This is obviously not the case, as they have stated clearly that a skill challenge should not be the sole determining factor of an adventure.... players would have the choice to skip it entirely, or to try it and fail miserably. Doing either of those two may make their primary goal harder, but that doesnt change the fact that those options are available.Because those options are available, limiting intimidate in this skill challenge is not railroading. Players still have multiple routes of success for their primary objective. Just because not all of those routes are as optimal as others doesnt make it railroading, it makes it interesting.</blockquote>
