(…and don't say to me that ToEE was the best, because it was most certainly not) I guess this simplification is the same as most crpg ad&d games do follow. the "etiquette" social interaction mechanism is pretty much useless without an good DM, so the game wisely reduces it into a simple CYOA-style conversation system, where the chosen etiquette simply allows you to select certain responses.
