It is inevitable that at some point it will come to a social combat amongst yourself. You all have different motivations and different intimacies and sometimes they can be opposite to the line of the general story. So even if you think it won't be necessary now in the game you may change your mind. But if you use mental influences making every little decision I don't see much of a benefit. It is only a waste of time.<br/><br/>That reminds me - why do I see so little intimacies?!
