Probably my own most frequent use of Social Engineering is as a checklist for character creation; I look at the new perks and techniques, especially, and ask which of them a character might have. It's also useful as a guide to playing scenes of characters visiting unfamiliar places. I have a lot of those in my current GURPS campaign, which is a bronze age fantasy world where a group of merchant adventurers are seeking new markets.
