I'm okay with Friends not making people hostile afterward. That's hard to deal with in a CRPG than in a TTRPG. As to the others, apparently plans are that Detect Thoughts, Friends, and other such spells are going to be implemented into dialogue but they haven't been yet. So you're looking at the fact that there's a feature they haven't finished yet.
That's what I was hoping was the case. I made a lot of decisions for RP reasons that just aren't implemented yet.
