Character creation: stats for a power storyteller(CH > S

Hi, I'm planning my character and I'd like to enjoy the maximum possible dialogues in Arcanum. Does anybody already tried that? If so, how would I create and level up such character?

I was planning to focus on CH, PE, IN, BE, in that order, sort of ignoring everything else. I know that are many other factors, such as race, alignment, and also other abiliities and skills.

Also, I wouldn't like to waste my CPs. So if I tried to get CH 20 as soon as possible, and then got something like KAI’TAN’S BLESSING, I'd be waisting 1 CP.

I don't mean to be a power gamer, just a power storyteller I don't mind suffering from low STR, DEX and others in order to experience more storetelling.

Well, I might be wrong, but from my experience so far, it seems like Intelligence has had the most effect on dialog path options. For example, my current PC has Charisma and Willpower maxed (as well as Persuasion and Haggle skills) and Beauty of 15. Her Intelligence is only 8. When I did the statue speech in Ashbury, I had very limited options. I tried again with an INT potion and many more choices. *shrug*

 

I'm really unclear what PE is supposed to do for you here? Perhaps I am misremembering its effect on dialogue, but I thought that was related to throwing/shooting.
