Especially pre-1997 ones, since I'm not very familiar with that era.
I tend to always max out the charisma/speech/diplomacy modifiers, because I find talking my way out of battles a lot more satisfying than fighting. However, very few games properly support diplomats. Fallout 1, 2, Arcanum, and PS:T are good, but what about other games?
It seems to me that all older RPGs tend to focus on the action. They have plenty of stats, but I can't talk my way out of battles. I also absolutely hate action-RPGs like Diablo or Titan Quest.
So, can you recommend me some RPGs that have plenty of story, but little action (and are friendly to diplomats)?
