Actual emotional memory might be hard as players often play humaniods who are not human and have fantastical cultures, histories, and lifestyles.Not to mention that Freeform Roleplay can get to metagamey areas whether you do RP with final skill checks or not. I've witness many sub-9 INT geniuses, suave smoothtalkers with CHA dumped, and PC not fitting their wisdom score.Page 75 of the 4e DMG states that players don't know all their skills of a challenge.Page 85 of the 4e DMG states alternate rewards for suceesful skill checks.The DMG1 and DMG2  even go on to say that skill challenges are supposed to be multifaceted and not something you can spam one skill over and over.Like I stated before most people did skill challenges wrong. Most DMs would have been better copying the example challenges until they figured it out.</blockquote>
