I have to admit, even though I still find melee classes boring, I have been enjoying the barbarian because of the dialogues.
From what I've tried, there are even small differences between the intimidation options: berserkers is more "raaagh" and gets advantage on these checks.
That would be a stupid thing to do, if you character is not a thief. I understand it makes sense from a roleplay perspective, but in the first dungeon I would regret this decission.
Funny enough my best lockpicker was my drow druid, she had very high dexterity and that combined with enhance ability and the guidance locket meant she rarely failed the checks. Imo these two spells can make anyone successful at any job.
