Bethesda didn't want to make a proper CRPG with actual dialogue trees and speech checks so this is what they came up with instead

Even making random townspeople like you by impressing them with massive farts in Fable makes more sense

For a "cinematic" persuasion minigame, Deus Ex Human Revolution's is so good and nobody has ever done anything similar (although maybe you could consider LA Noir's conversations an evolution of that idea).

For anything else if you're not cribbing Fallout1/2/NV (I consider Disco Elysium an advancement of that idea) then you are wasting my time. Just let me pick at character creation between being nice, sarcastic, or an asshole - we all know it doesn't matter anyway.
