DeadOfKnight

I personally prefer floating portraits: Uses some of that widescreen real estate and looks nice and clean. And you've got more functional area down below for extra buttons, etc.

I think in tabletop games it's everything but the combat that makes it fun to play, but it's up to you if you want to approach each encounter in such a way to avoid combat. Inevitably, someone in your party wants to conquer everything they face so you'll often be dragged along for the ride. I know I always wanted to play as a cowardly bard that boasts of all his heroic deeds and then hides in the corner while his companions do all the fighting, but the fact of the matter is this approach, as entertaining as it is, will eventually get you looked at as a liability rather than an asset and it won't be long before the DM sets up a scenario to get you killed if you keep walking that same path. The bottom line is that combat, as much as it doesn't equate to good roleplaying, is a big part of the challenges put before you. Not every encounter can be resolved peacefully. I agree that it would be nice to give you that option a bit more than we see presently, but no one wants their game to be called "easy".
