    Parley sucks

    After reading an interview about 2.0, I hear that not many people have complained about parley... So I wanted to take this moment to add my voice to the hatred of the minigame.

    Its clunky, slow, totally removes me from the immersion of the quests its in, and its not fun ever. Please remove it from 2.0.

    Yeah, I had forgotten about it too. But now that I remember it (and remember how much I hate it), I'm hoping we can convince Yoshi-P to do away with it, since he doesn't seem sure.

    I hope they can replace parley with another mini game.
    Parley is most time to easy (you only need a bit math during the game) and the NPC to weak.

    i thought it was kinda hilariously bad, but you can only get away with something like that if the game is good

    in the 1up interview, Yosh-P already said that he does not like parley. He also noted that he is not sure whether it will be removed, but it is being considered.

    This is what PLers actually believe. May Altana have mercy on our souls...

    I think the base idea of parley isn't a bad one. Negotiate through diplomacy is an interesting option that could definately be fun and change the pace of just stabbing anything that gets in your way, however fun stabby stabby is. In the overall story it fits i think because while your in opposition with the beast tribes.

    Your also part of a group that is seeking the bring them into the fold of the resistance against the Empire


    It sucks because the mini game itself is blah. But Diplomacy controlled by an AI is a crap-shoot of Bleh in most any game. Theres just few if any ways to really make a back and forth negotiation either feel real, be non-repetitive or feel like anything but pushing numbers around. theres no real way to bluff when you have an advantage and not have it feel like just more RNG chance.

    I'm sure if it was more written out like a story/ conversation it would be better but its will still be kinda the same thing.
