First off, the game should include the whole party for conversations and the companion best suited should roll the check. It should not be a solo gig. This vastly solves the issue of low skill checks and many games have implemented this solution..
This was supposed to be an upcoming feature at some point, Swen explicitly mentioned it being in the work during an interview with two streamers.
But then months have passed since then and not a single mention of it has been made again, so it's hard to tell what's really going on with this EA.
