Is there a market to a social-fu game

[Aerozord]

Because I'm not sure how well used this term is, by social-fu I mean defeating enemies with social skills. Making good arguments, forming alliances, etc.

Most games have it as an option. Personally its my favorite tactic. Some people feel cheated when a boss battle is avoided or won without actually fighting. To me, its the ultimate display of prowess over your enemies. It says, I'm so awesome, I dont even need to attack you.

However, those are just options, potential play methods in a game. But I wondered if it could be the focus. A game like those, but the combat option, isn't an option. Where you are in an action game, but instead of being the grizzled space marine, you are a normal man armed with a silver tongue. You have to find logical flaws in their ideals, search areas for information to use in arguments, form alliances to use as leverage.

A game where you are required to save the world with a few well chosen words.
