Ditto here. We actually spent one entire session roleplaying, with the only dice-rolling revolving around skill challenges. Odd how people overlook the new system rewards you just as much for skill challenges as killing things. Guess I should check my books again too.

=======================================

That's a good point. Previous editions of D&D were very nebulous about non-combat XP rewards, while the current edition does have a well-defined mechanism for skill challenges which supports roleplaying. (GM's are encouraged to think of different ways to approach NPCs during skill challenges with players being rewarded for approaching them correctly, and so forth.)
