mass Effect was great. Great in that you could load your weapon with mods that overheated it for massive damage gains. Nothing like overloading a gun with one shot and killing a Geth prime in one shot. :D

The "A Night to Remember" quest in Skrim isn't as major a plot point as others in this list, but it is notable for letting you Speech-check your way through all steps of it. Sure you cost several people a lot of time and money, but at least you can go straight to getting the neat staff without any intended temple-cleaning, goat-stealing, or hagraven-killing.

Reminds me of the Temple of Trials in Fallout 2, where you could just as easily talk your way out of the final trial - fight. Because intelligence and speech are the skills you go for in a post-apo wasteland. And guns. But who knew you'll start in a tribal village with no guns?

In Dark Souls III I just got the giant man-eating crystal lizard to chase me to the first bonfire and then timed it so he'd just roll/fall off the cliff. No fighting necessary. I tried fighting the swordmaster to get the katana off him, but I wasn't successful, so I just ran from him. I tried to get him to follow me down to the shrine entrance and then was suddenly granted a bunch of souls. Turns out he fell/jumped off the cliff, so I just saved, quit, and reloaded to get the loot to show up properly. Always nice to avoid fights where possible in any SoulsBorne game.

Skyrim: If you are playing as a heavy armored warrior with giant axe/sword/hammer, you have almost no chance to kill Madanach in Forsworn conspiracy, so you basically forced to join Forsworn

In my opinion, the best way to beat Lukan the Witless from Arcanum is to convince him that he's irritated the local branch of the thief's guild and should leave town immediately. Hey, those half-ogre bodyguards are tough!
