In most games this would have led to a forced fight. In AoD you can actually tell the guy "You know? I'm just a random dude. What if I tell you who are the real conspirators?" and the game actually keeps going forward.
AoD is pure incline.
How is that pure incline, the guy is just a hireling, he doesn't have the choice to spare you, either he kills you or he's a disgrace to his profession.
Pure incline would be :
- He just kills you if you're not cautious (possibly skill check or just based on the player noticing something is wrong and taking action)
- You beat the crap out of him and then you have options to get some infos and try to avoid to get other assassins sent after you.
