8 Times We Weaselled Our Way Out of a Fight Because We're Heroes

It's not often videogames reward our innate cowardice, but occasionally we're allowed to use our words instead of our fists/giant guns. Consider the times we weaselled our way out of a fight with the power of talking and subscribe: www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox

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.

[@a_lethe_ion]

you dont need to have a high speech check. you just need the report. you need to get what the master wants to do and then you can just tell him that his work may be well intentioned but ultimately fraught and worthless because all his children are sterile.. so what he wanted to achieve is impossible, so he stops

[@SuperLlama42]

In Planescape: Torment you can actually convince the final boss to surrender. In fact, there's only 2-3 fights in the entire game that are mandatory, since the game generally encourages you to take a diplomatic approach to situations.

Honstly for the Dragon Age Inquisition post you should've gone with how you can avoid the boss battle against Grand Dutchess Florianne at the Winter Palace. Although I suppose Imshael is a harder battle... Also you could've gone with siding with the Dragon cult or gone along with Flemeth's deal about her grimoire, both found in Origins.

[@IdiocyKills]

Have y'all played as Malkavian in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines? It's a really good time. You could be a persuasive Malk, which is epic, or have skill points in everything except persuasion skills, and it's still fan-fucking-tastic. So. Many. Lols.

You _have to_ play as a moon-mad childe of Malkav as your last playthrough. You won't get any of the in-jokes without going through the story once with another clan, and the whole "knowing already how the story plays out" works into the Malkavian mindscape.

[@AkimboJoe]

Fallout 1 let you talk your way out of the battle with the final boss. If you convince The Master that the super mutants he was trying to convert all human life into were actually sterile (using forensic data gathered by the Brotherhood of Steel) he realizes his entire plan was madness and destroys his headquarters... WIN!

[@SyndicateOperative]

...and then you proceed to try to leave the compound, and immediately get killed by the extremely potent series of traps set up just outside the area the conversation is held in.

[@patrickharrison6293]

+Sister and the fun in that is..?

[@Anonymous-tp5qg]

+Da' Melon Sometimes the game will reward players for being more pacifistic by granting access to certain rewards that can only be accessed through specific dialogue. Or in some RPG's, like Fallout 3 for example, you can get more experience points by using unique dialogue options. It all depends on the game. If there is no bonus for opting out of a fight, reload the checkpoint, then slaughter everything.

[@GrassPokeKing]

Because the thing you're punching/stabbing/shooting/magicking to death is basically god, and can literally stomp you out like you're a very small fire. Like, not even a small fire. A few embers. A single spark. A flea's cigarette bud.

[@aphenine]

I still remember the best one of these I had was on PC in Baldur's Gate 2, where you get to talk to a Beholder guarding a crate with important stuff. 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...

You know, I've actually NEVER fought Saren at the end of ME1. I've always made it a point to max out either Paragon or Renegade, as I always feel the "best" choice is always the one you worked hardest for. The fact that you still have to fight off "Reaper Meat-puppet" Saren afterward makes me feel like it was still a fight. Unlike when I accidentally negotiated Legate Lanius off at the end of New Vegas. Heh, whoops. :P

In the "In my Time of Need" quest for Elder Scrolls V, you can weasel out of the fight twice. When you agree to help the redguard woman, you go out and find her pursuers. They give you a choice. Fight all 15 of them at once, or agree to let bring the woman to them. If you do that, it takes very little effort to lead her outside the city and just let the lead assassin do his job. Or you could do what I did. Agree to help the assassin, and then murder him in a 1v1 fight rather than the 1v15. Cowardice! Now even stormcloaks can do it!

I KNOW RIGHT tho this probably came out b4 undertale

[@Penguinwithamonocle]

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.

If you're intelligent enough to think of it and charismatic enough to be convincing, you can make your own Mortality that has unbound itself from you bind back to you out of fear of being killed.
