To be honest I don't understand why people do that either
Also critical role season 2 party choices for talking to important NPCs
Caduceus: "This situation requires honesty, verbal finesse, tact, and probably someone with Arcane knowledge. Beau you're coming with me"
Me: what
Beau: *immediately starts lying to the powerful wizard*
Me: Jesus Christ
hahaha yes
I remember season one when they sat outside the gates of the capital city of the desert coming up with a devious lie to get to see the ruler of the country when one of them said
Percy: "Guys, we're famous adventurers here seeking aid to defeat evil dragons that are besieging our homeland, and I'm a foreign head of state, can't we just walk up and be honest?"
Scanlan: "Be honest?! We've never done that, how do you even do that"
Yeah the decision to bring Beau along as his +1 to talk to the Arch Mage in Nicodranas was just bonkers.
It got better and worked out in the end, but listening to Beau start fucking lying right off the bat was like "you have chosen...poorly"
My friend is playing a Shadowrun character who cannot lie (or, at least, can't lie well) because his totem requires that he tells the truth. But the totem is fine with lies of omission as long as he doesn't state knowing falsehoods. This is problematic, because he's the face of the group when my character isn't around. It's been interesting to see how the player works around this crippling flaw.
When my character (who is a Hacker/Face) is around, we usually end up playing "Truth Cop, Lie Cop", and tag team social encounters. I tell blatant lies while he tells just enough of the truth to confuse our marks.

It really pains me how much people on the interet are getting angry at Marisha for this, as if she is ruining everything
They got mad at her for Key'leth being TOO honest in S1!
She roleplays the hell out of her characters, Beau is an angry person who never lets her guard down and is a self described "Disaster lesbian" incapable of making good decisions, and Marisha nails the character she created. Keyleth was a naive good person who was willing to stand against an endless horde of undead with 2 spell slots left while her party ran away because "Every one of them we take down is another person who doesn't get killed by them", and yet the "fans" have a huge subset that are just like a pit of barking dogs endlessly giving the player shit for her character's suboptimal decisions (as to actual poor spell choices, as Marisha said, you try playing a character with 200+ spells available in front of an audience of thousands and knock it out of the park)

Not lying isn't the most crippling flaw. All that's important is word choice and making sure the person you're trying to manipulate only hears what you wanted them to hear and not necessarily realize what the actual truth is.

I mean, we collaborate in our gaming group and throw suggestions at each other of what to do, within the group. But no one is quarterbacking everyone else's actions or RP choices. Throwing shit in front of an audience does change the nature of the game, though. It becomes less "play" and more "performance". Which can be fun, but also is riddled with other challenges.
EDIT: I'm also imagining a situation where you're at a convention and playing a public game, and some asshat comes by and stands behind you and tells you that everything you're doing is wrong and I'm like "AAAAAAAHHHHH".
