Now that everyone is talking about Oblivion again, the speechcraft minigame is one of the most pathetic things ever put into an RPG (hexbear.net)

Bethesda didn't want to make a proper CRPG with actual dialogue trees and speech checks so this is what they came up with instead

Even making random townspeople like you by impressing them with massive farts in Fable makes more sense

The starfield mission I mentioned literally consists only of walking into a room, picking up a single item and then doing the persuasion minigame on two NPCs. There's no loot or killing stuff involved whatsoever. If these people aren't even trying to make an RPG then why is this shit in there?
