Yeah dialog based traits should NEVER give direct +1 bonus to skills or stats. It's cheese to the extreme. These things should either remain pure dialog related fluff (Although much to my shock, D:OS does not seem to use these traits anywhere in dialog with NPC's only for COOP dual dialog......) or add % values to certain things, like damage or health, or resistances etc.
So these traits are not just cheese, they are also not roleplaying related at all. You get them from dialog, but you can't use them for dialog. (And no, dual dialog is not dialog, talking to myself is a monologue ;P)
