Here's a good idea: At a high enough skill level, some quests could be done through negotiating with leaders - a parley with the guard to obtain entrance, and then a parley with the boss to talk him out of his weapon etc. But, if you fail the parley, they all kill you.

Im not going to spend all my time playing an endless series of repeated parleys in a few towns just to buff everyone else for free. I'm already sick of talking to the people in Tursh.
Well, just to add a little something. They already have quests where if you fail, they'll kill you (well, they'll try to anyway).

And it does extend to adventuring areas, especially when faction is considered.
