This can be true for combat or social resolution.However in dice less you don't anounce your actions in minute detail, you just do them."I feint to the left then spin around to get momentum with my sword as I swing to attack from the right at a slight angle coming down from above." can be modeled using a more specifically detailed combat resolution mechanics. In a foam sword LARP you just swing and do it."I tell him a joke to break the ice and try to get a feel for how he's reacting then move into the negotiations. I keep a friendly demeanor, my arms are not crossed so my body language is open, I maintain eye contact and smile, being sure to show my teeth and if we laugh I join in heartily." could be modelled with detailed dice resolution mechanics too. Diceless the player just talks.What actions are done by dice mechanics are a play style choice.Using dice mechanics to resolve social interactions accomplishes different ends than allowing face to face interactions happen without using dice mechanic resolutions.</blockquote>
