This is a question for people who dislikes strife/outbursts because you feel like it's telling you how to role-play:
What's the difference between:
- Strife triggering an outburst, and
- A Courtesy/Water check from an NPC you don't like to get your character to like them?
Do strife and outburst do anything differently than social mechanics to tell you how to role-play?
Oops sorry I posted this in the Rules Questions section instead of the general section.
