I am making a game which draws heavily on Celtic myth/history, and the Celts are famed for being impossible to shut up.
I want to make a battle mechanic where you, an potentially enemies as well, can insult each other to gain bonuses, or to throw each other off. However, I thought it would be fun to have the player have at least some choice of what to say.
I've been trying to make this work through common events, where a "Taunt" skill calls the common event and then you choose a dialog option. Currently, I have a "You should be afraid of me" option that debuffs their ATK, an "insult" option that debuffs their defense, and a "weird" option that inflicts a confusion state. These are not necessarily the only options that will be available.
However, it currently pops up an "it had no effect" message before calling the common event choice window, and then afterwards doesn't give any indication as to whether it worked or not. I'm sure I could manually insert a message that said "the enemy is confused!" or something, but I don't know how to temporarily disable the "no effect" message.
Can I do this better with a script? If so, I'd appreciate being pointed to one.
Or else, should I split this "trash talking" into multiple skills? I could have a "Taunt" skill that's distinct from an "Intimidate" skill, has a precise effect, and then lets the player just choose their words.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
