I ran a D&D session for my peacenick college professor aunt and uncle one time. First encounter they get jumped by some kind of ogre or something a lvl1 could handle. "He lunges at you menacingly. What do you do?"
"I negotiate. Clearly we have tresspassed some how and I'd like to parley to make amends."
What? I couldn't convince them to fight. All conflict was resolved through negotiation or if all else failed was surrendered or avoided.
Hardest DM work I've ever done.
