I just meant since there is a skill, Gather Information, that allows you to by-pass an entire evening of role-playing legwork so why aren't there a skill that allows you to by-pass an entire combat encounter? -But it was said tongue in cheek and just for laughs. In fact I enjoy combat as much as role-playing but to me it's strange just to be wanting one of the two. Discussions here at ENs tend to become formulaic but I enjoy this too nevertheless.
Well, as mentioned in several places, there are a few games that do expand on the social context of using the mechanics for the game.
And as others have noted, they do model the results of the dice rolls based on what people have said.
But I do understand where you're coming from.
