Yeah I don't want to spoiler for anyone so don't click the hidden bit unless you've already completed the Trials of Shar. But you're right, I
Made me laugh pretty hardspoiler
successfully persuaded the super-hench devil (that I'd been repeatedly warned to avoid because they're so powerful) to first kill all his henchmen, then kill himself, fight avoided

The spoiler is visible to me, on Liftoff app
Visible to me on wefwef too, but I didn’t look at the text below either since it was called out lol
Kbin also shows the spoiler. Luckily, I’d already done that bit.
Act 2 has some awesome chances to bypass boss fights entirely... if you can pass multiple conversation checks in a row. My rogue almost won the bar conversation, but when you need to succeed 6 times in a row, luck is just not on your side.
Yeah 6 in a row is a big ask. Gotta get that sweet, sweet Inspiration stashed away!
I'm barely into act 2 and I've already convinced 2 different groups of enemies that suicide was in fact, the answer. Love this game
Edit: 3 groups
I am just on the way to the city now (second playthrough, but the first ended at an earlier point due to my shitty choices lol), and I've made maybe half the foes I could talk to just do themselves in. Although, technically, one of those didn't take and I still had a big fight to deal with...
It's not that OP if you're playing on the hardest difficulty. On the first two, charming or even using detect thoughts on someone in dialogue only gives the bonuses. If you're on the hardest difficulty, you can piss them off when they notice you using magic on them.
On Tactician I persuaded a certain ambushing demon (devil? Something) to kill all of his allies and then himself, completely dodging what is otherwise a pretty tough fight.
It's pretty OP.
