there’s only two ways to play a rpg literally no exceptions:

1) I’m jamieson knives murdermann, you don’t know my name past jamie because I already knifed you and took your stuff. there’s no problem I can’t solve with a weapon and, if needed, my bare hands.

2) I’m percival talky-friend stealthboy. I talk my way out of literally everything if possible, if not save-scum and sneak around instead. I viscerally hate the combat in this game and take joy in avoiding it.
