3 river diplomacy quest difficulty question

[Hungkung]

I don't know about a roadblock, but it sure is a heck of a detour...in adventuring it'd be like having to grind an extra 1000% to keep your combat skills up so you can be functional to your class.

even with the idea of "diplomats" having to have more skill(s) than your average meatshield so they have more training time in, it doesn't quite work. You don't send john adams to the king of france alone in 1770 to negoiate aid, this part is valid and the game reflect this, but it fails to reflect Ben Franklin never had to make nice with people for days to learn how to talk to them.

though reading that paragraph, Franklin did just that.

still it'd be nice if either the system were brought into some sort of logical progression or presence-up's came a little quicker. (though if I did my math right the current system shoudl allow you to get to lvl 500 diplo (dunno the cap) about the same time you are functional with all currently known presence factions)

dang it, now I don't know if I shoudl continue whineing about making things easier, or shadup and let the current system mean something if you actually arrive at the very bitter end of diplomacy.
